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.

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

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

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?

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. 

Sometimes I find myself collaborating on a project with an engineer who is at a different location and have to test their program changes for them. It would be much easier to find a given channel or object that they are referring to if they could just give me an object number (which you can only find when doing a compare) for me to stick into the find window.

Can we get an item in the status bar next to the project name and version, which shows the number that would normally show up next to BEGIN or END in the project compare window?

I recently got an email notification that the MC/XC 4x series is being replaced by the M24 series controllers.

Is the non M24 series of controllers and expansion modules no longer available?

They claim to be compatible in form, fit, and function, but does the system have to be on IQANdesign V7.03 or higher to be able to swap a non M24 series controller with the new M24 controllers?

That is not ideal, as we have many systems out there with XC4x series expansion modules on V6-V7.02. Having to update master module programming to swap to the M24 series is not great and takes away one of the main advantages of the expansion modules (not having to update master module programming for field replacements). Especially since it can take a very long time to send projects that have different firmware than is on the master when using anything other than Ethernet.

During online sessions I cannot initiate measure even though I am connected and can adjust parameters. I open the software installed but start measure at the top of the page remains white and when clicked does not operate.

The same software installed on a different laptop seems to work fine! The same feature on RUN 6 works on the same laptop, is there something I am missing?
