Since there are no DM1/DM2 blocks to send out 1 or more faults yet, (hint!), I'm trying to implement it myself, using Array blocks. It works, BUT:

- No Array support on MC3 (for safety reasons? why?)

- No looping or "Add" functions to construct the list dynamically

- Arrays are Float by nature. This is inaccurate for 32 bit UINT DTC codes. Would be nice to have a integer (and if doing it anyway, a boolean) variant

- Ability to fill/insert/operate an Array from another block ("adding itself to the list")

Biggest problem is the MC3, where more than 50% of the CPU is currently spend on sending out DM1 & 2 messages. Which is obviously way overkill, but I don't see ways to do it more efficiently with the available tools.

Is there a way to set the J1939 Source Address field in the TSC1 command to an Integer Parameter? That was we can install the same crane software on different truck chassis with different engines.
Cummins/PACCAR like to use SA 7 for TSC1 control. Detroit Diesel likes to use SA 231. It would be nice to allow the J1939 SA field to look at an integer parameter and adjust the code accordingly.

Ability to change TP channel value using Qcode like:

if VDIN-Choice1 = true then TP1 := "Your choice value is:" + MAC-value1 + " that is under the limit"

I have an application where I want to send text strings over CAN on a very occasional basis. A tool for handling extended outgoing CAN frames for this task would be very useful.

Please include an auto ASCII converter in the tool.

Part four of the IQANdesign tutorial is now available, this one is introducing some of the Qcode sytax:
