Sometimes, if the Component Navigator is open on the secondary screen, when opening the Calculation Order this new dialog window will be without any buttons. Resizing the window does not help.

Even if I close calculation order window and reopen it ten times it still does not have any buttons.

However, if I close and reopen the Component Navigator, then the next time Calculation Order will have buttons again.

I ran into a issue where I was unable to drag functional parameters from the programming area into an adjust group. I figured out if I open the adjust items I could then drag from there. this was just never an issue before.

I quite often use the sliders on my screens for a pump volume control. I connect slide to a functional paramater and use that to control the engine desired operating speed. Depending on the size of the plunger(these are changed regularly to adjust to pressure and volume requirements) of the pump the max volume changes a lot. So if we have a small set of plungers the slider has a huge range that is no longer usable due to the the max value set in the adjust group. I would like to be able to use a math channel to adjust the max value based on plunger size and max RPM. Maybe there is a better way of doing this though..

I have an issue where there are four identical sensors on CAN-D of a MC43.  It has worked without any problems for about a year.  Currently, we are constantly seeing a "Timeout" for all of the sensors on this bus.  There are no other devices on the bus except the four sensors and the MC43.  If we use IQANanalyze, we can see the information from the sensors on the bus, but again, the MC43 shows a timeout for all the sensor JFIN channels.  If we physically unplug the harness from the MC43 and connect it to a MC43 in test box, the MC43 will recognize the sensor CAN frames.  We tried swapping out the original MC43 with the test box MC43 and re-programmed to the machine project file and the test box MC43 does not recognize the sensor CAN frames.  We have an identical setup on CAN-C using the same type of sensors and do not have an issue with reading those CAN frames.  We are using IQANdesign 5.07 and it is in a system with 2-MD4's, 2-MC43's and 1-MC43-FS.  What may be causing this issue?

Hi everyone,

Recently have been working on the system with MD3 and had to enter DM1/FMI for Scania engine. I have found it very tedious task and thought that it could be improved. Most of the engine manufacturers publish DM1/FMI in pdf format that can be easily converted to Excel spread sheet for easy configuration and hope simple add on to IQAN Design for automatic DM1/FMI entry process from the spread sheet would eliminate/improve this job.

FYI Dana Spice publishes their DM1/FMI list already in spread sheet for their transmission controllers.

Any hope or any comments?

Kind regards,

Hi,

The application has two languages; English (UK) and English (US).

A math channel's unit is set up with multiple language properties; m (meter) for English (UK) and inch for English (US).

A value control is used to display the value and unit of the math channel.

The problem is that the displayed unit does not immediately change from m to inch when I change the language from English (UK) to English (US); I need to restart the simulation for the change to take effect.

Is this intentional?

English (UK):

English (US) without restart:

English (US) after restart:

The display page value control:

The math channel:

Tested with IQANdesign and IQANsimulate 6.08.

Just wondering what the best way to capture a demonstration of the functionality of the display is. Is there any way to mirror an MD4-7 display from a live system onto a computer or video stream or is my only option to set up a simulation? The main issue I have with the simulation option is that I have a multi-master system, which communicates over J1939 and there is a lot of data to link between the two to make a functional simulation, plus many of our functions would be difficult to demonstrate in a simulation since there are complicated relationships between multiple I/Os. Thanks

I have noticed that a conditional message can display another channel value. This is handy especially when using the message to notify the user that a parameter is out of spec. I am using an interactive channel for the same purpose but it does not appear to be able to display a value from another channel in the same way. Is there a way to do this?

I have seen a few radio receiver models that have IQAN as an option for control (instead of J1939 or CANopen). Has anyone done this? How is this implemented? Explain to me whats going on.
