List of elements or table etc

Dmitriy Stupak 3 years ago in IQANdesign 0

I have some warnings that I should show to user when I receive them. Is there a way to scroll any list ot another way with list of elements? If I receive, for example, 10 elements but I can show only 5 on the screen. Especially when I have different types of messages: warnings, causion, notifications...

Should I only add some hidden elements and show them in time? But it will be strange way... Especially when I have many different elements 

Thanks for any advices!

Eye friendly active state tab

Richard 3 years ago in IQANdesign 0

Easy one this, when you are doing a large state machine after a while the state you are on becomes a little hazy, perhaps instead or as well as a lightly raised tab, a color code might make it easier on the eyes? So instead of:-

we could have something like: -

Just a thought.

Handling Dynamic Length Text Parameters in the middle of a PGN (64582)

705David 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 5

I'm working with a TPMS System and there is a PGN 64582 (0xFC46) which has SPNs in order:

a = Number of Tire Sensors

b = Tire Sensor Tire Number

c = Tire Sensor Location

d = Tire Sensor Identification Number (ASCII with * delimiter)

The Digital Annex says d mentioned above is variable length from 0 to 200 bytes followed by "*" delimiter.

The SPNs are received in order a,b,c,d,b,c,d,b,c,d,...etc (to the number of tires on the machine).

I have attempted to set up the JFIN using JPINs for everything but the Sensor Identification Number, which I use a TPIN with a delimiter of 42 (ASCII *)

The first set of a,b,c,d SPNs I know the bit offset for because a,b,c are fixed length. After the first TPIN, the data no longer lines up with my bit offsets and I can't set the bit offsets of the JFINs to Dynamic.

Is there a way to set up the Bit Offsets to account for a variable length text parameter in the middle of the SPNs?

Thanks,

Image in comment box

Richard Gagnardot 3 years ago in IQANdesign 0

Hello, 


Since we have been using iqan design for a few years, some colleagues and I think that it would be really useful to be able to add images to illustrate / describe a part of the code in some cases.
These images could be reduced to a few kb automatically so as not to take up too much space in an application.
Is this a feature that would be feasible?

Thank you

Unable to assign 29 bit CAN ID to GFOUT

Mark Bevington 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 1

I don't understand what is going on in v6.08 IQANdesign.  I can no longer assign a 29 bit CAN ID to a GFOUT.  When it's first assigned everything seems okay, but as soon as you run Project Check, it then flags the ID as "Value not within limits".

NOTE:  The ID I am attempting to use IS WITHIN LIMITS as it is less than 536,870,911 (0x1FFFFFFF) as detailed in the text explanation box.  Did v6.08 break this ability????  See below:

Convert individual bytes to 32 bit float

Brandon Klos 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by David Kessler 3 years ago 2 1 duplicate

Hello,

I am working with a device that sends multiple frames using the same message ID. Often times there is a parameter that contains data from two different frames, for instance, Parameter "X" (32 bit float pt) data can be found in Byte 6 & Byte 7 of Frame 01 and Byte 1 & Byte 2 in Frame 02. I'm able to use the paged/mask filter successfully to capture the multiple frames but am stuck with how to take the individual bytes and convert them to 32 bit float. I've noticed a Generic Parameter In Channel handles it automatically when assigned "real" and is pointing to the 4 Bytes but this only works when the data (4 bytes) are packed into the same frame, not spread across two different frames. Thank you!

MD4-7 Dialog Box : ReActivation and Scroll ?

Julian Robinson 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated 3 years ago 2

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone can help me with a feature I really think is important:

I use 2x MD4-7 displays (and 3x MC43's) in a Multi Masters system

What I want is to recall the Dialogue Box or Conditional Message for all active "System", "Engine DM01" or "CMSG" generated errors/faults/messages etc, with a single button - any active fault message that would appear within the dialogue box on the screen.

Then I want to scroll through these messages without accepting them/cancelling them with the cross on the (RHS Top) box with a forward, backwards button etc, before eventually cancelling the on screen dialogue box all together (with or without accepting the faults). This I feel is a really important feature. People want to know all the active faults/message of the entire system, but without them disappearing altogether from the screen before the information is understood.

There is a timer to re activate the dialogue box, but this is really not a good option. I need a recall on demand, not a timer.

I see this on other engine displays (Murphy etc). So far I cant figure this out, so of anyone knows how to do this it would be great!

Otherwise, this is a really good feature to add to new feature request list please?

Thanks!

Adjust parameter is disabled in MD4 when out of range

toby 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Lars Bolduc 3 years ago 3

So we are running into an issue where we have an integer adjust parameter that had a range of 0-400 and we decided to change the range to 0-60, but if we update systems that have a value set greater than 60 then the adjustment slider in the MD4 is disabled and you cannot set the value, without going through the IQAN go app to force the parameter into the range. Is there a way to either have it set the parameter to either the max value or to the default value during an update? Preferably it would just keep the value and allow you to update using the slider, jumping into the new range. Thanks

Include unit in DBC export

Christopher Fridstaden 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated 2 years ago 6

Hi!

I've stumbled upon something that maybe you guys could clarify or just acknowledge:

I exported a Generic Frame(GFIN) with associated Generic Parameters(GPINs) to a DBC-file but the units for the parameters don't get exported. Everything else works just fine!

I selected the GFIN in the Function Group and then clicked "File" -> "Export" -> "Export CAN database..." and saved the file but upon opening it the units for the parameters are nowhere to be seen.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

I am using IQANdesign 6.07.8.7990.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Christopher Fridstaden

SV Camera Power Cycle

Lars Bolduc 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Pierre Fagrell 3 years ago 3

Hello,

I have an SV Camera and an MD4-7 on separate power supplies.
They're communicating over a wireless link.

If I power up the SV Camera before I power up the MD4, it never links up. Always shows 'No Contact' for the camera.

Is there a way to avoid Power Cycling the camera?

I could see a static IP avoiding the need for the DHCP process, but I don't believe you can configure the SV Camera to have a static IP.
