Is there a way to do a mass export of all screens in IQANsimulate?  Investigating for our technical publications team who want to save time documenting programs.

I have encountered a weird occurrence when doing simulations with MD3 on IQANdesign 5.03.

It appears that especially "LAMP" images or text does not does not (always) load when switching between display pages. BUT the images/text are actually loaded but not visible and will only appear once I have minimized the IQANsimulate window and restore it again, then all the graphics appear and react as it should... Until I go to another display page again and have to minimize and restore the window again to see the actual result.

Has anyone else encountered this before? I have not yet noticed this behavior using the MD4 displays. 

This is kind of interfering with my debugging progress (trying to fix things that is not broken).

I haven't tested to see if this occurs on the actual hardware yet, but I am sure this problem is limited to the simulation only.

We have an application that was developed in IQANdesign 5.03.11.5029 but when we try to run the simulation we have the following error displayed and the MD4-10 is blank;

The system has approximately 8 arrays each sized for 2000 samples... if we reduce the sample side of each to < 950 samples, the simulation will run normally?!  Has anyone else experienced this? 

I upgraded to Iqansimulate 4.07.6.3943 and it does not pick up the license.  when I run from Iqandesign it will not simulate properly as it says it is running an evaulation license.  Same license runnign Iqansimulate 3 and Iqansimulate 5.02 work fine.

Is this a bug with iqanSmulate 4.07?  Do I have to reinstall Iqan Creative Studios 4?

The Last time I used IQAN Simulate 4.xx I had multiple monitors connected to my laptop via a docking station. now that I am using the laptop independently in the field the IQAN Simulate window is only partially showing far off to the right of my screen. I cant seem to correct this. when i click on the Upper bar of the window i get an error sound bit but no visible message. I imagine if I had my multiple monitors connected I would be able to move things around. any ideas? 

Hello,

Is there supposed to be any consistency between the two options 'New Simulation' vs 'Last Used Simulation'? These are from the prompt given when starting a simulation of a project from IQANdesign.

I would like 'New Simulation' to start fresh and forget any information entered during previous simulation sessions, and I would think that 'Last Used Simulation' would do the opposite of that.

No matter which option I choose it seems completely random what will happen. Usually it remembers the previous session data, which is frustrating. I never directly save simulations, but I believe the autosave feature is what is doing this.

I have been able to observe this behaviour with both IQANsimulate 4.07 and IQANsimulate 5.

Is this feature broken or is it intended to do this?

Thank you.

Hello,

I think it would be convenient to be able to grab a printout of what is on the simulated screen in a PNG or JPEG format. For documentation purposes primarily.

Right now Windows' Snipping Tool works but it's a very slow process and you have to be very precise. It also is impossible to get each screenshot to be the same size as the display's (MD4 in my case) screen.

Thank you.

I just downloaded IQAN Design 5.01 and now I am having issues with
Public channels not showing up in Simulator Mode.  I did not have this
issue in version 5.0.  Any suggestions?

EDIT MODE


 SIMULATE MODE

I have a design involving MD4 and MC2 multimaster setup in a Generic CANbus. MC2 feeding values to MD4 via CAN. When I run the simulation of the design the values do not seem to pass on to MD4 display. I have double checked the CAN frame address and field definitions and they are ok.

However, if I create a Simulation group for MD4 and get the channel updated directly from MC2, then I can see the value changing. But I'd guess this bypasses CAN messaging completely and uses Simulator's own message passing mechanisms.

Is Generic CAN messaging simulation something that is not supported? Or am I doing some fundamental mistake here?

It would be really nice to be able to use the FGI channel to change the underlying value of the referenced channel when simulating. Otherwise it appears that it is required to navigate to and from different function groups in order to change the value and subsequently see the results of the change. If there is another method, please advise. Thanks
