ESP TRAINING TOOL
The training tool allows you to view the ESP screens
without an ECU connected. The training tool is
intended to allow users to become familiar with the
screens and fields within ESP. The training tool does
not have the full functionality that ESP has when
connected to an ECU (running unit).
The training tool has the code versions and
workspaces to represent ECUs. When using the
training tool, the user must select the proper code
version and workspace to view the screens
representative of the desired engine.
OPENING A TRAINING TOOL WORKSPACE
1. To run the training tool, double-click the icon
located on the desktop.
2. Open “File”, then select “Open Workspace”.

3. Select (double-click) the appropriate code version.
The code version is easily identified on the live

engine by the icon in the upper left of the ESP
screen. The following table shows the icons for the
three most recent code versions. If the code
version is not known, select the most current:
0x44FC6077.
DESCRIPTION ICON
The ESP screen will display the

Horsepower logo if the ECU has
the 0x44FC6077 version of code
installed.

Centennial logo if the ECU has
the 0x425A587D version of code
installed.

Dresser Waukesha logo for all
previous versions of code.

Reference the ESP Training Tool Readme.txt document to determine the appropriate workspace. To determine
the proper workspace for your engine, find your engine on the list and reference the workspace code shown on
the left column.

5. Open the “General.wrk” workspace file.
6. The training tool is now open. Select the appropriate screen by clicking on the tabs at the top of the screen. The
numbers are default values for display only. Reference the ESP programming section of one of the electronic
