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.

So if the MD5 states it does not have internal termination, I can not set termination in IQAN design. Does this also mean that using a ID tag with (T) such as 20085140 (0T) will not terminate the bus? 

Controller: IQAN-MC43, Connector C1, Pin 12 (IN_34, pull-up type frequency input)

Issue: I'm feeding a 200 Hz, ~60% duty cycle open-collector signal into pin 12, using the module's internal pull-up (per manual: 1.5 kΩ to internal 5V, 10 nF) with no external resistor. Instead of a clean square wave, the signal reads as a sawtooth that never reaches 0V - high sits around 4.6V, low only drops to ~4.3V.

I've confirmed pin 12 floats at 4.6V unloaded, and leakage from my circuit is negligible. Tried several pull-up configurations externally; sink current into the pin stays very low (~0.2-0.5 mA) regardless.

Questions:

1. Is 1.5 kΩ/10 nF correct for this input type?

2. What sink current is needed to reliably trigger a logic-low on this pin?

3. Any recommended interfacing for low-current-sinking sources on these inputs?

Thanks for any guidance.

Would there be a way to isolate a bidirectional current out so that our negative signal will not trigger an open load fault when not connected?

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.
