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.

Hello

It is possible to measure a frequency with a md4 ?

Thank

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.

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?

Does the MC42 perform an active LS diagnostic on PWM HS+LS outputs during startup, even when the application function group is disabled? We receive a Critical Overload on C1:39 with a SPAL ABL321P PWM output. Delaying the physical connection of the PWM wire until after startup completely eliminates the fault.

According to the manual, Appendix B (page 122) states that the check for an HS or LS short to the battery during startup has no contact? Or am I misunderstanding this?
Yet it does happen....

I've liked how pressing the Menu Button while in the Menu will open option menus in the Measure groups and such, and that a long press of the menu button will close the menu entirely, and was wondering if it would be at all possible to separate those two commands? As currently I am unable to create any sort of hotkey, such as a button that takes you to the home screen from wherever you may be, without losing the ability to open the raw vs scaled value option in the measure groups

We are having issues with the canbus as we have unusual routing.

We are connecting MC43 to (2) XC22 with correct terminations. The 250kb default is working for most of our products out in the field but some are marginal. The only real way for us to fix the problem given hardware LOCK is to lower the speed to 125kb. BUT there is no option for speed changing.  Would it be possible ???
