Open with iQAN Run 7 context menu option does not open project file in Run
When using the open with context menu option in windows explorer on an iQAN project file, iQAN Run opens, but it does not open the actual project file for viewing. You still have to open the project file using the open button in iQAN Run.
Exporting image groups causes image file names to change
If I export an image group in iQAN 7.06.22, any images with a period in there name in iQAN will export without the period and anyting that follows the period. It does not matter if what follows is text or numbers.
Example: Image named "test-circle-5.2" will export as "test-circle-5"
The limit value of the Memorizing channel
The customer encountered a strange problem, they use the MEM channel to accumulate the total mileage. The system uses MD5 and MC43FS controllers, and the programs are also separate. The customer uses the same algorithm to perform operations in two separate controllers. In MD5, everything is normal and the total accumulated mileage has been increasing all the time. However, in MC43FS, once the values accumulate to 2048km, they will no longer increase. I use the IQANsimulate to monitor that MC43FS can also break through 2048km.
The difference between the two programs lies in their different Cycle time. MD5 is 50ms, MC43FS is 10ms.
What could be the reasons for this problem?

Text Project to Project file conversion
Is there any intention of being able to convert text project files into Standard Project files? Or even better opening from a text file.
Saving a project file as a text file allows for revision control and diffs. Also this could allow for LLM assisted coding and troubleshooting.
IQANrun does not limit output to minimum value when field is selected
IQANrun does not limit output to minimum value when field is selected. When selecting a COUT to adjust the minimum, it states that the output is being limited to the minimum value, yet it is not limited. We have found a workaround by pressing "+" or "-" to change the set value first, then it will hold the minimum with full joystick throw. Previous versions did not have this problem. Up until we found this workaround, it became extremely difficult to set minimums properly. The only way was to use the maximum field to figure out the minimum, then copy it into the minimum field.
Can't sent new software to machine with iqango
When I try to update the software via IQANgo, I get an error message. It indicates that the file is corrupt or outdated.
When I send the same software file to the machine via IQANrun, it works fine.
The file was saved using the latest version of IQANdesign, and I also have the latest version of IQANgo.
Does anyone know what is causing this, or is it a bug in the IQANgo app?
MD4 Log
An XC43 sent a COUT error to the MD4 display, which is the master module in the CAN bus network. However, the error was not logged in the MD4 log. Any idea why this might be happening?
Link the PGN of a JFIN to a channel inside an External Function, to vary the PGN
Hi,
I want to create an External Function that will contain a JFIN.
When I will import the External Function, I would like to be able to vary the PGN property of the JFIN.
At the moment, it seems that the PGN property of the JFIN can only accept integer number, it cannot accept an integer coming from a channel.
If I insert the External Function in my project, I will not be able to change the PGN property of the JFIN because it will be locked. And I do not want to change it to the same PGN value for all the occurences of the External Function.
I would like the PGN to be a FGI to the External Function.
My use case is that I want to control Hawe PSx CAN valves where they have a different PGN for each valve section. It would be neatly integrated inside an External Function so I could reuse it for all the different valve sections I have in my project.
Any workaround?
Thank you and have a good day!
Updating IQAN Program Without Losing Modified Parameters
Description
Hi,
I would like to ask about the best way to update a program on a machine that already has an existing IQAN application installed, especially in cases where some parameters have been modified from their default values.
If we upload a new program with the same project ID:
- Will it overwrite the existing settings (i.e., reset parameters to default)?
- Or will the current parameter values be preserved?
I want to make sure we avoid unintentionally resetting user-defined or tuned parameters during an update.
Thanks in advance!
Multi Display, Multi Camera issues
I am having an issue with a dual display setup that has multiple cameras. The cameras we are using supports 5 streams.
If both displays have the feed going, and one display is turned off or looses power, the stream on the other display goes down, and the only way to bring it back online is to power up the other display or cycle power on the ethernet switch.
Is this normal behavior. if so is there any way to see the camera status for the display, so after x amount of time, of not having a camera feed, I could reset power to the switch to resolve this issue?
