Wondering if there is a method of displaying PDFs on an MD5-5.  Currently in the process of migrating our OEM application over to the MD5-5 platform from an MD4-5 and found that when pressing on the text control buttons to display pdfs the MD5 System Message popup indicates PDF viewer not available.

Is there any intention of being able to convert text project files into Standard Project files? Or even better opening from a text file.

Saving a project file as a text file allows for revision control and diffs. Also this could allow for LLM assisted coding and troubleshooting.  

Hi,

I'm currently migrating a fairly large program from older IQAN hardware to the current.

The workspace for large programs is awful to use; can we get some kind of update to make this less frustrating?

I have multiple large function groups (30+ inputs) and there is no way to lay them out that makes it easy to read.

And can we also get some more tools other than comments to organize the software?

With all the FS changes and multi master systems likely becoming more common can we get some tools to help manage multi master systems?

It would be good if I could reference MCXX unit states and display them on my MD5 HMI and have it auto populate.

Thanks,

An XC43 sent a COUT error to the MD4 display, which is the master module in the CAN bus network. However, the error was not logged in the MD4 log. Any idea why this might be happening?

Hi,

I want to create an External Function that will contain a JFIN. 
When I will import the External Function, I would like to be able to vary the PGN property of the JFIN.
At the moment, it seems that the PGN property of the JFIN can only accept integer number, it cannot accept an integer coming from a channel.
If I insert the External Function in my project, I will not be able to change the PGN property of the JFIN because it will be locked. And I do not want to change it to the same PGN value for all the occurences of the External Function.
I would like the PGN to be a FGI to the External Function.

My use case is that I want to control Hawe PSx CAN valves where they have a different PGN for each valve section. It would be neatly integrated inside an External Function so I could reuse it for all the different valve sections I have in my project.

Any workaround?

Thank you and have a good day!

Hi,

I would like to ask about the best way to update a program on a machine that already has an existing IQAN application installed, especially in cases where some parameters have been modified from their default values.

If we upload a new program with the same project ID:

• Will it overwrite the existing settings (i.e., reset parameters to default)?
• Or will the current parameter values be preserved?

I want to make sure we avoid unintentionally resetting user-defined or tuned parameters during an update.

Thanks in advance!

I am having an issue with a dual display setup that has multiple cameras.   The cameras we are using supports 5 streams.  
If both displays have the feed going, and one display is turned off or looses power, the stream on the other display goes down, and the only way to bring it back online is to power up the other display or cycle power on the ethernet switch. 

Is this normal behavior.  if so is there any way to see the camera status for the display, so after x amount of time, of not having a camera feed, I could reset power to the switch to resolve this issue? 

I am trying to setup some cameras that have ISO 17215 abilities, but I can not get them to show up on the display.   
I can assign the mac to a camera, but that is about all.   
I can not find any documents on how to setup 17215 cameras, and when I tried to wire shark a SV camera, I could not see any of the ISO messages. 

I am able to stream the cameras over RSTP so I know the camera and streams are working. 

These are the settings in the camera, and the IP is set to DHCP,  can anyone confirm this is correct? 

Iqan design and run 7.05 is not available for download on the Iqan store. This is our last version available with our license. Is there a reason it is not available?

Is there any reason when you use  a RTSP camera, and make the camera picture smaller then the stream it just crops the stream, instead of resizing it to fit inside the window?    

I ask, because when you view streams on a PC, you are able to scale up or down the video to what ever size you want.  Yes it will effect quality I know that.   But it would be nice to get the image to fit inside your display page perfectly without loosing any of the FOV.
