Modified on Tue, 7 Jan at 7:24 PM

Overview

The Project Comparison Tool is a feature inside of DENSO’s Wincaps3 software which allows you to check the differences between your Wincaps3 project files on your PC and the actual project data loaded onto DENSO controller. This can be very useful for determining if something has changed on the controller relative to the project data on your PC.

This feature comes with a purchased license of Wincaps3 and does not require additional activation.
