I know this has probably been asked multiple times over the years, but we really need to have the possibility to downgrade and upgrade devices freely between versions.

With the recent changes on new MD5 HMI screens being shipped with 7.06 firmware from factory, i am now left with a big problem in having two different versions of multiple projects for vehicles currently in production. Which is, putting it mildly, an inconvenience, specially if i ever have to do maintenance on them or have the need for whatever reason to update the project.

I don't want to ask for the possibility to downgrade from the 7.06 firmware to older versions, since the time and money you would spend on developing it is probably not worth the effort. But i would like to humbly ask that moving forward, please, allow the possibility to downgrade and upgrade firmware versions freely from 7.06 onwards on all parker devices.

Thank you.

In IQANrun 7, Current Output adjustments like Max Current don't get greyed out like they did in IQANrun 6 when you have a separate parameter controlling them. For example, if I reference an integer parameter channel for setting the max currents, as shown in the example program below: 

This is what it looks like in IQANrun6 when I go into the current output adjustment. The max current adjustments are nicely greyed out to indicate that I cannot adjust them here: 

This is what it looks like in IQANrun 7:

In IQANrun7 it actually lets me make adjustments to the Max currents in this current output adjust page, so it appears like you have changed something, but when you leave the adjust groups and come back the max currents go back to the value of the integer parameter which is controlling them. This creates a lot of confusion. 

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

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?

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.

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.

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. 

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...

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

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 ?

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?

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.
