J1939 Source Address Claim
How does a master module using the J1939 "Address Claim" property respond to a request for address claimed message (PGN 59904) from an outside controller? Does the outside controller need to be built into the application? Will the IQAN controller respond to the broadcast request and a controller specific request?
I have a 3rd party system that is unknown at design time that requires address claim messages.

training course for beginners
I started looking into the Parker IQAN as I am developing an engineering solution with parker motors and inverters. I was looking around to find a good step by step training course for the IQANdesign, IQANrun and IQANsimulate, however the videos are not organised and not targeted for beginners. I have noticed there were training courses in previous years, and I was wondering if there will re-considering the training courses? Otherwise, please advise how to learn for beginners.
Thank you

minimum and Recommended PC capabilities for Design
Hi Support staff
Most software apps that can stress a PC have a minimum and a recommended PC capability list. I went looking to understand what that is for Design but couldn't find one. Is there one published? For example if I have a requirement to remotely run design on an industrial fanless PC what are the requirements?
I ask in that unlike standard new PC's which contain only the latest or perhaps latest minus 1 generation CPU new industrial PCs that contain 5th Generation (and intel has released 13th recently I think) i7's are still available...as are the boilers that provide the steam....... My desktop which runs design fine is 7th gen, but has good SSD and no mechanical drives so slowness in cpu isn't generally noticeable.....
Anyway, I could simply go latest and greatest but it might not exactly be needed so keen to see if you publish a min/recommended list of capabilities. Technically I need an answer, if there is one, for design, simulate and analyse

Using Measure more effectively
When evaluating how software is working using Design and its Measure capability if you have a complex piece of QCode it would be nice if you could hover or click the mouse over a variable or a function in the Qcode and get some indication of what it currently evaluates to. To do that now I have to duplicate the channels and add a result:= whatever I'm looking for at the time in the code after removing the original Result:=, so I can understand what the value is, in the duplicate channel at that point in the code.
The way I think it works at the moment is that Qcode lines that are conditional only show values when the total condition is true, yet a multiple condition line might have 5 true things and one false thing and your not sure which of the 6 are false and as such why the condition overall is false.... Similarly if the condition is a logical or and as such which exact condition has triggered the overall true state..
I think what is there now in design/measure is good, but it could be better...hopefully it isn't hard to improve on?

TPDO1 that begins with 0x4?
I'm having issues communicating with an CAN Open input module, TPDO1 states the COB ID has to start with 0x4? See below image.
When I insert this into IQAN I get this error:
What am I doing wrong?

Description preview when hovering over objects in an object list.
Would be nice to see an objects description already when hovering over it in an object list, similar to what happens when hovering over a channel.

How to link a screen button to logic in MC controller?
Is there a way to link a screen button to logic located in the MC? Example, I am trying to integrate a "manual mode" in my program. I want to be able to press a button on the screen to enable/disable manual mode. Once manual mode is enabled, you can manually change the current value being sent to a motor.

IQANdesign hangs when sending application via bluetooth if Component Navigator is open
If I have the component navigator open and try to send application via bluetooth a problem happens when IQAN wants to show "Project check"
Three dialog boxes are all open att the same time, but they are all behind the main window unable to be interacted with:
*Component Navigator
*Project warnings
*Open session
What I see on the screen is this window:
No matter how much I click or use alt tab, X in the corner etc I cannot close it.
If however I point to the icon in the task bar I am able to see the three dialog boxes stuck behind like this:
It is not possible to click these dialogs, as soon as I move the mouse pointer they are hidden behind the main window again.

Adjusting parameter values from third party device
Is there a way to use a non IQAN display to adjust a state parameter, function parameter, integer parameter and digital parameter? I am looking to use a Parker PHD display in a system and use IQAN masters to handle the logic. I would like to be able to use touch buttons on the PHD display to change each of the parameter types listed above.
Can this be done? The communication between the IQAN master and PHD will be over J1939.

IQAN Design upgrade
I want to update my iQAN Design 5.03 to latest one. I have one time purchase license and I am not ready for yearly subscription. Which version I can update to from 5.03?
