Mode selector for "Text Formatting Channel"

ksilovich 11 years ago in IQANdesign updated 11 years ago 2

It would be nice to be able to assign a State machine or parameter to a "Text Formatting Channel".

I have a situation where I have "Group A", 10 Text Parameters with with a state machine (10 states) assigned to it. And a "Group B" of 15 Text Parameters with a 15 state machine. I would like to use a Single Text formatting channel to Add Group A to B for certain situation.

Trying to display the text on the screen currently is painful.


Also on a separate note it would also be nice to be able to use a Text Formatting Channel in a Text Parameter.

application input output vs j1939 input output for master modules

Zach 11 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 5
I wondered about application inputs and outputs vs j1939 inputs and outputs for master module communication.
If I understood it correctly, an MC2 master received a digital value from an MD4 master module via an application in/out pair.
Then in another location in the program, the MD3 and MD4 exchanged information through J1939 pgns.

How do I know when to use Application in/out or J1939 in/out?

360° Rotation of Gauges

John Wambold 11 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 7 years ago 7

I have an application where I am using a gauge to display the position of a rotating object. I make the 12 o'clock position the 0° point. I noticed that as my input is rotating from clockwise, that the needle on the gauge rotates counter clockwise from 359° back to 0°.


It would be nice to have the gauge continue to rotate in a clockwise direction as my input crosses the 0° threshold.

Downgrade/upgrade of IQAN firmware on devices.

Jorge 2 minutes ago in IQANdesign 0

I know this has probably been asked multiple times over the years, but we really need to have the possibility to downgrade and upgrade devices freely between versions.

With the recent changes on new MD5 HMI screens being shipped with 7.06 firmware from factory, i am now left with a big problem in having two different versions of multiple projects for vehicles currently in production. Which is, putting it mildly, an inconvenience, specially if i ever have to do maintenance on them or have the need for whatever reason to update the project.

I don't want to ask for the possibility to downgrade from the 7.06 firmware to older versions, since the time and money you would spend on developing it is probably not worth the effort. But i would like to humbly ask that moving forward, please, allow the possibility to downgrade and upgrade firmware versions freely from 7.06 onwards on all parker devices.

Thank you.

Full on Firmware Update occurred repeatedly on IQAN 7.02

Matthew Truong 4 days ago in IQANdesign updated by Kevin 4 days ago 1

I've been experiencing a situation where I'm remotely sending an update to a machine's existing idax, updating say some input range differences, what I've noticed is that its consistently perform a full-on firmware update despite being no version change between uploads, resulting an upload process that should be 5-10mins to now 40-60mins give or take.

I've tried to figure out why remotely sending the project is triggering the firmware update but I'm not able to discern anything concrete as nothing critically different is occurring between the two iterations.

How to use PCC (PIN) to make display pages accessible or hidden

Mark Bevington 2 weeks ago in IQANdesign updated 2 weeks ago 5

Hi,

I have a app (IQAN 6.08.32) which has a a VDIN button that is supposed to make the PIN dialog popup, and if successful (valid PIN is entered) then make certain display pages accessible to a user depending on their access level.   It has worked up until now when I had to make logic changes as the PIN channel was being reset preventing the ability to make adjustments using IQANrun.  This in turn has broken the apps display page navigation.

I have tried several things and none seem to work.  Now, since the change detailed above, when the Service Menu button is depressed, shown below in first screensnip, the app just switches to the Primary - Service Page, screensnip #2,  even though it is not supposed to show unless the PCC channel is TRUE. I have checked it and it is FALSE.   It seems like one can not control whether a display page is shown using a PCC (PIN), even though I have the Show control for that page set to use the PIN .   Has anyone been successful  in doing this, or is this a bug?

CAN-FD paged protocol

lbartik 3 weeks ago in IQANdesign 0

I'm interfacing a MD5 with a 2Mbit/s automotive sensor that transmits 64 byte frames on a single CAN ID in 20 frame bursts every 50ms.  I am missing 19 of the 20 frames every application cycle since the CAN RX message buffer is only one frame deep.


The messages are unique and sequenced with an integer counter similar to a paged protocol.   The counter and other possible pagination triggers are at the end of this 64 byte payload though.  Is there any way to set page mask/filters to look beyond the 8 byte legacy CAN limit?
