Starting and restarting of a simulation takes a lot of time and after every (re)start it starts in the same view so when you are working on large projects you need to a lot of clicking before you reach the part that you are testing. this is particularly annoying when testing  functions that run only just after boot up.

It would be nice if there was a function that you could do a restart without stopping the simulation and/or a or a function that when a simulation is started the program it stays in a pre- operational state so that you can navigate to the part of the program that you are testing and then start the program simulation. 

We have a multi master system with 1 x MD4, 3 x MC43 fitted to two identical machines. All 4 modules have multiple logs inside, we are able to get logs from all modules, however two logs on one of the MC43's only will refuse to download when using IQAN Run. Running Iqan Design 5.03. The logs are visible, and it displays how many logs are inside, however when double clicking to show the logs we get a blank white screen while its trying to populate the logs on screen then it times out after around 20 seconds with a message box saying no response from the controller. The controller remains active, no error flashes.

The controllers are not overloaded, and we are talking only a couple hundred logs inside each log, not thousands and thousands. Is there any known reasons why this could be happening? Its the same for both machines we have, so something common between the two...

We are using an application created in IQANDesign 5.03.11.5029 and when simulating the application I'm unable to login using credentials i configured within design on IQANRun 5.04.6.4873. Looking closer our password we set in design is 27 characters in length but IQANRun will only allow 25? IQAN Design notes state a password can be up to 40 in length, is this a bug or conflict between different versions?

Does this affect the tablet access as our customers use this length password to login, will IQANRun for tablets also limit the password length to 25 characters?

I need 8 directional pulse count inputs... Is there any hope other than using 4 XA2s? Any plans for an IQAN expansion module that can do 4 or even 8  of this kind of input?

I can't find any 3rd party CAN modules that have this type of input. It seems to be all industrial modules.

When I upgraded to IQANDesign 5.04 from 5.03 my project now has 1183 errors, with 99% of them being 'Invalid Context'. I can't seem to find a pattern as to what is wrong with particular snips of code.

Here is one example.

Would like a use Internal Digital in to select different PDFs based on some internal criteria or selections of the type of machine.

IQAN Design 5.04

I have an application file which I have prepared for Telematics using the new Telematics Functionality in "Diagnostics"

-I want to fit a G3 modem. A permanent connection is required and GT is not avail just yet.

-The application file check generates an error if a G3 and GT gateway module is added. - (Too Many Modules Of The Same Type)

The application file check generates an error if a just a G3 gateway module is added.(Missing Gateway Module with Telematics Support)

Can the IQAN team suggest a work around ?  I would like to leave the Telematics message config dormant until GT gets up and running. Can a change be made to IQAN Design so that GT and G3 can live in the same application file for the time being.

BTW - I have tried playing around with the "Enabled" property for both Gateway Modules and the error is still flagged by the application file check.

Hello,

I'm trying to implement gear change using buttons (D, R and N). When the user press the button, it will ask for confirmation to prevent miss click, if "Yes" it will send CAN message and active gear, if "No" do nothing.

I implemented this latch to hold the value of D, R and N gear (if true or false after interactive message).

But the thing is, I want to keep only one gear active at a time, for example D=True,R=False and N=False. How I can manage to turn off other variables inside Qcode?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am running a test bench with only some of the components connected to the MD4 display. In the field, their is a XC23 and 3 other CAN buses connected with multiple devices.

I am validating one of the device on the canbus B. When I start a measure with IQANDesign with the display connected via Internet and go in the function group where the CAN messages are received, the MD4 display crashes and a blue screen appears (see screenshots bellow). This function group receives 4 messages and convert it to 25 signals used in state parameters and math channels.

Busloads during crash and startup is bellow 5%.

Cycle utilisation is bellow 50%.

Cycle time is 10 ms.

We successfully run IQAN Design 4.07.15.4769 on our systems. This is the only occurrence where we see this problem and I am wondering the root cause.

What am I not seeing?

I wish there was an efficient method for importing graphics into the design environment.  It would be nice to have project files dedicated to certain functions (i.e. diesel control) complete with graphics pages linked to channels.  Building larger applications would be much easier if it were possible to import those project files, complete with linked graphics pages, in such a way that an existing display module could be selected as the destination for the application and graphics pages; similar to external functions.  It would save a lot of time and make managing applications easier.

If there is a method I am not aware of, please someone speak up.  As of now, I copy the graphics and function groups from one application to another, but then have to re-link all the dynamic graphics and images.  It can be a real pain and is time consuming.
