Is there any plan to add string compares or other string functions to IQAN yet?

I run into this wall somewhat regularly as our machines get more complex. Adding even simple comparison to strings would be useful. The problem I am trying to solve right now is that I have no way to compare a string to know if it has changed.

Alternatively, if there was some channel status on a text parameter to know if it was updated, that would be useful as well.

I did read through Gustav's thread about string functions here: String functions / Software / IQAN

Doesn't seem there has been much advancement on this topic and those string functions wouldn't accomplish what I am looking to do.

It would be very nice to be able to open/import TXT files (inverse operation of IQANdesign.exe ProjectFile.idax -saveas ProjectFile.txt).

This would multitudes of options for code maintenance, quality control, and version management that don't exist in the current panacean GUI-as-IDE paradigm.

With the release of IQANDesign 7, there's a new warning for implicit value type conversion.

There are lots of cases where we use Dual objects to enable and disable features because it's a cleaner (less lines of code and easier to read) than using And Or and Not math objects.

When we use these dual functions we have used 0 or 1 in a lot of these dual objects which creates an implicit value type conversion warning because it is converting 0 or 1 to a bool.

Since it's possible to already add digital channels to the Dual Object, we think it should be possible to put True or False in them as well. This would allow us to continue using the Dual Object in this manner without the nuisance warnings.

Thanks

Updated user interface

• Introduced Add button, same as IQANdesign
• Reorganized script action categories
• New icons for script actions

Other features

Support scripts based on IQANdesign variant 

Scripts can be based on .idvx variant project files. Note that send project is not supported in this version. 

Script info level 

In IQANrun, a script info level can be set to show when actions are executed.

See IQANscript release notes for more.

Hello,

I would like to get familiar with the ‘Simulink model' functionality while my colleague is working on the model. Unfortunately, there is no example in iQan Design which I can try. Is it possible to get a (simple) example of a Simulink model? Just to get familiar with it?

Thanks!

Hello,

It would be extremely beneficial to have GitHub "capabilities" with design files for version control. Great example would be to link IQAN with COPIA.

Cheers  

Just an idea: It would be helpful for me if iQanDesign could generate a QRcode with information about the system on a display page which a user can scan with his phone and email/app this information. All information that is important (serial number, software version, date of system, etc.) can be send in one message (information for the code must be selectable  by the programmer). Also for documenting/testing could this be useful.

Request to add new line feature (\n or _ notation used in QCode would work) for IMSGs and CMSGs.

Hi There

Is it possible to add a Look Up Table to Adjust Items? Or Adust Groups?  I want to edit the table with IQANrun in real time and see response etc. 

If this is not possible, it should be added to the ideas list please.

Many thanks

Julian

Would be great if the DM1 messages from the "DM1 out" also sends Occurrence Count.

As it is now it always sends 127 which makes the DM1 messages in IQAN Connect portal not work as desired.
