CurrentOut PWM Frequency should allow Variables to be used as values

Jack Bowis 7 years ago updated 7 years ago 0

I'm designing an IQAN program to control the test stand at my company. We have a set of seven types of valves that we will actuate using Deutsche Connectors attached to the sections, and potentiometers varying the output. The different valves that we will be testing require different PWM frequencies, so I went into the COut dropdown window and found the PWM Frequency property, which has a range of acceptable integer values from 25 to 335.

I wanted give the user the ability to select which valve was being used at the time, and change the frequency of COut, so that any deutsche connector could be used for any any valve. I started creating a nested set of timers to simulate a PWM duty cycle, but eventually I dropped it and settled for dedicated output ports for each valve, on the grounds that the better functionality wasn't significant enough to warrant the investment of time and energy.

However, the improvement would take almost no time or energy if I could simply set the PWM frequency of the COut pins to the value of a variable, rather than a constant. I can see no reason why this should not be possible, and it would make ideas like this one easier to implement.

3D-mesh viewer for look-up tables and interpolation methods

Marcus Mårlind 7 years ago in IQANdesign 0

When constructing look-up tables, there is an option to look at a color graph. When working with n-dimension look-up tables, its gets harder to visualize the output values. My suggestion is to implement a 3D-mesh similar to what Matlab Simulink offers for their look-up tables. 

One additional request is to also offer the us to choice of interpolation method between linear and cubic. This could be useful in same cases.

Question : acces variable to an other master unit

Florent Mirieu de Labarre 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 11

Dear

I have a multi master system with MD4-10 and MC42.

In the user interface I show every variable on the MD4-10 and the MC42, it is great and easy.

But in application when you need to acces to a variable on other master you can use APPIN/APPOUT or use Canbus function, it is hard to use. Why there are not a "super public" variable  cross master ?

setting time and date

Edward Polzin 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated 5 years ago 5 1 duplicate

I think it would be useful to have the ability to set the time and date of the RTC on IQAN modules that have an RTC via the application.  For example, i may want to sync the time and date with another controller in the system via J1939 messages.

security level for "unrestricted clone"

GPARRY 8 years ago in IQANrun updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 9

Iqan Run clones no longer pull settings I think a clone should be exactly that an identical copy of the software your cloning.

I would like a clone to pull settings regardless of security level

we set OEM settings at the factory and our dealers have less privileges so when they clone a display and send it to a new one none of the settings go with it

we really need a clone to be exactly the same!

This may be a long shot:

Memorizing channel values timer channel values excreta pulled into the clone

Accelerometre sensor

Dear


For next generation of product, do you think it is possible to integrate in MDxx, MCxx :


  • acceloremetre and gyroscoque (a few $ ship)
    • track accident, shock
    • track machine turning (during an accident)
    • track direction change
  • GPS (a few $ ship)
    • speed
    • height
    • real time (can be use for backlight night and day)
  • Bluetooth and wifi
    • bluetooth : same use than G11
    • wifi with convert of TCP <-> canbus to use external device.

What do you thinks ?


Regards

State Picker in MD4

Fredrik Forsberg 8 years ago in IQANdesign 0

Hello,

It would be nice to be able to change the design of the State Picker for MD4.

For example:

  • Text size
  • Font options
  • Border options
  • Colors options
  • To be able to use pictures/symbols instead of using text.
  • To be able to remove or change the big dot inside the State Picker.

Regards

IQANrun feedback and missing feature from earlier versions

Fredrik Forsberg 8 years ago in IQANrun updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 2
  • Measure groups has to be set in IQANdesign before measuring in IQANrun. You cannot make your own measure groups in IQANrun anymore and thats a step backwards as it was a nice feature often used when troubleshooting/analysing machines.
  • Auto scale scales all the curves in different scales. The curves does not gets the same scaling.
  • Possibility to reverse the zoom steps is missing in graph.
  • Filename not visible on saved measurement when looking at a graph.
