Flash profile information

Nov 17, 2020

VMG-14 - November 2020 - VUSION Manager


Concept

All VUSION labels are equipped with an LED that can flash when a flash is triggered. Several flash profiles can be applied to a store: Normal, Fast and Ultra-Fast. These last two profiles reduce the wake-up time of the labels and thus allow them to flash in record time.

Principle:

When configured and activated in fast or ultra-fast flash, the store applies these configurations as soon as a flash is triggered on a label, and for a period of 20 minutes. With each new flash triggered, the counter starts again for a duration of 20 minutes.

If the configuration is disabled, the store will flash normally regardless of the store profile.

Note that a fast or ultra-fast profiles can have consequences on the battery lifetime of the labels.

 

You can view the flash profiles and configurations of your store from the “Technical configuration” tab in VUSION Manager. The information provided are the following:

  • The current flash profile which gives an overview of the flash profile at the present time in the store. It should be normal, except if a flash was triggered and the store configuration is in Fast or Fast-flash mode and activated.

  • The profile configuration of the store represents the flash configuration of the store. It can be Normal, Fast or Ultra-Fast.

  • The flash configuration status allows the user to know if the previous configuration is active or disabled on the store.


How-to

  1. On your store dashboard, go to the “Technical configuration” tab and make sure you are on the “Information” page.

You will first see your setting information.

2. Scroll to the bottom to find you Flash information.

3. If you want to have the full JSON profile, your can “Copy to clipboard” by clicking on the “page” icon

The JSON is as followed:

{ "currentFlashProfile": "NORMAL", "lastFlashDate": "2020-01-16T16:04:40.444Z", "configuration": { "durationInMs": "1200000", "profile": "ULTRA_FAST_RESPONSE", "status": "ACTIVE" }, "lastProfileChange": { "durationInMs": "1200000", "startDate": "2020-07-06T16:03:39.784Z", "endDate": "2020-07-06T16:00:38.1Z" } }

To be understood as followed:

  • Current profile “Normal”: the store is currently not flashing. If the store was flashing, the current profile would be defined as “Ultra_fast_flash”.

  • Profile configuration “Ultra_fast_flash”: the store as been configuredt to do fast_flash.

  • Configuration status “Activated”: the configuration is actived which means when a flash will be triggered the current profile will switch to a Fast_Flash.
