Working with three buttons to change state
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

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

MC43 pinout documentation
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.

IQANscript, can't set backup folder
In IQANdesign it is possible to change the backup folder so the backup files are all stored in one folder.
This is, what I can see, not implemented in IQANscript.
Would be great if this feature were implemented in IQANscript as well.

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

Machine ID and IP address (static modules)
Is there any way to label the list of static IP addresses with a user defined machine ID rather than the IP address?
When I enter an IP address (e.g. 10.1.1.1 ) into the static modules list, it's machine ID is listed as the 10.1.1.1. But is there a way for me to change that to e.g. MACHINE 101? So I don't have to refer to a separate list I have created which translates the IP address to a machine ID that I am familiar with?

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?
