Hello,

When simulating and/or troubleshooting in IQANrun delay on and delay off (for IDCs for example).

It would be great to know the current value of the delay.

Displaying a live timer of the internal value being counted down.

So if the IDC has a 240,000 msec delay on, you could tell how far along this delay was.

Regards,

We have a system that utilizes an MD3 inside the cab and a MC43 installed outside of our cab. Both are controlled by 2 separate relays to turn on power, one inside the cab the other outside. We are receiving a no contact error upon start up and we suspect this is because of maybe a timing issue of the 2 separate relays turning the modules on. Is there anyway to suppress the no contact error for a period of time at start up?

Since updating to 6.06 I get random bluescreens with MD4s. It has been appearing on multiple devices and multiple projects. It is completely random, from many hours to minutes between events. The bluescreen complain about the watchdog timer reset. This is really a big problem since I can't rollback my project to 6.0X (it refuses to open, instead of just a warning like it was in the 5.X). Also, since going to 6.06 I get many CAN errors that I did not get before.

Feature highlights 6.06

Set access level for unrestricted send settings

It is now possible to set an access level that allows unrestricted sending of settings. 

Useful for field service technicians that need to send a clone or settings files where the application has a higher access level on some adjust groups, e.g. production settings.

Related to this, IQANrun will now ask user to login with higher access level if needed to update everything.

DM1 out, New DTC out item

The new Value DTC Out is triggered by the value (True/False) of a digital channel, and triggers sending of a DTC with a set SPN and FMI.

The DTC out from previous versions that automatically set FMI based on channel status is renamed Status DTC Out.

DM1 in, always show SPN number in list

The SPN and FMI is shown before clear text channel name. 

Select the individual DTC in the DM1 list to shows SPN, FMI and clear text below the list. 

MD4 log view updated

Select log record to view longer logged texts in info bar below the list. 

In landscape mode this bar is one line, in portrait mode two lines.

Button shortcut to modules and remote logs

Buttons can now be linked directly to modules and logs. 

Navigating to a J1939 module will show the DM1 list.

Multi-line label control

Labels can now span over multiple lines. 

Enter line breaks manually or set fixed with to also have automatic line breaks.

It would be nice to be able to select and copy the info of the hardware and software in iQanRun for my own documentation.

Its easy to make a type fault if you want to save the info for future reference.

Just an idea.

Using the built in DM1 in channel and associated SPN in channels, would it be possible to make it so that you can have the option to set the dialog priority for the SPN in channel based on the FMI? For example, if I have SPN 100 with FMI 1, 2  and 3. I would like to set it up so the following happens:

FMI=1, dialog priority is warning

FMI=2, dialog priority is alarm

FMI=3, dialog priority is critical

In and IQANdesign project file with multiple masters, is there a way to access particular sections of the Menu system?

As an example, I would like to use a button to access the menu page for logs so the user can see logs from all masters in the system and then be able to select the logs for a particular master. It appears I can only use a button to access the log file for the master that has the display page.

I would also like to access the menu page for other items such as Adjust Groups, Measure Groups, etc.  The customer would like a custom Main Menu page that fits their branding image and then be able to access the different areas of the menu system using a custom button based on their branding requirements.  Below that level the standard IQAN look will work.

The MD4 on screen keyboard has a really small backspace button that makes it hard to use. Is this a bug? Is there a way to make it bigger?

Thank you.

Feature highlights

J1939 DM1 log

There is a new DM1 log item that can be included in an event log. DM1 log item logs diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) received by a DM1 channel. For each DTC a record will be written in the log with SPN, FMI and occurrence count.

If there is a corresponding SPN channel connected to the DM1IN channel, clear text name is also included.

Shown unknown SPN in dialog

The IQAN-MD4 can now show a dialog message for unknown SPN channels, reducing the need to define individual SPN channels. Controlled by property Dialog for unknown SPNs on the DM1IN channel.

To use the feature but suppress some specific individual SPNs, add these as a SPN channels and set dialog property to Don’t show.

IQANrun and IQANdesign graph measure improvements

-Show active values in graph when hovering with mouse.

- Show multiple units in graph: ctrl-click to select channels.

- Channel status indicated below graph (OK, Warning, Error)

- Toolbar below graph

- Scroll wheel to navigate ( Wheel only: scroll X,  Ctrl + wheel: zoom X, Shift + wheel: move active measure item up/down, Ctrl + shift + wheel: zoom y for active item, middle mouse to pan)

- Improved performance

CAN bus recovery

Previously a module had to be restarted after a bus off error, now the modules will recover automatically. Implemented for MD4, MC4x/MC4xFS and XC4x.

MC4x/MC4xFS undervoltage recovery

Between approx. 6 V and 5 V the I/O and CAN are set to critical error status, while the application continues to run. Previously voltage below approx. 6V put the module in stopped critical state.

Re-introduce XA2 and XS2 to legacy tab.

Enables upgrade of systems with XA2/ XS2 expansions to 6.x.

I know you can currently use the "+" and "-" buttons on the MD4 screen to zoom in/out, but has there been any thought about adding feature to zoom in/out using 2 fingers on the MD4 screen for pdf documents?
