Hello,

Are there any thoughts about integrating some kind of map app to the MD4?

Like google maps or something for navigation?

For example:

-Add a GPS device in the machine and then add some kind of map function in iqan design for the MD4.

-Connect a smartphone to the IQAN system and use the phones gps to show location in some kind of app on the MD4. Or maybe stream the phones map interface on the MD4.

Just some thoughts and ideas. Not high priority.

For consistency reasons and short labels, you may have adjust items ( parameters ) with the same name in different adjust groups.

When in Iqan run reviewing actual settings it becomes impossible to know which one you are looking for,

My proposal is to have a possibility to organise the adjust items in the same way as in IQAN design adjust groups.

Hello,

It would be great if IQAN allowed for Byte Order (Intel/Motorola) to be used on messages that are less then multiples of full bytes. Currently byte order can only be applied on 8/16/32 bit messages, but in some instances we may have a 12 or 14 bit message that requires endianess. We need to do some magic to reorder the bits before sending them, which is a pain.

For example, it is not possible in Parker to send the messages below with different byte orders, as they are not full-bytes.

I am doing a bunch with functional groups in the latest project to clean things up a bit, and it is annoying to have to individually name/rename each of the FGIs, especially when I change the name of the source and then "have to" rename it again in every Funtional Group where it shows up.
Maybe have a box to check to override the default name strategy for the times someone might want another name used.

Hi,

There is any plan to have a programming block to allow writing multiple external value. For example, update value to multiple parameters with the same Qcode. Actually, we have to write 1 block for 1 output.

It could be very interesting to be able to link external variable to be updated with this function block.

Thanks,

David

J1939 -71 is now delivered as a large spreadsheet(digital annex) which makes it much easier to search. J1939 implementations from scratch is still a large task. Have you ever considered adding an SPN library to IQAN Design. Clicking on an SPN automatically assigns a parameter to the correct PGN frame with the default J1939 -71 descriptions. It also automatically adds that SPN to the DM1 list. I think this would speed up J1939 implementations.

New GUI

IQANrun 7 has an updated user interface, more similar to IQANgo. 

Online operations System, Logs, Measure and Adjust are on tabs at the top of the window. 

Send operations such as send to machine and get clone are available with one click on the main menu. 

When clicking connect or selecting an operation that requires connection, a connect dialog is shown. The tab for last used interface is selected as default. 

Single adjust such as function parameters can be adjusted directly when entering the adjust group, giving better overview when adjusting. Click on value to type in or use +- buttons. 

Adjust items with multiple values E.g. COUT is presented in a more compact form. 

New and improved adjust view

Application viewer in a separate Window

Other features 

IQANconnect free

Remote connections no longer require a separate IQANconnect license.

Inform of firmware update

IQANrun now shows confirmation dialog informing of firmware update. 

In a multi-master system, the version info shown is for the address 0 headmaster.
