i have some scenarios where the operator has to be able to drive a few functions manually by holding down gui buttons. 

We experience that after pressing and holding a gui button down between 5-10 seconds it becomes false, even though we are still pressing it. 

This is not true for our external control or the simulator, only on the physical MD4 touch screen. 

is there a pre-set time for how long a touch-button can be kept pressed?

i've got a few "hold"-buttons (not toggle) that is pressed to run a certain function on our machines. 

this button(s) is locked in its current state if it is pressed, using external controls, while a message appears.

the intent of having to hold the button to run a function is that it has to be quick and easy to stop the function, by letting go of the button. But if the user gets a message while holding the button it will keep the function on until the message is closed and the button is pressed and released a second time.. see example below.

Is there a way to use MD4-7 in Potrait Mode?

The MD4-7 will be installed in Potrait Mode on my machine.

The default startup image in IQAN MD4-7 is a Parker Image.

Is there any way to change that? I want the MD4-7 to display a different image (my company's logo) when it boots up.

Because we ship our machines all over the world, we have to deal with a lot of units of the sensors, for example pressure in bar kPa MPa and PSI. To show the correct value the number of decimals are depending of the used unit. for bar I don't use a decimal and for MPa I use one decimal.

Is it possible to make the number of decimals depending of a channel?

Has anyone else noticed that since 5.01 upgrade, the time to save the design file is much longer.  I commonly get a "(Not Responding)" for a period of time in the window header.  Just curious to know if it may be something other than the upgrade.

Is VNC Client supported by IQAN 4 ?

i just upgraded to IQAN 5.01 and got the "refers to itself" error on one of my state parameters. 

i am refering a Text parameter into the "text" field of the states in the state parameter, 

The text parameter is using the state parameter as mode selector. 

is this bad practice or a bug in the update? 

i've done this to be able to display an editable name of my state parameter when using the state picker in the gui.

Hi,

I noticed that when copying SPNs to a new project or external FG the name is copied but you loose all translations

It would be nice to have all the information included.
