MD5 CAB i/O and JOYSTICKS
Will the MD5 ever be capable of CAN routing or get treated as an expansion with programmable features? APP IN/OUT not ideal and setting up a lot of J1939 messages (80 or more) is cumbersome. Would be nice if the MC43 could see all CAB info from the MD5 via the diagnostic bus or CAN routing via the diagnostic bus..
Generic name to Set output Folder
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 ?
VREF Error Logs
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.

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.
Application Migration From MD-4(7) to MD5(8).
Application Migration From MD-4(7) to MD5(8).
1. How do I migrate a chunky application without having to lose connections to my I/O's that are present on separate Expansion modules but controlled by the head master MD4-(7) when I need to migrate the application from MD4-(7) to MD5-(8)?
2. How do I keep connections between adjustment groups, adjustment parameters, logs and Monitoring channels under the same transition?
3. Basically how can I completely migrate an application contained in an MD4-(7) screen to an MD5-(8) screen without loosing connections to other hardware in the System Layout if I am using a Variance file.
The purpose is to have 2 selectable headmasters with complete application available on both.
File is too old or corrupt
Hello,
I have a file that I made in 7.5 (not from from scratch but it has been updated to 7.5) and my customer keeps getting this error when trying to upload. Only timeout warnings in the software. Anyone else have any experience with this? Seems to only happen on one Md4

Exporting .dbc that includes CAN routing frames
Hello,
I am currently using IQANdesign 6.08. The system I am working on is a multi-master system, and I am sending information over CAN E (J1939) to a third-party PLC.
I am using CAN routing to add certain frames from other modules onto CAN E. When I create a DBC file for this bus, none of the CAN routing frames are included in the DBC file. Can you advise if there is a way to include these frames?
Thank you,
Jordan
Delayed can connection during multimaster startup
I have a system with a MD4-5 display and a MC43 controller in 1qanDesign 7.04.
Between these two the master/diagnostics bus is connected via a wireless can repeater.
This works perfectly fine when the connection is established via the wireless repeaters. However when the modules statrtup together with the display, the display is started faster than the display, which causes no connection to the mc43 to be established even when the can connection is online.
If during startup the connection is online, but connection is lost and re-established, everything works fine.
I have already tried making the MC43 optional, but this didn't work.
There seems to be some check in the startup that causes this behaviour?
Is there any way to avoid this?
Switch between languages in a measure file
Is it possible to set it up so the the language of a measure file can be changed after it has been saved? We receive measure files from machines across the world, and it would be nice if we could easily switch the language of the measure file after we receive it so that we could see it in English even if the language of the specific machine is set to something else.
