With existing functionality, the Diagnostics CAN bus is fixed to 250 kbps. 

To support faster software updates via CAN and larger multi-master systems, we are working on making the diagnostics bus speed configurable in IQANdesign. The configurable speeds we are looking at are:

-250 kbps classic CAN 

-500 kbps classic CAN 

-CAN FD with 500/2000 kbps

All master modules will be able to support 250 and 500 kbps.

Systems consisting of MD5 and MC4x will also support CAN FD.

Does somebody knows if it is possible to change the colour of for  example a bar graph by a variable.
Now yo have to choose a fixed colour.

I want to change the colour if the input value is above a adjustable setpoint.

The way program it now is to have two bar graph with different colours, and use the visible input to select the color.

Maybe a idea for a next release???

I think it would be a good idea if there were three modes of operation for the run mode button.  The first is the current mode where the animations of the gauges and lamps occurs.  The second would be an off position where all lamp controls show the on image, all gauges move to the max position, and all bar/arc controls move to the max position.  And last would be an off position where all lamps controls show the off image, all gauges move to the min position, and all bar/arc controls move to the min position.

This would be useful for verifying the layout of the display interface without having to invoke the simulation step. 

Also, it would be useful if IQANdesign could remember the visibility setting in the project.  If i toggle the visibility off for a layer, group or control and save the project, IQANdesign will remember that setting until i change it.  Function in the simulator and on the hardware could remain unchanged.

This would be helpful so that controls that are positioned on top of each other didnt need to be toggled visible / invisible every time a project is opened.

It would be really helpful to be able to add a help text to adjust items.

This would ensure technicians/users have relevant instructions about what they are adjusting on screen.

The items with help text could show in a pop-up like when editing text parameters or in fullscreen like when adjusting input channels.

Would it be possible to implement free Comment Fields on the System layout page, the same way as it is implemented on the FG pages

Would be nice if you could use an integer parameter to set the window size of
a moving average.

We work with NMEA 2000 devices and have had a great deal of issues with the dynamic Source Address nature of the standard. On startup the devices will jockey for Source Addresses and, depending on what's powered on or connected at the time, the Source Address scheme will be different.

We've made due so far with GFINs and using an ajust parameter for the Source Address to build the Identifier, but this requires one of two things to reconnect to a module: 1) blindly cycle through addresses until we find the right one, 2) connect a CAN analyzer to the bus and find the right address. Also, GFINs don't allow for the "Don't Care" option for priority that JFINs offer, which has also been a problem with manufacturers using different default values.

What I'm proposing is kind of the best of both worlds, where we can have the Identifier flexibility of the GFIN, but with the wildcard capability of the JFIN. That, or native NMEA 2000 support...

It is now possible to purchase licenses also for the developer tools IQANdesign and  IQANscript on

IQAN store.

Previously it was only possible to get the licenses for  IQANrun and IQANconnect via the store, the licenses for the developer tools were ordered in the same way as hardware and shipped in boxes.

Since version 5, the tools IQANsimulate and IQANanalyze are free.

The PC tools that require licenses are:

• IQANdesign
• IQANscript
• IQANrun

We are also rolling out a new IQANdesign upgrade subscription, to help drive the development of new and improved functionality for IQAN software. For more details, see the new IQAN software updates and licensing FAQ. 

The IQAN store also introduces a feature for retrieval of licenses bought via the store, and a way of updating existing licenses via the store.

Any plans for the addition of Atan2 function? 

Did you expect to implement in the future the option to allow multiple text line in the button?

Actually, we can only have 1 line. In my understanding, I'm unable to do this.

Could be useful to minimize the space used when more text is required.

Thanks!
