Would MD4 display scroll option be possible in future?

Text array with free index and text import possibility

DRG01 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 4

Idea:

To have an text array channel with a free index and the possibility to fill the array with importing 2 colums from exel.

Example to use: 

DM1 from engine.........you get many different SPN numbers, SAE-defined, but also proprietary SPNs.

If you have determined the SPN numbers from the actual errors, you would like to show the error text on the display.

Beside DM1, it could be very helpful for DM2..........

Now I have the SPN numbers.

For every SPN number, I use a IMAC to create an index from 0 - max.

I use the value from the IMAC as mode selector in a State Parameter.

To show only 8 random SPN error texts, it takes about 2.5 msec..........this is not the main problem.

The Design editor is now very slow: I need to show at least 24 SPN error values.

State Machine Channel and TP

Pawel Pekala 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 2


Hello,

Would it be possible in future IQAN 6 releases to expand capabilities of TP such that we could tie in MAC or sensor values directly into text parameter itself?  Please see attached picture.

We could then take this TP and have it displayed. It would be even better if text colors would change based on SMC in this case Smart Cylinder Sensor SMC

License renewal update

Jean-Marc Zanni 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 3

Just coming up on the one year for my Iqan Design license and got a reminder message.  Went and paid for renewal.  Received new license number instead of just extending existing.  But i cannot find tools in Iqan design to update the License number... Do i Have to uninstall then re-install the license.  Seems cumbersome and does not match what is in the FAQ Section:" 5. What is IQANdesign update subscription?
IQANdesign update subscription gives you bug fixes and new features for one year at a lower cost. Even major updates are included. When you purchase a new IQANdesign license, you will get the first update subscription for free. A year after the purchase you will receive an offer to extend your subscription for another year. It is also possible to enable auto-renewal of the subscription in the IQAN store."

Do not seem to find an Auto renewal option.

Not a bug

Public scope channel in external function

Rick 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 1

Not sure if this is exactly a bug, but it is annoying nonetheless.

In IQAN Design 5.03 or prior, it was possible to make Global Scope Variables inside Library blocks. So made a whole bunch of libraries, using that feature. Works all fine, until IQAN 5.04 or 6+, where these Global Scope variables cannot be accessed anymore.

We  "fixed" this for some machines by changing the libraries, turning global scope vars into Function Group outputs and doing some re-wiring of the blocks. But many of the older software versions didn't have this change.

Now as long as you open these older versions with IQAN 5.03, everything is ok. But open them with 5.04 or newer (accidentally), and the file is basically broken once it is saved.

Can Global Scope Variables inside Libraries return in newer versions of IQAN 5 or 6?

PWM output resolution

Rick 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 1

What is the min/max resolution for PWM outputs? We have an output with its min and max set to 13 and 22%, which is, I think, quite narrow. Making the max 1% higher makes a big difference already - does it help to provide floating-point numbers (ie, max := 22,3 %) or will these numbers get rounded internally?

Same question for the actual output. Does 13..22% mean the output will only have 9 steps? Or could it deliver an output of, let's say 16,35 %?


For the info, we are using a MC43 "single pin" output, C1:47, on a 125 Hz frequency.

Change J1939 Transmit Speeds By Math Channel

Carl 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 2

Hi Guys,

Since in J1939, Transmits speeds of CAN messages can very, i.e. 1 second transmit rate, changing to 100ms on function, at present, only a set figure can be put in to the transmission speed.

If this could also be available to look at a math channel, then thing like DUELs could be used to change the speed.

IQANdesign slow

Andy Pauly 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 15

Hello

I am working with IQANdesign5.04  and IQANdesign6.00. I have a new computer with the hardware of

Intel Core i7-8565U CPU 1.80 GHz  RAM 32GB 64Bit System Windows 10. The latest Hardware and Software update are done 

and IQAN is very slow on large application file (27.323KB).  

It take 1 Minute and 18 Seconds to open parallel to IQANdesign also the Simulator and during this boot up time the CPU is used  by only 27% and Memory only 27% and graphicCPU by 6% during this boot up time . 

Image 1712

  

The computer is for 1-2 Minutes out of order by copying a state machine with 60stages. Afterwards it takes almost 5-15 second for any change inside the stage machine. I can only work on the IQAN application software without losing my patient by safing and open the software again. Only then the software is fast again. Here the CPU is only between 12-18%; memory by 14-21%. What can I do that IQAN uses the full potential of the available hardware?

Regards

Incrementing a math channel

J C. Crow 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated 6 years ago 1

How do I increment a value  by a fixed amount when a condition is true? I do not want it to increment again until the condition is false then turns true again. 


I am trying to set a requested engine speed using a MACI channel. When I bump the throttle switch for less than 350 ms, I want to increase the channel by a 25 RPM increment. It seems that the simulation is adding 25 RPM to the channel on every cycle. I am getting several increments of 25 on each bump instead of 1 25 increment increase. 

If I hold the throttle input for more than 350 ms, I want to add 50 RPM every 250 ms to control to the throttle rate. I was trying to using a timer channel to increment the value by a fixed amount every 250 ms, but it seems this is happening faster than it should also.

Why Doesn't MD4 Support 1000kbps CAN?

Nithin V 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 7

Why is the 1000kbps setting not available in IQANdesign for MD4-7 display modules? Is this a limitation of the hardware? Most modern CAN transceivers and controllers should support this baudrate, so I am confused why it is not available.
