esys generate a CAFD file without an active connection.

Can I generate a CAFD VO/FA coding file without writing it to the car and without active connection the car?

For example, I want to know what changes have been made to the coding.
1) I connect to the car and save the CAFD file that is on the car now.
Go to the folder and rename the file:
esys_folder/CAF/CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd

CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd -> CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd.my_changes.txt

2) I choose the ECU and press to VO code, the new file is written to the module. Now i am reading this file again.
I go to the folder again and rename it again

CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd -> CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd.VO_code.txt

Now i have two files and can find out what the difference is between them.

3) But I need the first file to be recorded on the car, so I have to write CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd.my_changes.txt back again.

and i have to do extra action which can be avoided but how to get CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd.VO_code.txt file to avoid step 2 and not be physically connected to the car?

Bonus:
For those who want to compare two files:
esys->editors & viewers-> FDL editor
open the file CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd.my_changes.txt and save as text. do the same with the file CAFD_000013D8_003_004_000.ncd.VO_code.txt.

Now you can use any program for comparisons, such as WinMerge and see the difference quickly.

UPDATE:

Yes, you can.
Choose connection to any gateway, then go to Coding-Verification and choose the FA and CAFD which you want to generate (NCD Trace).
Thanks
