We have many machines running a range of firmware versions, we need to ensure we prepare program updates containing the same firmware as already exists on the machine, purely due too the bad experiences when updating firmware remotely.

I assumed IQANLauncher would open the correct version of IQANDesign (If the application version is installed) when a program is double clicked, but we have found this not always the case.
There doesnt seem to be any documentation on this program that I can find, can we get info on its intended purpose and use.

If you store an integer composed of 8 or more digits, in many cases the stored value does not match the expected reference value. The discrepancy typically occurs in the least significant digits, which may be incorrectly stored or retrieved. However, the issue does not appear when the least significant digit is 0, in which case the value is handled correctly.

Would be nice to have a property value for rotation of text channels, specifically label controls. With multi-language support, it makes more sense to write the text vertically then horizontal. Current workaround for this is using embedded text in an image file. This can be a pain point however if the text needs to be updated in the future with having to create new image files. 

IQAN design 4 had the feature of being able to right mouse click scroll to zoom in/out on the Qcode. This feature has disappeared with IQAN design 6 and 7. Was this an intentional deprecation?

Having the zoom feature on the channels is nice, but I do miss the Qcode zoom. Also running into an issue with using a laptop and additional monitors where it seems the resolution from the laptop is being applied to the Qcode on the additional monitor.  Additional monitor has higher resolution so my Qcode appears very small and I can't zoom in on it.
If I close the laptop and only use the additional monitors and open Design. The Qcode appears larger and this resolution is maintained when I open the laptop.

A string is an array.

My goal is to compute the project version (SIC) into an array.
Then i can compute from array the integer math value.

Actually, i'm just blocked to cast the Project Version (SIC) into an array. How do ?

Hello,

I am currently using IQANdesign 6.08. The system I am working on is a multi-master system, and I am sending information over CAN E (J1939) to a third-party PLC.

I am using CAN routing to add certain frames from other modules onto CAN E. When I create a DBC file for this bus, none of the CAN routing frames are included in the DBC file. Can you advise if there is a way to include these frames?

Thank you,

Jordan

I am experiencing a problem when a IQANDesign 7.02 application file will be opened with IQANDesign 7.05.25.10808 :

All page Dialog Position Width and Height have a Value not within limits error, I think the proporty valid range is to low (200-0)

Can this be changed or is it a bug ?

Updated versions of IQANdesign, IQANrun and IQANgo 7.05 are now available. 

Main feature update

IQANdesign display page conversion

IQANdesign 7.05.25 introduces a display page conversion feature. 

It is now possible to drag and drop display pages between modules of different size, with the option to scale the pages to fit the new size. 

Example of conversion from MD4-7 to MD5-8

When scaling, display controls are resized and repositioned to fit the new size. SVG images are scaled automatically. 

This version also has a feature for bulk export and replacement of images, making it easy to work with external tools to also rescale any PNG, BMP and JPEG images used on display pages. 

A full guide which also includes a method for image scaling can be found here

Display migration / Knowledge base / IQAN

This IQANdesign update is limited to the PC-tool, all included master module firmware remains on the original 7.05.19 version. 

Bug fixes

G12 firmware update

IQAN-G12 FW is updated to 2.01.8, solving a problem the previous version had that prevented connection to systems with older versions where the G12 wasn't enabled in the application. 

IQANdesign, IQANrun and IQANgo includes this new FW and can be used to update G12 firmware in the field.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the iqan design 2.63 software download? I've been sent an .ida file and cannot open it in the more current versions. I went to the software downloads website and was unable to find any links or forum posts that were related to this. Thanks for your help ahead of time!

We have had multiple issues using ratiometric sensors that end up sending voltages below the 0.5 threshold. If the input drops to 0.250 then the system throws a VIN low error. The error value only exists for an instant. The sensor output is jumpy. I wish we could add some averaging, signal stabilization or add a delay on the error to filter out these events. Or maybe we could define the low error value instead of using the minimum/2. 

In retrospect, it realize I could have set the range to 0 V and extrapolated the value of the output to keep the calibration the same, but I cannot do this on an existing program because the min and max outputs are not part of the calibration.
