So I have an XDF file from the previous owner as below.

I notice the word "Raw" appearing an awful lot under the Tables section.

When I check the Hex Address, for a particular title with the word "Raw" before it, I notice the Hex Address is the same as something without "Raw" in the title.

Example: Raw Timing Map and Timing Map both have the Hex Address.

If I execute a change, it does it to both the Raw Timing Map and Timing Map tables.

I think that someone was lazy and forgot to delete the duplicate entries.

Any idea what is going on and why the reduncies?

I'd like to remove the duplicate Titles/Tables so that I can better focus.

Below is the example of two different Timing Titles with the same Hex Address.

As you can see in the pictures..."raw" comes up an awful lot, but it is just a redundant title/table (same Hex Address).

Thanks for your help!

I have wondered the same. I'm fairly certain the "RAW" values are showing the numbers the ECU actually deals with instead of your human readable values. The values should be modifying the same thing in the raw timing table and the regular timing table, except you can read what the regular timing table is and quickly understand it's values where as you'd have to do a calculation on the raw values to see what the real value was.

I guess that makes sense. The raw values in my case can be read easily too though. They are identical.
