Can we get a workspace update?

Alastair Mason 2 months ago in IQANdesign 0

Hi,

I'm currently migrating a fairly large program from older IQAN hardware to the current.

The workspace for large programs is awful to use; can we get some kind of update to make this less frustrating?

I have multiple large function groups (30+ inputs) and there is no way to lay them out that makes it easy to read.

And can we also get some more tools other than comments to organize the software?

With all the FS changes and multi master systems likely becoming more common can we get some tools to help manage multi master systems?

It would be good if I could reference MCXX unit states and display them on my MD5 HMI and have it auto populate.

Thanks,

A

Is it possible to save a custom solution?

Andrew Slaght 2 months ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 month ago 4

I like the solutions where you can drag and drop them into programs. Is it possible to drop in my own custom solutions? I think this would increase my productivity?

IQANLauncher

scottk 2 months ago in IQANdesign updated 4 weeks ago 7

We have many machines running a range of firmware versions, we need to ensure we prepare program updates containing the same firmware as already exists on the machine, purely due too the bad experiences when updating firmware remotely.

I assumed IQANLauncher would open the correct version of IQANDesign (If the application version is installed) when a program is double clicked, but we have found this not always the case.
There doesnt seem to be any documentation on this program that I can find, can we get info on its intended purpose and use.

Not a bug

Array bug in iqan 7.06

Rodrigo Perez 2 months ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 months ago 1

If you store an integer composed of 8 or more digits, in many cases the stored value does not match the expected reference value. The discrepancy typically occurs in the least significant digits, which may be incorrectly stored or retrieved. However, the issue does not appear when the least significant digit is 0, in which case the value is handled correctly.

Feature Request - Rotation Property Value for Label Controls

RyanM 3 months ago in IQANdesign updated 2 months ago 2

Would be nice to have a property value for rotation of text channels, specifically label controls. With multi-language support, it makes more sense to write the text vertically then horizontal. Current workaround for this is using embedded text in an image file. This can be a pain point however if the text needs to be updated in the future with having to create new image files.

Generic name to Set output Folder

A DOMS 4 months ago in IQANscript updated 4 months ago 0

Hi,

I'm looking to make a script to help our customer to make some adjsutement,backup ... on there machine.

Because they are not happy with computer, I want to simplify them lot of thing.

For exemple, I try to create an output folder on the Desktop to find it easily.

If I put my computer user profil it works

C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\Script

But the tehcnicien doesn't have the same name than me,

and if I put a link with a Windows generic link like this, it doesn't work :

C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Script...

Image 5240

So, How can I create a folder on the desktop of any computer that will run the script ?

Image 5239

And is it posssible to get a path and work on it in the script ?

for exemple to get the path of the defaut output folder defined in IQANrun option ? 

And to change the path of this defaut folder for example ?

Export Logs to XML

John Andruch 4 months ago in IQANrun 0

Hello,

I recently migrated to 7.05 IQAN suite from the 6 version. I noticed that the ability to export logs into XML has been removed. I just completed an automatic data load process that uses XML. I chose XML because it provided more metadata around which machine and when the information was being pulled. Can we get this functionality reinstated?

Machine ID not showing when connecting by Bluetooth (IQANGo)

Dániel Novák 5 months ago in IQANgo updated 5 months ago 4

When connecting with IQANGo (or using remote assistance) by Bluetooth, the Machine ID is not showig in the machine list below "Select a machine..." menu. Only "Unknown", or "IQAN-G12" and a hexadecimal(?) code is showing for all machines. When there are multiple machines within Bluetooth range, this is very annoying. The Machine ID is only shown after tapping connect button. Same situation before/after pairing, or connecting to the same machine again. MD4-7 / MC43FS multi master system, IQAN G12 BT module.

VREF Error Logs

Ian W 5 months ago in IQANrun updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 5 months ago 1

On modules which have two VREFs, can VREF error logs be updated so that they indicate which VREF has an issue? We've had instances where one of the two VREFs has an issue but you can't tell which one from the system logs. See below for an example of what the logs look like. 

Image 5211

This was from IQANrun 4, but it looks similar in newer versions of IQANrun.

We're adding separate event logs that record the voltage of the VREFs when an error is detected, but it could still be helpful if the system log indicated which VREF has an issue.

qcode zoom

Rick Yorke 5 months ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 5 months ago 3

IQAN design 4 had the feature of being able to right mouse click scroll to zoom in/out on the Qcode. This feature has disappeared with IQAN design 6 and 7. Was this an intentional deprecation?

Having the zoom feature on the channels is nice, but I do miss the Qcode zoom. Also running into an issue with using a laptop and additional monitors where it seems the resolution from the laptop is being applied to the Qcode on the additional monitor.  Additional monitor has higher resolution so my Qcode appears very small and I can't zoom in on it.
If I close the laptop and only use the additional monitors and open Design. The Qcode appears larger and this resolution is maintained when I open the laptop.
