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

Is there a way to export the pin list to an excel-friendly format?

The list is superb to use when making for example wiring cross-reference list.

I know of the Tools-->Project documentation but going to pdf and then to excel is not always so efficient .

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.

Question for using simulate.

When testing a Project in Design we use the separate simulate program to test the design functionality. However when the deisgn uses Canbus as J1939 or CanOpen then it seems to me that I can go in and simulate a single canbus sent or received frame value to ensure that the system does what I want, but I cant simulate the live function of the canbus itself.

For example if I have a master that is sending J1939 packets to something else then is there any way I can generate that Canbus output on the Simulate PC as either a serial interface or using one of the approved USB to Canbus dongles?

So far when using one project master to talk to another master project then I dont believe I can really use simulate to test that but actually need  the 2 master IQAN modules on my desk next to design to test the implications for change and to get a feel for canbus loading etc.

Is my understanding that I cant use simulate for this correct? and is there any plan's to change simulate to cover this aspect in the future?

In my case where I use a pair of MD4-10's to talk to each other over a wireless bridge having that much hardware tied up on my desk is expensive and I don't want to pay for that if there is an alternative approach I could/should use...

Does somebody knows if it is possible to change the colour of for  example a bar graph by a variable.
Now yo have to choose a fixed colour.

I want to change the colour if the input value is above a adjustable setpoint.

The way program it now is to have two bar graph with different colours, and use the visible input to select the color.

Maybe a idea for a next release???
