I would like to show a countdown timer in an IMSG

I have a timer value via a Text Formatting Channel into the Text field of the IMSG

When running the program the value of the Text formatting channel can be seen to count down with the timer,

But the value displayed in the IMSG is only the initial value of the timer, the value does not change at all.

Can an IMSG display a changing value? If so how

I have an IQAN MD3, XS2 & XA2 set up in an excavator as part of a hydraulic attachment. The system is no longer supported by the OEM as they are no longer in business. I’m in need of some resistors and one of them is proving to be difficult to find.

The resistor is marked 1T and according to the Parker literature there are four versions of this resistor and it seems the connection ends are the difference between them. So my thought is I can use any Parker 1T resistor and just solder it in.

Am I correct in my thinking? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We have an application which can be used on 2 different type of machines. Application logic is the same on both types of machine but the display orientation need to be in portrait mode on one type of machine and in landscape mode on another type of machine. We want to avoid having 2 versions of the same program with only difference being the display orientation in landscape or portrait mode. As you can imagine this will create software maintenance nightmare in future. Is there a way to work around this problem?

Thanks

Hello,

We wrote the functions in a controller. Does the order on the left have any significance? Does the software run in the first order?

We are noticing that Timer channels (with Store Value set to "Yes") - that we use as hour counters in our machines - are being reset when sending a settings file to that machine. The values that they are being reset to, are the values of the timers from the machine that the settings file is pulled from. 

The timers have respective Digital Parameters (adjust items) that are used to reset them, with a Function Parameter (adjust item) specifying the Reset Value. 

However, when a settings file is sent to a machine, the timers do not reset to 0 or to the "Reset Value" but rather to the value of the timer from machine that the settings file was pulled from. 

Please advise. 

I'm transferring information shown on the module page (all the IO) to a 2D cad program so I can draw electrical schematics simultaneously. This involves selecting an input / output in IQAN design and also hovering over it to gather information such as pin number and DIN-AC details etc. If we have scrolled down the page to get to the selected input/output to select and I move onto the cad program on a different monitor on the PC, clicking back into IQAN design window to view the next IO, it always returns to the top.

Its a bit frustrating as I then have to find where I left off, and adds some time to the task I'm carrying out. Its mainly because I loose a visual of the input I was on. 

Can it remain in the same scroll position as it was when I left the window? I'm not closing IQAN design and re-opening, its still open and visible on a separate second display.

I have run into an issue while trying to read NMEA2000 data from 2 engines. The message uses pages to transmit data across 4 messages and has an engine instance in the first page. I cant mask for the engine instance in the last 3 pages. 

It would be nice to have a multipage option like the J1939 Frame for NMEA2000 messages. If that could be combined with masking for instance value, that would solve my issue. 

Has anyone come across this problem - the machine has been logged into with Service access and password and then keeps asking for the password again and always rejects when trying to update with a project file.

IqanRun 6 is being used in this case.

I need IQAN RUN2, where can i find that?

the downloadlink to iqan design 7 doesnt work
