A string text is an array of characters.
Why it is actually impossible to cast a string text into array object (equivalent to memcpy function in C Language) ?

It will be a revolution to have this in next release of IQAN Design:

-> From array object, we can have a way to convert S/N text into integer..

-> From others subjects, they can compare text strings, etc..

Feature highlights

Apply login to IQANdesign

Login previously defined for IQANrun/IQANgo users is now required also for IQANdesign. This modified functionality is applicable to projects where an access level is defined on any of the properties: 

• Update project 
• Remote access
• Send settings (IQANdesign clear settings)

IQANdesign will give a warning if an access level is not defined for Update project. 

Support for MC4x/XC4x-M24 

Support for new hardware versions of

• MC4x-M24, 
• MC4xFS-M24 and
• XC4x-M24.

Applications updated to 7.03 will run on both original and -M24 versions of MC4/MC4xFS hardware.

XC4x Firmware is updated to 2.02, this version supports both original and -M24 version of the XC4x expansions.

More updates and details, see  Release notes - IQANdesign 7

IQANrun updates

• Improved keyboard navigation and shortcuts
• Right click popup menu added to graph
• New command line arguments

See Release notes - IQANrun 7

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?
