Is there a way to create a Screen Saver on a display module (MD4 or MD5) ideally enable SS after xx minutes of inactivity and disable SS with a touch of the screen?

It would be nice if when parameters that are brought into the application from the built in J1939 database had their default property value set to 'Yes' for J1939 error check. All the J1939 database parameters are set to 'No' by default and need to be manually changed. If we were to manually drop a parameter using the orange 'Add' button, that default value is set to 'Yes' already.

Hello .  when I import a DBC file , it show this error, could you pls help me with it ?thank you ! 

We need a multimaster system that has (1 x MC43 and 1 x MD5) and (1 x MC43 & MD5) that exchange app in / out data when diagnostic and master bus is connected but continue to function with their own program using local IO when the systems are disconnected from each other. Each separate system has 1 x MC43 and 1 x MD5 display for viewing information inside the MC43. See system below showing the disconnection between the two separate systems:

The separate systems need to talk to each other using appin and appout, but still run separate control programs when disconnected.

Below is an extract from the IQAN user manual:

In this instance, I make the non headmaster optional in the settings so when the optional modules become disconnected from the headmaster, i get no errors in the headmaster and the headmaster. The headmaster continues to run its own application in a valid system state. 

In the optional module, when it disconnects from the headmaster, because the headmaster is not optional, will I get errors appear in system logs in addition to appin / appout for the timeout? I'm concerned it will log can bus module error state, the customer may be confused by these faults if it does this. Also this application will continue to run with its own local IO and control I have built into the application, so effectively becomes a standalone system that continues to run its logic even though its lost contact with the headmaster?

Any advice how I can handle the bus termination, as when we switch systems in and out, the bus configuration will change and we will loose termination at different points. Without the option to switch termination on and off unless the software is reloaded, I am unable to control this unless i switch relays on and off bringing in resistors at certain points on the bus. Maybe its easier to set up two separate applications that communicate when connected, can this be done with appin and appout in different application files?

hello guy, 
i am finding it difficult to program the can j1939 on the mc2/xa2 system. 
i want to expose some of the output of the mc2/xa2 on the canbus (j1939) in order to pick it up by another (external) module for data acquisition purposes.  I am having issue with the jfout module -  it seems i ve configured it right but i can see the module in red and is returning module not assigned error. 
I need help to get past this stage. 

There is definitely a repeatable problem with 7.05.  I have loaded 3 different programs with no changes other than updating to 7.05 from 7.04 and they all stopped after loading the two MD4's when it tried to load the first MC43 (we have two MD4's and 3 MC43's in all these machines).  Disconnected and no replay from the MC43.  I tried both IqanDesign 7.05 and IqanRun 7.05 with the same results.

I would like to show a countdown timer in an IMSG

I have a timer value via a Text Formatting Channel into the Text field of the IMSG

When running the program the value of the Text formatting channel can be seen to count down with the timer,

But the value displayed in the IMSG is only the initial value of the timer, the value does not change at all.

Can an IMSG display a changing value? If so how

Hi,

We have an application which can be used on 2 different type of machines. Application logic is the same on both types of machine but the display orientation need to be in portrait mode on one type of machine and in landscape mode on another type of machine. We want to avoid having 2 versions of the same program with only difference being the display orientation in landscape or portrait mode. As you can imagine this will create software maintenance nightmare in future. Is there a way to work around this problem?

Thanks

Hello,

We wrote the functions in a controller. Does the order on the left have any significance? Does the software run in the first order?

I'm transferring information shown on the module page (all the IO) to a 2D cad program so I can draw electrical schematics simultaneously. This involves selecting an input / output in IQAN design and also hovering over it to gather information such as pin number and DIN-AC details etc. If we have scrolled down the page to get to the selected input/output to select and I move onto the cad program on a different monitor on the PC, clicking back into IQAN design window to view the next IO, it always returns to the top.

Its a bit frustrating as I then have to find where I left off, and adds some time to the task I'm carrying out. Its mainly because I loose a visual of the input I was on. 

Can it remain in the same scroll position as it was when I left the window? I'm not closing IQAN design and re-opening, its still open and visible on a separate second display.
