Is there any plan to add string compares or other string functions to IQAN yet?

I run into this wall somewhat regularly as our machines get more complex. Adding even simple comparison to strings would be useful. The problem I am trying to solve right now is that I have no way to compare a string to know if it has changed.

Alternatively, if there was some channel status on a text parameter to know if it was updated, that would be useful as well.

I did read through Gustav's thread about string functions here: String functions / Software / IQAN

Doesn't seem there has been much advancement on this topic and those string functions wouldn't accomplish what I am looking to do.

It would be very nice to be able to open/import TXT files (inverse operation of IQANdesign.exe ProjectFile.idax -saveas ProjectFile.txt).

This would multitudes of options for code maintenance, quality control, and version management that don't exist in the current panacean GUI-as-IDE paradigm.

Hello,

It would be extremely beneficial to have GitHub "capabilities" with design files for version control. Great example would be to link IQAN with COPIA.

Cheers  

Just an idea: It would be helpful for me if iQanDesign could generate a QRcode with information about the system on a display page which a user can scan with his phone and email/app this information. All information that is important (serial number, software version, date of system, etc.) can be send in one message (information for the code must be selectable  by the programmer). Also for documenting/testing could this be useful.

Request to add new line feature (\n or _ notation used in QCode would work) for IMSGs and CMSGs.

Hi There

Is it possible to add a Look Up Table to Adjust Items? Or Adust Groups?  I want to edit the table with IQANrun in real time and see response etc. 

If this is not possible, it should be added to the ideas list please.

Many thanks

Julian

Would be great if the DM1 messages from the "DM1 out" also sends Occurrence Count.

As it is now it always sends 127 which makes the DM1 messages in IQAN Connect portal not work as desired.

We are working on a project which includes machine vision. In order to communicate between TPU and MD4 we are limited by MD4 to CAN bus only. Are there any plans of expanding C3 and/or C4 communication capabilities?

Using 6.06 I have that when I try to enter a PIN Code the machine masks the number selected with astrisck. Is there anyway to change this so the number is not masked?

Some people have shaky fingers and they have difficulty entering the correct code number.

Is there any way of recalling fault/warning messages via VDIN without a need of restarting the system?
