Not sure how to put the correct term to this request, but to explain what I basically want to do is use VDIN buttons as EVENT COUNTER triggers. But when holding the button down for say a second then it must start triggering the event counter continuously in quick successions of say 100ms.

There must be a simple way to do this?

i'm using the "visible" slot alot in my display pages on MD4 to conditionally hide and show values/controls alot. 

When hiding a value channel, on startup, and then unhide it when for example i press a VDIN the value will not unhide until i press the button the second time. 

in the simulator everything works as expected. the value gets visable the first time i press the VDIN, but on the acctual hardware i need to press it twice.. 

Anyone seen this before? is it a calculation order thing? when do the screen refresh? can i force a "redraw" of the screen? 

and the odd thing is that it is only true for the absolute first time after boot, later on all works in the current display page..

Maybe I am missing something very simple, but I am struggling to understand how to receive an analog input on a XC23 connected to a MD4, convert it to a CAN parameter (generic or J1939), insert this CAN parameter into a CAN frame and output it on the bus with the MD4 module. Everything is straight forward until having to assign the JFOUT or GFOUT to a module. The system seems to not allow me to assign the JFOUT or GFOUT to the MD4 module. Do I need to create another device on the Generic or J1939 bus and assign this output frame to that device? This is some what confusing to me as this seems really like a virtual module, as I would anticipate that the MD4 is really the device sending the message. If I have to create another module on the J1939 bus to assign this JFOUT to does it have to be a different J1939 source address than the MD4 module? Another question, if the MD4 is connected to two J1939 buses can it not use different source addresses on each bus? Please help. 

Hi,

Is there any way to read the error status of MC4x? I believe when error occurred a system message would show up. But is there any channel can be used to identify what error detected?

For example, how do I retrieve the error on DOUT HS+LS?

Hi,

In the MD4x instruction book, it says VIN can be used combined with CIN as safety function.

If the sensor normal output ranged from 0.5v-4.5v, what would be extra safety measure by adding the CIN as the ground of sensor? If the signal abnormal, it would be out of the range. Is the extra CIN doing the same thing?

The J1939 speed cannot be adjusted in the adjust group of the IQAN system.  The only way to change the speed is to adjust the drop down menu in IQANdesign and resend the application.

Currently, i have to keep 2 versions of our software current with this selection in the 2 different states.  

If it was adjustable on the machine, we could use 1 program and have our technicians select the speed of the unit they are connecting to.  Something similar to using an FP with a step size of 250, min value of 250 and max value of 500.

Does anyone have a complete program written for the IQAN J-1939 Universal Tilt Sensor?  It seems pretty straightforward, but I'd appreciate the time savings if someone already has this in an importable file.  I was hoping this would be in the "Solutions Library", but no such luck.

Is there a way to either pass a DM1 message through appin/appout or have multi masters looking at the same DM1 messages from an engine. I have multiple masters and screens for an industrial app. 

Can someone post an example of a decent size array so I can dissect it a bit. I'm struggling on some of the syntax of it. 

Hello all,

I received a project that I need to revise. This project contains many translations (in software and display). The default langauge is set to Dutch however. I would like to use English in the software. Is there a way to change the default language, without losing the translations?

Thanks in advance
