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 It indicates that the file is corrupt or outdated.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?
ISO 17215 Setup
I am trying to setup some cameras that have ISO 17215 abilities, but I can not get them to show up on the display.
I can assign the mac to a camera, but that is about all.
I can not find any documents on how to setup 17215 cameras, and when I tried to wire shark a SV camera, I could not see any of the ISO messages.
I am able to stream the cameras over RSTP so I know the camera and streams are working.
These are the settings in the camera, and the IP is set to DHCP, can anyone confirm this is correct?

Iqan 7.05 no longer available for download
Iqan design and run 7.05 is not available for download on the Iqan store. This is our last version available with our license. Is there a reason it is not available?
RTSP Camera Resizing
Is there any reason when you use a RTSP camera, and make the camera picture smaller then the stream it just crops the stream, instead of resizing it to fit inside the window?
I ask, because when you view streams on a PC, you are able to scale up or down the video to what ever size you want. Yes it will effect quality I know that. But it would be nice to get the image to fit inside your display page perfectly without loosing any of the FOV.
