ProGlove Documentation

Triple-click trigger function enabled in Scanner settings - We have enabled a triple-click trigger functionality as a solution for all cases where the double-click trigger is already used within an existing process. Additionally, this will allow workers to have more interactions with their system while only using the scanner and its Index Trigger. The functionality is enabled by default but can be disabled in the Scanner settings tab within your Device configuration when needed.

Photo Reporting status event - New capabilities for defining and analyzing Photo reports made on your shop floor. When using Streams API, there's a new status event that allows you to retrieve essential information about your Photo report and its status, including the devices that produced it, their firmware versions and identifiers, as well as to define the title, description and summary of your report. For more information, visit this page.

Configurable BLE advertising channels - In environments that have multiple connectivity points and heavy wireless traffic, certain signals can interfere with each other and impact sensitive devices using the 2.4GHz band. To avoid this, we made the BLE advertising channels configurable and our Device configurations allow you to disable one of the three BLE advertising channels as needed. Check the Scanner settings tab within your Device configuration and visit this page for more information.
