i have an initialization function group that can change the baud rate, but i need to manually turn the iqan MD4 on and off for it to take effect. is there a way to do a soft reset through iqan design? 

Hello!

I would like to program the following in IQANdesign but seems to be difficult (or I am just rusty, been years that I needed to program anything other than Python :D) without a "for" or "while" loop:

when I push the increase button, it will increment by X%

when I keep holding the increase button for Y ms then it will increase Z%

when I push the decrease button, it will decrement by A%

when I keep holding the decrease button for B ms then it will decrease C%

I would like to keep it in Qcode, but maybe it would be better to use channels?

Best regards,

Sander

Hello,

I am using IQANdesign 6.08.25.8210. 

I am programing a MC43FS.

The data sheet lists the following frequencies for the COUT.

PWM frequency, FDITH (Hz) 71, 77, 83, 90, 100, 111, 125, 167, 200, 250, 333, 500

The data sheet and version Publ no MSG17-8413-IB/UK Edition 2022-11-16

IQANdesign allows me to enter an integer value range of 71-500.

I connected an oscilloscope in parallel with a coil to see what the outputs of the various inputs would be.

Please see the results below.

Inputs seem to round up to the next listed frequency.

Exceptions:

                   143 is not a listed frequency.

                    Input of 143 does not output 143. The output jumps to 167.

                    Input of 167 does not output 167. The output jumps to 200.

I did not test every value. Other exceptions might exist.

I cannot find any documentation that explains what inputs result in what outputs. 

I hope this helps the IQAN team.

We are re-visiting a project based on the version above with an MD3. We have later versions of 2.x but I don't want to update the firmware, can anyone provide me with a link to download this version of IQAN design please? The earliest version I can find available to download is 2.63.

Hello,

The architecture of our company's vehicle was made by another group originally. That group made some function groups and then locked them. To unlock them, usually, you right click on said function group and use the unlock tab. However, it does not appear like we can access that function as seen in the screenshot attached.

Is there a way to unlock a function group or gain access to the unlock function?

Hi guys. Do we have ways to show output information for users in MD4-10? For example Logs, warnings, cautions etc from the machine. Do we have only System dialog? As below:

Maybe someone have some examples how to work with it? Becuase I could add only simple text with text formatter.
Don't we have any another tool for output information? Like text view in Android..

Thanks for any advice!

I would like to reduce my cycle time if possible, though once cycle utilization gets above approx. 55%, display pages take longer to load and logic that requires precise calculation order starts to have issues. From what I can tell you should be able to safely run up to 80% utilization without issue. Any suggestions or fixes would be appreciated.

I have 3 buttons to change condition of the boat: 1 2 3. So when I press one button then it should be disable to press it again but I can press two another buttons to change the state.. What is the best way to do it, guys?

For example these 3 buttons

What is the best way to change value of channel by pressing two buttons? For example change backlight value by pressing "+" and "-" buttons..

On page 38 in the instruction book it lists the following outputs for pin C2:50

OUT_36a

DOUT-F (HS)

DOUT-Y, -Z, -AA, -AB (HS)*

On the next page it lists the following outputs for pin C2:70

OUT_36b

DOUT-F (HS)

DOUT-W (HS)*

DOUT-X (HS)*

Can this be correct? I thought if DOUT-Z is on OUT_36a it must also be on OUT_36b

Another question is: How can I get the printout of pin assignments from IQANdesign to use pins C2:69-72 ?

For example if I am using DOUT-Y, DOUT-Z and DOUT-AA I like to move some of them to OUT_36b instead of OUT_36a and have this reflected in the exported documentation.
