The Decoding / Encoding service through the Alientech Data Bank is provided free of charge to
all owners of K-TAG in Master version that have Slave tools associated to their user.
How to decode a file
1. Login to the Alientech Data Bank https://databank.alientech.to/ with your Customer Code
and password.
You can find your Customer Code clicking on the Info button on the main window of the K-
Suite software, when the tool is connect to your computer. The password for the first login
is provided via e-mail upon completion of product registration.
2. Enter the Manage K-TAG Master / Slave section in the Your User Account box.
3. In the Select File panel, click Browse and select the encoded file received from your Slave.
4. Select Decode and wait for the loading of the file in the database.
The backup file received from your Slave is thus decoded and split into single files for the
components of the ECU (Micro file, EEPROM file and Flash file). You can use these files in the
Original Slave File box (on the left, on a green background).
If the Download File buttons are not enabled, the file containing the data for that component is
not present in the encoded file received from your Slave.
In case the map zone is shared between Flash and Micro, there is only one file
called Maps File. When available, always download the Maps File and use it to
perform the mapping of the vehicle. If Maps File is not available, use the files of
the single components.
