I have a problem with a system that uses APP in and out between three modules, one MD4, two MC3. I have found that one MC3 does not appear to be receiving APPIN's. When I monitor the modules in IQAN Run, all modules appear to be talking successfully. When I look at IQAN Design the APPIN's on the module that's faulting says Error, Timeout and its red not green. On the module that's sending the APPOUT, the function block APPOUT is green and OK. Its almost as if the modules are not starting at the same time and the timeout for the first APP in to be received is being reached?

Is there any way of finding out more information about this error?

The machine was working OK for some time and it just happened randomly and now im unable to recover the machine. We also have other machines running this software and same software version and it appears OK.

I have extended the 50ms cycle time to 100ms,on all three modules with no success. Is there any reason why this could have happened? Running Design 3.19.9.

It would be nice to be able to assign a State machine or parameter to a "Text Formatting Channel".

I have a situation where I have "Group A", 10 Text Parameters with with a state machine (10 states) assigned to it. And a "Group B" of 15 Text Parameters with a 15 state machine. I would like to use a Single Text formatting channel to Add Group A to B for certain situation.

Trying to display the text on the screen currently is painful.


Also on a separate note it would also be nice to be able to use a Text Formatting Channel in a Text Parameter.

Hello

It is possible to measure a frequency with a md4 ?

Thank

I have an application where I am using a gauge to display the position of a rotating object. I make the 12 o'clock position the 0° point. I noticed that as my input is rotating from clockwise, that the needle on the gauge rotates counter clockwise from 359° back to 0°.

It would be nice to have the gauge continue to rotate in a clockwise direction as my input crosses the 0° threshold.

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?

Is it possible to obtain information on when the operator is touching any point on the display in an MD4-10 display?

I recently updated to V 7.05 and I was able to update the initial system i was testing on with no issues but when i went to go update another system my MD4 would take the new program but the MC43 will not. I have tried power cycling and have had no luck. I then decided to bench test with another Md4 and a MC43 and i had the same issue. The screen takes the program but the MC43 will not connect. I questioned the program itself and made a blank program with the two devices just to confirm and same result. The First time programming both modules take the program and then after that only the MD4 will and i get the incomplete system error.  Note this was all using ethernet

Normally i would just revert back to CAN programming to try to just do the MC43 by itself  but with the V 7.05 i can not get my peak adaptor to connect anymore. I updated the drivers to 64 bit and confirmed in my PCAN view I'm running 64. but I get a no uniCAN error. I then tried to go back to my 6.08 software to test and now it wont work there either as it gives me a communication error and wont connect. It had worked for the last several years until I updated my Peak to 64 bit

Some assistance on both communications would be appreciated.

I am using IQANDesign 7.05 and if I use the component navigator on a CAN Frame IN or OUT (Generic or J1939) there is a letter designated to the frame.

I thought this must have been linked to the calculation order of the frames assigned to a given module but that doesn't appear to be correct because it skips letters (i.e. not all modules have A, some skip other letters). It is also not a reference to the CAN network (A through E on an MC43) that the module is connected to because there are letters like V and W.

What does this component in the navigator mean?

Is there a way to measure the display brightness that is set in the preferences menu? I have a system with 2 MD4s, and I would like any display brightness setting set on one display to be set on the other. Could we perhaps get a module diagnostic channel for this?
