File Role Comparison XDF (TunerPro) KP (WinOLS) Primary Use Map "road map" for binary files Practical tuning definition (MapPack) Format XML-based/Text Binary/Proprietary MapPack Key Content Map addresses, conversion formulas, and labels Map locations and axis data specific to a project Common Challenges
XDF sometimes uses MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) or UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator), while KP requires geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude in WGS84). Use QGIS or GDAL’s gdaltransform to reproject before exporting to KML.
You may also encounter the term "OLS" in conversion discussions. An OLS file is a complete WinOLS that contains both the BIN data and the map definitions together. In contrast, a KP file contains only the map definitions —essentially a pure definition file without the underlying binary data. xdf to kp
A proprietary file format used by WinOLS . It contains the map definitions, including names, addresses, and scaling, for a specific project. 2. Recommended Conversion Methods
| Metric | XDF (Source) | KP (Target) | After Conversion | |--------|--------------|-------------|------------------| | Integrated LUFS | -26.2 | -24.0 | -24.0 | | True Peak | +0.3 dBTP | ≤ -1 dBTP | -1.1 dBTP | | Loudness Range (LRA) | 18 LU | ≤ 10 LU | 9.5 LU | | Max short‑term loudness | -18 LUFS | > -21 LUFS (guideline) | -20.1 LUFS | : This tool can sometimes bridge formats, though
: WinOLS handles complex map transformations and axis scaling natively.
Measure the source XDF mix’s integrated loudness and true peak using a loudness meter (e.g., Youlean, Nugen VisLM, or iZotope Insight). You may also encounter the term "OLS" in
(often used for the reverse) or scripts from communities like are standard. 2. Identify the Base Files
Manual conversion or script configuration requires a precise understanding of how parameters translate between software environments: Feature / Attribute TunerPro (.XDF) Structure WinOLS (.KP) Equivalent (Hexadecimal) Absolute or Relative Start Address Data Size (e.g., 8-bit, 16-bit) Organization (Byte, Word, Dword) Map Dimensions / Number of Columns / Rows X/Y Axis Addresses or shared tables Axis Descriptions / Axis Profiles Conversion Formula (X * Factor) + Offset Factor & Offset properties Critical Caveats & Troubleshooting
Converting (TunerPro) files to (WinOLS Map Pack) files is a common challenge in ECU tuning, as there is no single "one-click" official tool to handle the transition between these two proprietary formats. Conversion Approaches is an XML-based format used by TunerPro and
