I just updated IQANdesign to 6.08.22.8040. Why some of the IDC, SMC and DMAC channels are now yellow?

If I run a simulation using IQANdesign/IQANsimulate 6.08 with all digital inputs used, DIN-A through DIN-T all show OK, while DIN-U through DIN-AR all show False: Disabled.  If I do the same thing with IQANdesignIQANsimulate 5.05, then all digital inputs show OK.  Can you explain this?

Hello,

I am attempting to setup DM1 Out messages in a project utilizing a MC43 and running into a few challenges. 

1. How can I propagate the status of a I/O to a Math or IDC channel? I am mapping a I/O to intermediate channels so that a single application can support multiple machine models and hardware layouts. The Math/IDC channel have a Equipment Model configured as a function selector. I want to use that Math/IDC channel then in the DM1 Out container as a Status type so that a FMI can be set based on the status of the actual I/O.

Is there a way do this?

If would be nice if StatusOf(VIN-A:MC43FS[0]) spit out a integer which could be used in the FMI field of a Value type DM1 out.

2. I've noticed that I get a project error if I create a Status DM1 out and a Value DM1 out that use the same SPN number. It would be nice if you could mix these as long as the FMI configured for the Value type did not overlap with the FMIs used in the Status Type. Is there a possible way to have a Status and Value type DM1 out that utilizes the same SPN number?

Thank you,

Gord

I am running IQANdesign 6.08 and Simulator 6.08

I have started the simulation from within IQANdesign. Whenever I navigate to a certain disabled function group I get the following error:

Message data size wrong (was 11, but expected 2 bytes).

After the error, measurement is terminated but the simulation keeps running.

The function group in question is disabled, and has a number of inputs and outputs.

When using a modern monitor the menus and text is very small in analyze compared to design, almost unreadable without magnifying glass.

Here is a picture with them side by side for comparison:

Is there any way to change the scaling?

Windows 11 Pro

Resolution 3840x2160

Scale 150%

An MD4 loaded with Iqan 6.08 program wouldn't load the program after being set up and running for a while - not seeing the address tag.  I loaded it back to the 6.07 version of the program and the MD4 started up without any wiring changes - the address tag (0) was attached the whole time.  Another machine running a 6.08 program (different program and machine from above) - Our PDI people saw the same message and had to cycle the key to make it go away.  The address tag wiring seems to be good on both machines.  I will report back if we see any problems after loading the 6.07 program back in.

All Gauge Controls in my program change position and radius if a different language is selected.

This issue appears in IQANdesign 6.06 & 6.07.

The issue can be seen in the simulator and on the machine.

The Gauge Controls are:

 - visible based on an IDC

- controlled by a MAC limited from 0 <-> 360 degrees

- Radius:110, Clockwise: Yes

- Min angle: 60, Max angle: 120, Min value: 0, Max value: 360, Tick count: 6, Show labels: No

- Scale color: White

- Needle: Color: $FF1DB9FF, Length: 1, Base width:1, Tip width: 1 

 - Anchor: Color: $FF1DB9FF, Width:5

If I change the Visible condition, Input channel, location or radius the issue still exists.

Does assigning the diagnostic bus to a specific bus do anything in a single master system? I've connected to systems with IQANrun and IQANgo on busses that are not designated diagnostic without any issue. As far as I could tell, they had full functionality within the apps. It seems more like whichever bus you connect to using IQANgo or IQANrun has full diagnostic ability, as long as it is not of a type that can't mix with a diagnostic bus.

Thank you,

Chris

I use text buttons with no text but images on the buttons instead. The problem being is with the latest update every time I open the file, it automatically fills in the blank field and I have to go through the entire program and delete them before I can flash a machine. 

Function is used for different machine configurations, please make check "Warning" not Error!
