The ability to override, disable, or modify the automatic message displayed when there is a fault on a specific IO point (High Error, Low Error, Open Load) would be beneficial for us.

There's a scenario where a PWM HS+LS signal is used to monitor an interlock loop. Some of the devices in the loop require a PWM signal to accept the interlock as valid. We would like to monitor the Output status for open load to determine if the loop is broken, so using a HS output and disabling Open Load Detection wouldn't work in this scenario.

If we could override the message text and severity for each IO Point individually, it allow Parker to keep the Open Load Detection where necessary, but we could have a more friendly interface for the operator without nuisance alarms.

It would be nice if a display page could be used as a channel somehow. Say I want to disable something while on page 1, if I then reorder the pages it is no longer linked to the correct page. Also, a component navigator link from the SIC active display page to the pages would be helpful to trace functions that would be affected by changes to page order.

Within our company we have a document management system. This system provides an automatic version management of drawings, Word and Excel documents, but also the IQAN project files. The document management system provides the correct file name, display version in the file, etc.

We run into the problem that we cannot arrange this in IQANdesign. My question: is there an API available to read and edit the project properties (of the IQAN file) so that they can be managed from our document management system.

I have some warnings that I should show to user when I receive them. Is there a way to scroll any list ot another way with list of elements? If I receive, for example, 10 elements but I can show only 5 on the screen. Especially when I have different types of messages: warnings, causion, notifications... 

Should I only add some hidden elements and show them in time? But it will be strange way... Especially when I have many different elements 

Thanks for any advices!

Easy one this, when you are doing a large state machine after a while the state you are on becomes a little hazy, perhaps instead or as well as a lightly raised tab, a color code might make it easier on the eyes? So instead of:-

we could have something like: -

Just a thought. 

It  would be great to let the user mark text in the script to be able to copy text.

I'm working with a TPMS System and there is a PGN 64582 (0xFC46) which has SPNs in order:

a = Number of Tire Sensors

b = Tire Sensor Tire Number

c = Tire Sensor Location

d = Tire Sensor Identification Number (ASCII with * delimiter)

The Digital Annex says d mentioned above is variable length from 0 to 200 bytes followed by "*" delimiter.

The SPNs are received in order a,b,c,d,b,c,d,b,c,d,...etc (to the number of tires on the machine).

I have attempted to set up the JFIN using JPINs for everything but the Sensor Identification Number, which I use a TPIN with a delimiter of 42 (ASCII *)

The first set of a,b,c,d SPNs I know the bit offset for because a,b,c are fixed length. After the first TPIN, the data no longer lines up with my bit offsets and I can't set the bit offsets of the JFINs to Dynamic.

Is there a way to set up the Bit Offsets to account for a variable length text parameter in the middle of the SPNs?

Thanks,

Hello, 

Since we have been using iqan design for a few years, some colleagues and I think that it would be really useful to be able to add images to illustrate / describe a part of the code in some cases.
These images could be reduced to a few kb automatically so as not to take up too much space in an application.
Is this a feature that would be feasible?

Thank you

I don't understand what is going on in v6.08 IQANdesign.  I can no longer assign a 29 bit CAN ID to a GFOUT.  When it's first assigned everything seems okay, but as soon as you run Project Check, it then flags the ID as "Value not within limits".

NOTE:  The ID I am attempting to use IS WITHIN LIMITS as it is less than 536,870,911 (0x1FFFFFFF) as detailed in the text explanation box.  Did v6.08 break this ability????  See below:

Hello,

I am working with a device that sends multiple frames using the same message ID. Often times there is a parameter that contains data from two different frames, for instance, Parameter "X" (32 bit float pt) data can be found in Byte 6 & Byte 7 of Frame 01 and Byte 1 & Byte 2 in Frame 02. I'm able to use the paged/mask filter successfully to capture the multiple frames but am stuck with how to take the individual bytes and convert them to 32 bit float. I've noticed a Generic Parameter In Channel handles it automatically when assigned "real" and is pointing to the 4 Bytes but this only works when the data (4 bytes) are packed into the same frame, not spread across two different frames. Thank you!
