I think it would be useful to make it possible to change the channel type after placing the channel in the system. The idea is that there is a generic channel type in which you can choose the channel type. For example, an integer math channel is inserted into the layout and for some reason, this has to become a digital channel but the channel objects have to be roughly the same. In this case, I think a dropdown menu in the parameter menu in which you could select a channel type would be useful instead of going through the hassle of creating the digital channel, copying the values from the integer math channel to the new channel, and then deleting the integer math channel.

I realize that there is a replace function for replacing some of the channel types but I would see this as an adjustment or an addon to this already existing functionality. 

I hope my idea makes sense and that this is useful for the further development of the IQANdesign platform. You are already doing a great job at making an intuitive and easy-to-understand IDE.

Kind regards.

Is it possible to add to the value types a channel? We have several situations that the min or max value of a parameter should be different. When I can use a math channel I can use a state to change the values. Or can somebody give me a workaround?

Kind regards Laura

I am receiving this settings overflow message via (1 long amber flash, followed my 4 short amber flashes). Any idea as to what could be causing this?

This is a different error than calculation overflow, which I am familiar with.

Thank you for the help!

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had blue screens happening while in operation?

I currently have an intermittent blue screen problem on an Md4-7 running Iqan 6.06. Images of one event are attached. The busload on the can-buses are low with no error frames.

When I export languages I get a 34kB .xlsx file

If I open it with Excel 2019 I get a message asking if it should try to repair a damaged file

"Vi hittade ett problem med visst innehåll i "språk test.xlsx". Vill du försöka återskapa så mycket som det går?"

If I select yes it opens a workbook that has four sheets but there is no data on any of the sheets.

Complete error message in Swedish after clicking "Edit":

"Filnivåvalideringen och reparationen har slutförts. Vissa delar i arbetsboken kan ha reparerats eller tagits bort.
Borttagen del: /xl/sharedStrings.xml-del med XML-fel.  (Strängar) Ogiltigt xml-tecken. Rad 431, kolumn 49.

We are getting ready to launch a product using IQAN Software. As we make major changes, how can we push them into the field? Without the customer needing to do a lot of work?

We have a MC43FS and MD4

Thank you

Hello,

It would be nice if we could set the date/time automatically through the IQANDesign application. We have a way of getting the current date/time from an external module, there's just no way as far as I know to force the application to sync with that time.

So I imagine it could look something like this

Some components have redundant CANBus inputs. IQAN can use these by having multiple CAN outputs assigned to different CANbus. It would be nice to have a built in function that could swap an output to a different bus automatically on bus failure or using a logic input.
