Better text formatting

David Dahlgren 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated by toby 2 years ago 1

I wish it was easier to handle Text formatting. 

Text parameter channel (TP) do not have channels as inputs, which makes it difficult. For example if I want to display a numerical value if the sensor is connected and "not connected" if it is not connected, this is impossible (atleast I can't find out how to do it).

Is there a reason for this. I want to display text or a value or a text, I have to hide the one not shown.

I'm missing the Bluetooth option.

I have uninstalled and re-installed with the same results. What else can I try?

Answer

The Bluetooth functionality requires Windows 10 with build number 15063 or newer to be enabled.

VDIN behaviour

andyr 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 2

anyone seen this?

I have a weird situation on an MD4 whereby a VDIN button programmed as a momentary button is latching on?

The visibility and enable for the button are both controlled from an IDC channel in turn enabled when a VIN input measuring a position with a tight +/- tolerance added is in tolerance. If the input goes outside the tolerance the VDIN should go invisible and be disabled. There is the possibility the user positions the associated drive to a position just inside the tolerance band and then with a little noise/flicker on the input signal it is possible for the VDIN to effectively be switched on and off rapidly- if it gets into this situation, it seems to latch on- the button itself seems to be off (no yellow background as seen when pushed normally) but in iqan design it is definitely on. Pressing the button makes no difference either way- it remains 'on' The only way to reset it is via a hard reset (power recycle). This is obviously unacceptable and potentially not good.

i have no idea if this is firmware related or what but am interested if others have seen similar and what can be the cause

thanks

Diagnostics Bus Shared

Why do I get a project check warning about this? I do have G11 and a GT module on the same diagnostics bus but why is this a problem?

Dynamic Channel Names

Chris Litwin 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated 2 years ago 2

Is it possible to add the ability to define channel names dynamically with text parameters? It's nice to have one IQAN application that controls multiple configurations of the same machine. I know we could generically name the channels, but it really helps the serviceability to title the channels based on function or component.

Image size

Tim M 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated 2 years ago 2

When adding a J1939 image from the library in the latest version of IQANdesign, it no longer allows you to customize the image size.  It adds the images as 50x50, which is much larger than I want.

J1939 DBC importation: multiplexor issue

Richard Gagnardot 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 9

Hello, 

I have imported a J1939 message with a multiplexor starting on bit 13. I was used to have 1  message by multiplexor value (in my previous importations)  but I only have 1 message with the data of the last multiplexor value. Nevertheless, the Multiplexor seems to be detected:

J1939 import: DP bit of PGN

Richard Gagnardot 2 years ago in IQANdesign updated 2 years ago 2

Hello, 

Yesterday, I tried to import a J1939 dbc but I had an issue. I have 2 IDs,  CEFD1EF and DEFD1EF, with the PGN EF00 and 1EF00. When I try to import these 2 messages, I get a random result: I sometimes obtain 2 messages with the data mixed on eachother, or 1 message with the data of the 2 messages, and the PGN read by Iqan Design is always EF00 (61184). 

The work around I found is to import the messages with PGN 1EF00 and change the PGN imported from 61184 to 126720, then import the message with PGN EF00.

I concluded that the DP bit is not read or not correctly imported. In your opinion, is that an importation bug or a bad DBC configuration?
