Copy Paste Variant Options
Ive been experimenting with variants to make code reusable between different systems. It would save a lot of time if I could copy and paste options as well as whole option groups.

Delay for Analog Signal
Is there a way to delay an alalog signal?
I've tried Math Channel, Qcode, Slope/Filter Channel...

Menu navigation
I'm coming back to using IQAN Design after a long period of no exposure to it. Currently I'm trying to implement a menu navigation system using external buttons (digital inputs).
The menus can be thought of as being in a circle - as the 'right' button is pressed the screens navigate around the circle to the 'right', wrapping around from the 'last' screen back to the first in the circle - same when going left. I implemented this a long time ago on another project but for the life of me I can't remember how I did it.
I've tried using Event Counters, and Integer math, but I can't get the logic to wrap bi-directionally. The Integer function isn't retaining the counter values, and the Event Counters can only reset in one direction, if that makes sense. I know this should be easy, but my lack of recent experience isn't helping! Can someone suggest a way of implementing this?
NB - I usually use QCode

Communication impossible between Iquan MD4 and Iquan Design.
Unable to establish a connection between the screen and multiple computers equipped with the Iquandesign software (with an active license).
Upon startup, the screen displays a "safemode" message (software version: 4.07.7.1413).
Tests performed: installation of different drivers, firewall deactivation, scanning of various IP addresses (none seem to correspond to the Iquan). Packet exchange is visible on the Ethernet port, but nothing more. I am unable to identify the IP address corresponding to the screen.

Communicate with another smart device through Ethernet?
Hi there,
Sorry if this has been answered before:
Is it possible to program IQAN to communicate with a different smart device through customized protocol on top of TCP or UDP? Over ethernet or WiFi?
Thanks,

IQANdesign 6.01 files opening in 6.08
I'm having some issues with IQAN project files created and saved in IQANdesign 6.01.6 launching in IQANdesign 6.08.30 when trying to open the file by double-clicking. Yes, 6.08 warns you that the file will be updated to a new version, and I can still open the file in 6.01.6 if I first launch IQANdesign 6.01.6 and then go file->open, but that's not the most convenient and you need to know which version of IQANdesign the project was saved in beforehand.
Is there any way to make sure the projects saved in 6.01 will open in IQANdesign 6.01 by default even with later versions of IQANdesign 6.xx installed on the computer?

Out of Memory
I'm having an issue with IQAN Design 6.08 consistently crashing with an out of memory error. I am not trying to send a program or anything. It does this when adding/changing channels, editing user interface, ect.

Keeping track of max time of activity per hour
I have a task to keep track of the time a machine runs at an increased speed which is allowed 5 min/hour in total. Time at overspeed is added to a counter but I also need to handle the fact that overspeed that happened an hour ago needs to be subtracted. Has anyone had a task like that and found out a good solution?

Latching with delay on time
test.idax I am running into an issue with an IDC channel that seems odd. Using IQANdesign 7.02 The activating object is a DIN and I have the delay on time for the idc set to 2000 ms. I cycle the DIN on and back off well before 2000 ms, so the IDC should not see the DIN true for 2000 ms. After I cycle the DIN on and back off the IDC latches true after 2000 ms. I would expect that since the DIN is not true for 2000 ms, it should not latch true, but it does. Is it operating as intended or is there something I am missing? (test.idax is attached which is the example I am seeing this in.)

How can we assign items to adjust groups if they're imported as an external function in an IQAN Design program?
I'm new to IQAN and while copying an existing Function group in the application logic section I came accross the fact that all links are now broken (Which makes sense). Is there:
1. An easier fix to align i/o mapping and logic connections apart from manually doing it for everywhere the links broken in the program (like a list for I/O)? In my case I have product 1 and product 2 that I need to configure to 2 pages on a HMI screen and then copy the screen to another one available elsewhere.
2. A series for IQAN design that explains how the copy of a function group can easily be configured?
3. And How can we assign items to adjust groups if they're part of an imported external function in an IQAN Design program?
