Is it possible to add the ability to define channel names dynamically with text parameters? It's nice to have one IQAN application that controls multiple configurations of the same machine. I know we could generically name the channels, but it really helps the serviceability to title the channels based on function or component.

I recently tried to export a dbc file that contained a multipacket JFIN with dynamic TPINs. The exported file does not include the TPINs.Export dbc test.idsx

When adding a J1939 image from the library in the latest version of IQANdesign, it no longer allows you to customize the image size.  It adds the images as 50x50, which is much larger than I want.

I have a MDL2 i normally program it with my other laptop that has 3.19 iqan design on it, I would like to download it on another laptop and program the MDL2. Where can i download version 3.19?

Hello, 

I have imported a J1939 message with a multiplexor starting on bit 13. I was used to have 1  message by multiplexor value (in my previous importations)  but I only have 1 message with the data of the last multiplexor value. Nevertheless, the Multiplexor seems to be detected:

Is there a list for possible DM1 error messages for the different types of pins.

For example, I don't think a VIN pin can have the message "Checksum error".

Hello, 

Yesterday, I tried to import a J1939 dbc but I had an issue. I have 2 IDs,  CEFD1EF and DEFD1EF, with the PGN EF00 and 1EF00. When I try to import these 2 messages, I get a random result: I sometimes obtain 2 messages with the data mixed on eachother, or 1 message with the data of the 2 messages, and the PGN read by Iqan Design is always EF00 (61184). 

The work around I found is to import the messages with PGN 1EF00 and change the PGN imported from 61184 to 126720, then import the message with PGN EF00.

I concluded that the DP bit is not read or not correctly imported. In your opinion, is that an importation bug or a bad DBC configuration?

Recently had the same issue with 2 different customers who have been running the same system for 5+ years. 

The systems have an MD4 and 3 MC3s.   

After a partial touchscreen failure the customer replaced the original MD4 (running a program written in IQAN design 3) with a new MD4 and flashed the whole system with an updated program written in Design 5.07.  

After flashing, everything worked for a few days and then one of the MC3s had a No Contact error.  I had them swap two MC3 modules around and reflash and the MC3s received the program with no issues over the CAN network but the No Contact message remained.  I had the customer check the indicator flash codes on the modules and the 2 units that could still talk with the MD4 were flashing 3 reds and an amber (no contact), but the MC3 that couldn't be communicated with was flashing steady amber (status ok).

I then had them unplug the C2, C3, and C4 connectors to the MC3 causing the issue and the No Contact went away.  I had them plug in the C2 and C3 connectors and everything was still working fine (besides open load errors from the outputs on C4 connector).  When the C4 was plugged in the No Contact returned.  

The system uses Digital Out/Returns on C4 pins 13/14, 15/16, & 17/18 to control relays.  Once they unplugged the wiring from those 6 pins the problem was resolved.  The functions run by those relays are not critical to the operation of the system so customer is leaving unplugged.

As I said, this is the 2nd time this has happened recently.  The first time I chocked it up to a wiring fluke but now that it's happened twice and both soon after a screen replacement/firmware update I'm starting to connect the dots and thinking there may be a bug in IQAN design 5 which is causing this issue.

Hello all,

In the last couple of weeks when I open a project through either "Existing project" or by clicking one of the "Recent projects" in the window shown when opening the IQANDesign application the following error is shown and the selected project is not loaded.

When I find the same project in windows explorer and open it from there, the error is not generated and the project is loaded correctly.

How can resolve this issue?

Some more information regarding the IQANDesign version.

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

Roy den Drijver
