gauge label size

MScottM 1 year ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 0

It would be nice to be able to select from a range of label sizes on the gauges - similar to 'tiny, small, medium', etc for the regular label sizes.  When I have to make a gauge small in size the default text can overlap, causing me to hide the default labels and make separate smaller labels at each marker tick.  

Hope that makes sense.

Download soft with IQANDesign is closing the measure opened in IQANRun

D CBN 1 year ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 2

I open a measure with IQANRun 6.0 for study my waves, and do some modifications if necessary in IQANDesign 7.0 as following

Image 4827

The IQANDesign shall be able to disconnect only if IQAN Run is connected in order to download software. not closing my opened measure in IQAN Run.

It is very unconfortable to reopen measure again, and redo few operations in order to retrieve my selected signals, etc..

Finite State Machine does'nt store value

The store value of finite state machine object is not working in a specific way :
- store value is Yes

- function containing the finite state machine can be disable : in my case, it is disable at startup during at least 1500 ms.

But in this specific way, the memorized object works fine !

Noticed the coloured progress bar on sending from Design 7.04.8 appears to be 100% complete but graphically just over halfway:

Not a major problem, just reporting visual bug!

Finite State Machine Improvement Ideas

John Andruch 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Thomas Moberg (System support) 1 year ago 3

I love the Finite State Machine. Great to see such an excellent feature added to the program after being away from IQAN for 11 years.

That being said, here are two possible improvements for the Finite State Machine:

1. The addition of Delay on to the arrows.

Justification: I find myself adding alot of internal digital channels outside of the Finite State Machine that are looking for the machine to be in a specific state number so long before turning true. Adding this and possibly the Delay off would make the code in the Finite State Machine more readable and explainable.

2. The addition of being able to set a debug on a state in the Finite State Machine:

     Justification: The states can zoom through things so quickly that the only way to trap a bug would be to set a trigger to hold the Finite State Machine in that state. The alternative is to add all the exterior channels that contribute to the logic in a measure group and then work on analyzing what happens.

     Implementation: The ability to set a debug flag on that state. Then as that state is about to be exited because an exiting arrow has turned true, the state would be held. The debug flag wouldn't persist between power cycles of the evaluating master module and debug flags cannot be communicated when sending a project. I know that this could be a touchy subject for IQAN because nothing else in the program allows you to pause the execution of blocks in real time. But I would like to make the argument that Finite State Machines tend to be used for supervisory or sequencing logic of actions on machines and staying in one of these states as long as the underlying safety checks are being performed in conventional channel blocks, this wouldn't pose a risk to life or machine.

GPIN Startup value

D CBN 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 6

GPIN Startup value can be not null and/or incoherence value for a boolean as following : we save in memory the 100st values of one object in array, and we can see at first cycle, a value of <3> for a boolean !

Installing IQAN Design 7 software issues

Jeff huntington 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Torbjörn Andreasson (Product manager) 2 years ago 2

Having issues installing IQANdesign 7 software. When our local IT admins are installing this software, it is not actually installing it on the C drive. Is there a way to change the install location? 

Answer

IQANdesign have a command line argument to be used by administrators if they want to install it somewhere that differs from the default installation path. Installing in the default path doesn't require administrator privileges.

Default path:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\IQANdesign <version>

Change path:

/DIR="x:\dirname"
Overrides the default installation directory name. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.

What's the realistic master module limit?

Kevin 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 3

We are planning a project with 6 x MD5 displays and 6 x MC43FS modules, is there a limit that the diagnostic bus and master bus will take before it overloads? These modules are connected all together for both diagnostic and master bus. Conscious of initial start-up bursts and also general running bandwidth consumption.
