New connection type: IQANconnect

A new way to connect remotely via Internet where you pay per connection. The IQANconnect service is available for beta testing, more information will follow.

Component navigator

The component navigator from IQANdesign is now available also in IQANrun. Use Ctrl-J for quick access.

Compatibility

IQANrun 4.00 is fully compatible with version 3. It can be used for all operations such as adjust or accessing logs in version 3 system. IQAN Active Studio version 4 includes the IQANrun 2 setup file for use with older systems, and IQANrun 4 will give the option to automatically launch version 2 if connected to a system running that version.

When calibrating the minimum and maximum settings of proportional solenoids, the millivolt (mV) value shown in the reference items may occasionally freeze, resulting in a misleading reading. I’ve found that exiting and then re-entering the adjust group refreshes the reference value and resolves the issue.

I wonder sometimes how long a download will take and the progress bar can sometimes be a bit misleading.

Can we have the total kb to be sent displayed alongside the kb already sent? This will make it easier to judge how much longer it will take. When downloading through Bluetooth it would be nice to know if it was likely to be one hour or five! This image is in Run, but maybe could be ported across to Design as well?

When using IQAN Run 7 with saved .irmx files, I can't use the right-click menu for anything: saving, auto scaling, or commenting.  Is there a reason these feature would be locked out?

When a saved file is opened in IQAN Run 7.04 I can not open the "hamburger menu" button. So I am not able to save or scale values or copy any values. Could this be a bug in the SW or anything to do with my laptop?

Noticed a few times our screen appears to crash out when attempting to connect using IQAN Run via G12 modem. Its not reliably repeatable. Below image is shown on the screen when it crashes out. We have noticed we are using Run version 7.03, could this be why? There does not seem to be any errors when attempting to connect, most of the time it seems to work fine. System has MD5-8 with MC43FS and G12.

IQAN Design 7.04.8.10088

IQAN Run 7.03.30.7315

could we get a csv files for all parameters?  I would like this as an output so we can quickly check with software that all parameters are correct. a quick check in the field before techs leave a site !

I am circling back with this subject ! Even with IQANGO and IQANRUN, I am not confident I will not crash when remoting in for an upgrade. Out of 4 field upgrades, I have had 2 failed attempts. That's not a great record. 1 of those attempts when i started over actually recovered.  WE NEED A SECURE WAY OF UPDATING MACHINES. I would love to send a dongle that plugs into a USB port. We have over 65 machines in the field , it is cost prohibitive to go out into the field and update. Please , Please, Please think of a way to do this !  down load the entire program first, checksum it with a hash function, then install. Something. 

Thanks

Greetings All,

I would like better control of parameters in parameter file, please!

When I have a new machine and want to put parameter file on an old machine, the parameter file will overwrite everything.

There are a lot of calibrations and things like memory channels  i don't want over written.

What next? I download a clone, then save this as a project with current values as default, then send project to old machine, the defaults will be placed in areas that do not have values (new parameters). ALMOST there. The problem is if we have changed default values in program to make machine better, they will not replace old machines values.  So there is no great way of updating older machines and keeping some values protected.    I would recommend  the the parameter program have ability not to program certain parameter values like calibration and memory values, also have the ability to over write parameter values in older program where values have changed. And finally some way to compare variables easily. It isn't that easy at the moment. We need to compare a parameter file with a clone file. Then get out of program and on a machine to change them. I would like to change all the variables at my desk, blocking and forcing values too. This is not easy to explain to tech out in the field what exactly is going on with variable.  If you could allow us to have access to the variable files in a non-binary way. a text output and text input, I could write this software quickly. Right now I have to cringe when I need to have techs go into iqango or iqanrun to fix multiple variables.  It also can cause issues with flaky machine control. Thanks
