Hello,

I am having issues with having a font appear properly.

When I use the Orbitron font it doesn't render properly.

The font is from the Parker Lift MD4-7 HighTech theme.  

What is strange to me, is that when I open the example file,Parker Lift MD4-7 HighTech theme,  the font renders properly, but when I add that font to a new project it does not render properly.

I have downloaded and installed the font from Google Fonts.

Any insight on why this could be happening is appreciated.

I'm using version Design 6.08.32.8219 and Simulate 6.08.22.6333

I'm getting this error when downloading to MD5:

Trying to download software using NI 8473 but seems to error before even establishing connection with the display. I noticed the MD5 does not have built in resistor and I have not installed one as yet, could this affect the download from PC?

I want to be able to use 'constants' in my IQAN read from a file, for example perhaps using the same control system across multiple vehicles but having some vehicles with a lost maximum speed. One way I would use in other systems is a vehicle configuration file to rad the values from. 

I saw the 'variant option selector' which sounded like it might be part way there but it complains it wants n option group and I have no idea how that works never mind if it is the right thing to use

How do I capture messages in IQANdesign 6 (I can update if required for feature) with the same PGN? I have multiple pumps on one CAN network that feature J1939 style addressing, and each of these pumps has an identical status message in the .dbc file with the exception of their source address - the messages are PDU1 J1939 PGN. I have unsuccessfully tried importing these messages using CAN Generic Frame, but it seems IQANDesign overrides this and reads it as a J1939 Frame In and looks at PGN instead of extended CANID. How can I collect the information for each of these pumps separately in IQANDesign?

For reference, CAN IDs in HEX: 

Pump 1 address = 0x18FF2301x

Pump 2 address = 0x18FF2302x

where PGN is FF23 on both pumps.

Hello,

Is there way to disable DM1 Out on bootup for a period of time while everything starts? Same way logs can be disabled.

Thank you,

Gord

I did NOT design the messages required for this system so please dont blame me or tell me I need to change them, this is not in my control.

But the requirement is for TSC1 to go to destination 10 AND destination 90.  I cant have 2 messages with the same  PGN it complains, I cant see how to specify two destination addresses for one message. I am aware of 'broadcast' but do not believe at the moment the two components will pick up the broadcast rather than looking specifically for their own address. 

Does anyone have a clue how I can solve this issue?

I have an application that has a seat switch timer. When the seat switch sees a negative flank and stays false for 8s, I would like the shutdown the engine. I have the shutdown JFIN configured but I am not sure how to go about sending a message to the engine to command it to shutdown.

As the question asks

When I create an output j1939 parameter I am offered 1, 2, 4 bits, 1 byte (8) and 2bytes(16).

The parameter I am asked to output is 3 bits (there is a 3 bit input version of it and I am just trying to gateway it through) but I cant set the output parameter as 3 bits, I get an error

The j1939 message/frame I need to create has a counter/checksum in it. 

Now I can calculate the checksum using the constituent values of the frame (e.g. byte 1 is a 4 bit control type and a 4 bit mode), but I would rather use the bytes of the finished message so the checksum can be done more 'generically' without caring what is in those bytes. 

So assume the output j1939 is called Fred maybe there is something like Fred.byte(1) or similar I can use in the maths, I cant see it but maybe someone knows of something I missed. 

Then I would like the function (calcChecksum) to be available to ALL frames (Fred, Bob, Delilah...) without being rewritten - also dont really see how that can be done but at the moment until Fred.byte(1) etc. is sorted it doesnt matter.

In order to meet CE with my system I have to power up different modules for different operations, this also involves switching between two e-stop switches. I perform that operation with a basic rocker switch. Because of the rocker switch operation, at times there is a VERY brief interruption in power to my main master module (MC43). Normally this doesn't affect the machine but every once in a while I get a no contact on that module. The only way around that is to have my main module set to "Optional" which I would rather not do. Can a timeout be implemented for master modules? I just need it to ignore 1 or 2 cycles during that switch.
