IQANdesign 6.00.49 (2 Jul 2019)  [top]
Bug fixes
  49040 Missing scrolling arrows in popup menus

  49044 Transmit rate for JFOUT reset in external function and on copy/paste
  In 6.00, when the send method was set to "on change" the transmit rate was changed to "not used" when coping/pasting a channel or instantiating/updating an external function. Fixed.
   

IQANdesign 6.00.48 (14 Jun 2019)  [top]
Changes and new features
  118 J1939 multi-packet and text support on JFIN/JFOUT
  It is now possible to use JFIN/JFOUT for handling both incoming and outgoing J1939 messages where the PG data length is longer than 8 bytes, multi packet messages.
Text is supported by new channels TPIN/TPOUT, removing the need for the previous JTOUT channel.
  8856 Integration of Matlab/Simulink blocks
  It is now possible to integrate blocks generated from Simulink controller models in an IQAN application. Implemented for IQAN-MC41, -MC42 and -MC43, the feature is not yet implemented in MC4xFS.
See user manual for more details.
  13411 Add Blinking Lamp status to J1939 DM1 decoding
  When enabled, the lamp status MDGN:s will blink according to DM1.
Controlled by property Enable lamp flash on DM1 in channel.
  34308 COUT: Control "bidirectional" property with channel
  Implemented.
  47270 New expansion modules: XC41/XC42/XC43/XC44
  The IQAN-XC4x is a new series of expansion modules based on the MC4x hardware.
The modules have similar I/O capability as the corresponding MC4x, and support both classic CAN and CAN FD.
With this version, the XC4x-series is not yet certified for functional safety.
  47399 Remove modules "not recommended for new design"
  Following modules are no longer recommended for new designs, and are not carried over to IQANdesign 6:
IQAN-MD3, IQAN-MC2, IQAN-MC3, IQAN-MC31
IQAN-XA2, IQAN-XS2, IQAN-XC10
IQAN-G2/G3
XR radio
These modules will continue to be supported in the 5.x branch.
Applications containing these can be opened in IQANdesign 6 to be able to relocate I/O's to newer modules.
  47598 Move property "Connect to IQANconnect" to master
  Move from group property "Connectivity" on Security node to master module (with Ethernet). Renamed group property "IP address" to "Ethernet".
  47678 Show large values in Qcode results
  Increased default width and made it adjustable with a splitter.
  47909 SV camera mirror in run-time
  Moved properties for flip/mirror/bitrate/HDR from camera to video control. This means that individual video controls can have different settings.
  48021 Introduce blink code 1:4 expansion unit error
  IQAN-MC4 will blink 1:4 if I/O error on expansion unit.
  48053 New expansion bus type for higher speeds
  New expansion modules XC4x have support for higher speeds, both classic CAN up to 500 kbit/s and CAN FD with 500/2000 kbit/s. Speed is selected on the bus and automatically detected by the XC4x.
When this bus type is combined with classic expansion modules, classic CAN with the lower speed 250 kbit/s must be used.
  48153 Clarify buttons in toolbar
  Measure button icon changed to look like a "Record" button.
  48159 Clarify pull up/down for PWMIN (MC4x / XC4x)
  Now indicated by PU/PD in the block diagram.
  48180 Measure function group utilization
  When measuring, the function group header now shows utilization for that group. The value includes all channels and lower-level function groups of the group.
  48450 re-introduce show references on right-click menu
  Done.
  48471 Handling of J1939 COMP ID and SOFT ID
  Support for J1939 Component ID and Software ID can now be controlled by properties on master module.
  48897 Implement full circle mode on gauge
  Implemented.
  48898 Support external esc key in PDF reader
  Implemented.
Bug fixes
  47700 MD4: Disabled adjust items adjusted from display page
  The user could change value on an MD4 switch, slider and state picker even when it was grayed out due to disabled channel. Fixed, these are now completely grayed out.
Disabling via adjust item Enabled property also grays out these (only evaluated when entering a display page).
  47782 Errors when importing DBC files
  For Motorola byte order the DBC file was interpreted incorrectly causing the offset to be wrong.
In the vector dbc tool, it is possible to use Motorola byte order for parameters spanning over multiple bytes without being byte aligned. This is not possible in IQAN. Added a check for this when opening the dbc. A dialog is shown stating that some signals were not imported if such signals are found.
Now the length of GFIN/GFOUT is set when adding from the CAN database.
  47925 Remove Generic CAN 50kbit bitrate
  Not supported anymore.
  47996 MD4 adjust menu: parameter adjust limited to 99999.99
  IP can now be adjusted up to 2 000 000 000.
FP can be adjusted up to 20 000 000.
  48103 Improve DPI awareness
  Improved.
  48904 MD4: disabled DOUT stays on
  If an activated MD4 DOUT was in a function group which was then disabled, the output would still stay activated.
Fixed.
  48906 Focus on wrong FSM when switching between them
  When switching between finite state machine channels while focused on a transition, that transition would stay focused in the function inspector. Fixed.
