  • Page 24: Configuring New Missions

    Configuring new missions To use your EDGE S-400 or EDGE M-300 module, you must activate a mission using EDGEVue. What is a mission? A mission is a set of configuration options that are used to manage your module. Mission parameters include: 1. A name for the module and how often temperature is read 2. How and when the module should begin tracking data (the startup mode) 3. High and low alarm limits 4. Whether or not data should be pushed to the Cloud 5. Whether or not to use a password to protect against unwanted stopping or reprogramming of a mission New EDGE S-400 modules may be started, only the very first time they are used, with a 3-second button press. This activates the module and starts datalogging with the default profile (see For EDGE S-400 only: Activating mission with a single button-press on page 34). How to Use EDGEVue and EDGECloud...

    Setting up EDGECloud access How it works Mission data can be pushed by your smartphone or tablet from your EDGE S-400 or EDGE M-300 module to the EDGECloud service via your regular Internet connection (i.e. cellular or Wi-Fi). The data can then be accessed from computers running EDGEVue PC software. You can share mission data with other users over the Internet via the EDGEVue PC application. Mission data can be pushed to the cloud by your smartphone or tablet First, you must install the EDGEVue PC application and use it to create your company account to access to the EDGECloud and the different user accounts. These accounts are linked to your company account (EDGEVue PC application available free of charge on www.temptimecorp.com/products/edgevue-app. • For EDGE M-300 modules, you must enter a voucher number authorizing a specific number of modules for a specific period of time. • EDGE S-400 modules are purchased either with, or without, Cloud access.

  • Page 26 For a given mission to be pushed to EDGECloud, you must provide a Cloud user account name in EDGEVue mobile, on the smartphone or tablet that is used to program the module. You must use the login information for an account linked to your company (yours or another account) to push mission data to the Cloud. Then, when the module is on a mission, other users with EDGEVue mobile installed on their mobile device can read your datalogger module, for example at intermediary locations during the mission. Those users do not have to configure anything in their smartphones or tablets. They simply remain “anonymous,” yet they can also push mission data to EDGECloud. As with programming, only mobile devices configured with a user account linked to your company account are allowed to stop a mission that has been pushed to the EDGECloud.
