Release notes - IQANdesign 4

IQANdesign 4.00 (15 Dec 2015)  [top]

Changes and new features
  90 Allow multiple instances open at the same time
  Now possible to have multiple instances of IQANdesign open at the same time. Copy and paste works between instances.
  104 Add graphic measure on display
  Line and bar graph display controls for IQAN-MD4. Used to draw a graph of a channel value over time. When using an array channel the complete array is drawn as a graph.
  116 Channel scope
  Channels can now be made visible in other function groups than its own, either in sub function groups or the entire application. This reduces the need for FGI's and offers more flexibility in the application structure.
  2014 Add random function
  Random added as math operator.
  2805 New channel type - Finite state machine
  Improved state machine with transition conditions.
  3490 New component type - Comment
  Comments can be placed anywhere in function groups.
  3821 New channel type - Array Channel
  The array channel is used to store multiple values in a single channel. The stored values can be accessed in other functions by indexing the array. There are also special array functions that perform operations on all values in the array such as finding min, max or average.
  15052 New programming method: Qcode
  Qcode is a text-based programming method available on all channels with function. The previous programming method, Object list, can still be used.
  15266 PDF viewer
  It is now possible to add PDF files to project files for viewing on IQAN-MD4.
  19856 New module type - IQAN-SV
  The IQAN-SV is an Ethernet camera which requires minimal configuration.
  21858 Improve import function
  If a function group is selected and the imported project file contains only one application it will be imported to the selected function group.
  21955 Improve decoding of J1939 PDU1 (DA)
  Added property "Destination address (DA)" to JFIN/JFOUT. The new property is enabled when PGN is in PDU1 range.
  21992 AxC/DDC: Allow channel to control Diff check limit/Delay
  Diff check allows FP or IP channels.
Delay will only allow IP.
  22546 MD4: Add raw value measure
  Implemented.
