I would like to be able to insert a parameter into the column of a lookup table. Is there a work around?

We have a machine with remote control that we need to be able to cycle ECU power to clear active DTCs, while keeping our IQAN control system powered on, using a digital output with relay to control how long the power is disconnected from the ECU (essentially acting as a keyswitch).

After a 10 second power cycle to our engine ECU (John Deere) to clear active DTCs being broadcast on the DM1 channel, and allow for engine rolldown if it's running, the DM1 channel goes back to 0, indicating no active DTCs, yet the MDGN Red Stop Lamp channel is true (see image). As I understand it, the lamp status is part of the DM1 message. So if there is no DM1 message being broadcast, how is the value of this Module Diagnostic Channel still reading true???

Is the MDGN lamp status not read from the DM1 message? How is the MDGN Red Stop Lamp status read? Why does the amber warning lamp not come back on if the red stop lamp does?

The engine still starts and runs, which it would not do if there were an actual Red Stop Lamp event occurring.

When cycling power to the ECU and the MD4 at the same time, the red stop lamp does not come back on and all active DTCs are cleared

I really like the addition of the lamp flashing option, it would be very useful for Tier IV engine applications, but this MDGN is just not acting how I expected it to.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Has anyone come across this error in IQANRun?

uniCAN.dll reloaded ok. ERR_DLL_NOT_INITIALIZED

At this time I don't have any more info than that, but I can try to get the IQAN version, possibly the device they're connecting to, and the device they're using to connect.

Any ideas?

I have an MD4-7 application with a gauge inside a group. It does not matter if there are other things inside the group or just the gauge.

As soon as the MD4 boots it will stop at the boot logo, the rest of the GUI will not load.

Also it is not possible to send a new application while the logo is displayed unless you first "Start measurement".

Simulator crashes also with error 80000003

I will send in a bug report from the simulator aswell.

Hello,

Is there a way to get each external function as an "idex file" from a MC43(FS)? It would be nice to implement this capability if it doesn't exist.

Consider a project with five files (mainlogic.idax, joystick.idex, steering.idex, powertrain.idex, and transmission.idex);

"Get Project" only return mainlogic.idax with missing external file warnings.   

See below for some contextual information.

1. From IQANdesign 6.06, I executed "Get Project" on a legacy MC43(FS). When I opened the retrieved project, the warning "Missing External Files" was displayed. From the project manager (on the left), if I click "External Functions," metadata such as Name, Order, Status, File version, Description,  and file paths of each external function is displayed. However, the individual files cannot be found. 

2. From the application logic, I can browse to each external function instance, but the background is grayed out. 

I am in a situation where the original design is only on a legacy MC43(FS).How can I extract these external functions in their original format?  I would like to reuse them in other projects. Any suggestions or work around will be greatly appreciated. 

Regards,

Emerson 

This seems very far-fetched, but I have to ask the question as we have a customer and one of our own service personnel telling us this. The machine in question works for a bit, then may sit for weeks. The RTC is not wired directly to the battery, but rather on the machine side of the battery disconnect. When the machine sits for a long period, the RTC is lost. The issue is that we have a COUT (on an XA2) that is inoperable on startup and the 'Date and Time not set' message appears on the screen. After the date and time are set, the COUT becomes operable. I don't see how these two things could be related, but they are insistent. Anyone else seen something like this?

Hello, I would like to keep a Symbol Butoon Control switch on when I push on it twice.
My problem is on the second push. At this time the button switch off and I want to keep it switch on.
The reset is done by a push on a second button. Thanks.

Hello,

I am trying to use the PCM module from Parker with a MD4-10 display to control EP2 hydraulic pumps.

But when I look up the J1939 CAN-messages I do not understand how I need to fill in the page number of the signals?

Is there any example for the use of the PCM module with the IQAN Design software ( I use the IQAN design 5.04) 

Thanks in advance

Does anyone have a generic url to listen to an rtsp stream? I have a Churchill/Shotover DVR that outputs an RTSP stream. 
I am able into input the IP address and connect with the DVR stream with VLC but can’t get anywhere on the MD4. 

I have had success with an acts camera when using their url etc. this brand doesn’t specify a URL and thought there might be something generic I could try. 

I was messing around with external buttons and button controls. I'm experiencing odd behavior in 6.06 and 5.08. Version 6.06 is skipping button controls when you use the up and down so you can't select everything. It also is selecting controls that are not setup in the list of button controls. In version 5.08 the up and down are working in the opposite direction. I based the two files off of another I found in the forum.
