When the display is booting with large font's like Chinese or Japanese the display shows a black screen for 10 too 30 sec

 (as already discussed in a previous post https://forum.iqan.se/communities/1/topics/902-start-up-md4-and-showing-start-display-with-delay-when-language-is-japanese )

Is it possible to extend the startup screen or some indication that the display is booting so that the operator does not see a total black screen and thinks it is broken.

I have a question about the length of J1939 PGN 65251.Scan_15_0061_001.pdf

In Iqan the standard data length is 8 bite but the length of PGN 65251 is 39 bite. also some other PGN's have more then 8 bite.

I want to use SPN 544 engine reference torque. but i can't due to limitation or the data length.

Not sure how possible this would be, but I have a few programs that only use Generic CAN networks (no J1939), and it would be really nice if there was a way to get the G11 to function off of one of them, as I don't have another CAN port to add the G11 to. 

It would be nice to compare  only function groups or only particular channels. Both within the application or in different applications. I have some channels  with a lot of  Qcode instructions. They should behave equal, but they does not. Is it possible to do such a comparison in latest version ? 

Hello,

I know there's a wide list of possible array improvements out there, but I would like to post my main concerns. (I think none of them are already supported).

Array easy static initialization 

In case of having to work with large arrays, plain initialization line by line is tedious (I use excel or some external editor to write the lines, and then copy&paste them to IQAN). 

array_name[0] := 0xA0

array_name[1] := 0xA5

...

array_name[1200] := 0x00

Apart, when there's such big amount of lines, it really slows down the IDE when oppening and scrolling this channel.

I don't really know if this kind of initialization, with constant numbers, is somehow optimized, or it is executed every cycle. I haven't really tested %cycle, but I use to do something like:

static init:=TRUE

IF( init ) THEN

array_name[0] := 0xA0

...

array_name[1200] := 0x00

init := FALSE

ENDIF

Just in case.

So, a major improvement would be to have an easier method of static initialization. 

Perhaps, a C-like way: array_name := [0xA0, ... , 0x00]. 

Or, from an csv o txt, just like LUT.

A minor and faster update, would be adding the "static" keyword to arrays, in order to perform a real one-time initialization, while maintaining the classic array filling method.

So, the following piece of code at the very beginning:

static array_name[0] := 0xA0

...

static array_name[1200] := 0x00

Would mean it is an initialization, and not a cycle by cycle assignment.

Array Function Selector

Not meant to multiply array size (array values should be shared and preserved between states, if not overwriten), but to perform different operations or asigments depending on the state variable, just like in any other channel. At the moment I must use uglier methods, whereas a function selector would make it much more elegant.

Loops in QCode. 

At least, just inside array's QCode. This has already been asked before in other posts. Really simple algorithims became overkill in IQAN due to lack of Loops.

Thanks!

When using a channel reference in a TFC channel, it would be nice if the 'Show' drop-down would include 'Value and Unit'.  Right now they are separate, so if you want to show the value and the unit, you have to add another text element.

Hi,

On the IQAN MC4x modules it is possible to pair outputs to supply higher amperage.

In IQAN Design in the List view in the System layout, it is only the OUT_XXa that is visually occupied.

It would be nice if there were a option to visually occupy both OUT_XX a and b.

The problem is that i save the lists to pdf and use them to communicate the I/O information with our recourse's for making the electrical diagram. As it is now its easy to make a mistake when using paired outputs. OUT_XX b is not occupied in the list, meaning it wont make it in to the electrical diagram if one forgets that it should be a paired output.

I would like the ability to have a value and event log which can only be viewed or cleared with root access, but will be saved into a clone when the clone is taken by a service tech with only service access. This way a service technician can download a clone in the field and send it to me and I will be able to access a higher level of logs than they could see. 

I have tried linking the "visible" parameter to an IDC that is true only with root access and leaving "enabled" as yes, and every combination of view and clear access levels but have not been able to get what I want. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hello,

I need to print few stored data of customers from MD3 display like,

1. Customer Name

2. Vehicle ID

3. etc.,

via thermal printer.

The printer available in markets are bluetooth / USB enabled. I use G11 Bluetooth dongle connected with MD3. 

Can someone help me in interfacing the bluetooth printer with MD3 via G11 bluetooth dongle / USB.

Also, Please provide support for me in understanding the program modifications required for same.

Hello.
we have an application with 3 different pin codes for operator, service and technical department. We want to know if is possible that the message requiering pin code explains wich pin is needed. Something like "USER PIN CODE", "SERVICE PIN CODE". Service and technical pin code varies, so if for any reason operator needs service pin, we can send him, but it is only valid for a period of time. We need to know that the operator is on the correct page (not trying to use service pin when themachine requires the technical's department pin)
