![User Manual of ECO-Sign v1.0 -40- Confidential 6. Schedule Schedule provides recurring and unconventional time intervals to configure the Device active or sleep modes. Recurring time interval 1. Please switch to “Configuration” page. You can set recurring time here. It is also the “Default” schedule which can be default selected in Target page to assign this schedule. 2. This setting is used for test or demo purpose. In real use case, we won’t allow Device frequently wakes up because it consumes much power. Unconventional time interval 1. In Schedule tab strip, it allows you to set unconventional time interval to wake up Devices. 2. Input a new Schedule name in the field and press [Add] button. 3. In the list box, click on the Schedule you just created. You can set the Wake-Up time in absolute time here. After pressing [Add] button, the new timing will be appended to right side list box. 4.

![User Manual of ECO-Sign v1.0 -41- Confidential 7. Configuration Default Schedule : (1) Like the setting above, the Device will wake up for 60 seconds. When it returns to sleep mode, it will keep sleeping for 60 seconds. (2) When the Device wakes up, it will check for a new image in the Coordinator. If the coordinator has an update to the display, the image will be transmitted immediately. Once the Device is finished receiving image from Coordinator, it will be assigned a new next wake up time and turns to sleep mode. (3) If a Coordinator is busy serving other Device, the 30 seconds is used to wait for Coordinator’s signal. If the waiting Device still can’t get any response from the Coordinator, it will turn to sleep mode. Check new image interval (seconds): When you change the Template of each Device, ESS has to create new content to be sent. This setting is to set the interval when ESS to generate new image. When it’s time to check new image, you can see a message “Checking new images …” is shown in Information tab strip. If any pixel was changed by user or data, ESS will generate new image for sending. A message likes “The image of [xxxxx] is ready to be sent [x].” is shown in Information tab strip as well. Time out of sending image (seconds): If Device is receiving data from Gateway but takes a long time without any response, you should set a time out to interrupt the transmission. 60 seconds is suggested of this sample setting for 7.4”. 90 seconds is for 10.2”. Stop sending when time out (times)](https://usermanual.wiki/PERVASIVE-DISPLAYS/S0000AZ0R3/User-Guide-1586384-Page-44.png)
