Not sure how transitions and state changes are handled or may be this is an issue with the simulate application. I am not a big specialist of state machine but it was my assumption that the rules were to

1) Evaluate transitions

2) Set state based on transition calculation.

3) Execute code corresponding to state (not directly applicable in IQAN)

Because my code was not working as I expected I wrote a small application:

1 virtual Button.

1 FSM with 3 states: Default, State1, State 2

Goal Have a toggle function every time I press the button, I switch state. basically a toggle.

Transition Default>State 1 = True

Transition State 1>State2 = PositiveFlank of push button

Transition State 2>State1 = PositiveFlank of push button

Added 2 event counters:

State =1

State=2

Result in simulation:

Program stuck in State 1

Counter not changing =0

remark: There was technically a transition from state 0 to state 1. Event counter 1 should have increased. It did not. Changed transition Default>State1 to happen after first scan. Then counter reads 1 but is stuck.

Is this the expected result??

It would be nice to be able to reset any adjust group parameter via a Reset Channel in the program. (Text, Integer, Function, Digital) Currently the only way I know how to reset a channel is by a person physically pushing reset on that adjust group.

What I am trying to achieve is I want a user to be able to name an item via a Text Parameter. Once the user has it named, I want them to be able to reset it back to the default later on via a virtual input on a display. Reason behind this is I have 40 Text Parameters I need to reset to default with one simple action.

It would be nice to be able to assign a State machine or parameter to a "Text Formatting Channel".

I have a situation where I have "Group A", 10 Text Parameters with with a state machine (10 states) assigned to it. And a "Group B" of 15 Text Parameters with a 15 state machine. I would like to use a Single Text formatting channel to Add Group A to B for certain situation.

Trying to display the text on the screen currently is painful.


Also on a separate note it would also be nice to be able to use a Text Formatting Channel in a Text Parameter.

Example: I have array what size is 100 and If I have only 60 measurements there, How I get minimum and average values from these measurements?

ArrayIndexOfMin and ArrayAverage calculates all array 100 values even these empty 40 records and then I get wrong calculations.

How do I get minimum and average values only from records what contains measurements bigger than 0?
