Operation

Software operation is very straightforward as the the interface maintains the designs language and UX patterns established througt the rest of the Auterion interfaces

Vehicles

The vehicles page provides the operator with a overview of their vehicles, as soon as they are detected and picked up by the system.

The page is reactive and will respond to hardware changes (both adding and removing) of vehicles.

The list of vehicles will allow you, as the operator, to view, at a glance, the current release the vehicle is running, its state, Suite activation status, as well as provide you with direct links to the vehicle's various control interfaces (Vehicle Web UI, Suite, etc)

Vehicle Details

For each vehicle, the operator can inspect its full list of details, one that includes software versions, running apps and services, system statuses, etc

A fuzzy search bar at the top, allows the operator easily filter and look up the desired values and versions.

Logs

The Logs page highlights available flight logs across all of the currently connected vehicles.

It allows the operator to see at a glance, the log size, when it was generated, and if it was previously uploaded to Suite.

A operator can also individually select logs for upload (or download), or, using the Upload All button, send all the current, non-previously-uploaded, logs to Suite.

Individual Log Details

For a more detailed look at a specific log, file header information is available, which enables the operator to gather further information before upload

Firmware

The Firmware page lists all the current available apps or firmware for deployment. These can come from online sources (Suite connection) or from local sources (Manually added)

To enable operator freedom, Webtopus does not restrict the operator from deploying any available firmware to any available vehicle. However if a vehicle <-> firmware mismatch is detected, the vehicle itself will reject the update.

Releases from Suite

If a Suite connection is available, the Firmware list will be enriched with all the software releases available to the current company (as determined by the connection Company API Key), both internal and publicly published

On first installed, they will be cached locally, so future deployments can be done in a offline environment.

Local Releases

If Suite connectivity is unavailable, or Webtopus is operating in a offline environment, or it is used to deploy experimental builds, the operator has the option of manually adding their locally available releases, which can then be directly deployed to the vehicle(s).

This can be done by clicking Add local release and selecting a .auterionos artifact from the operator's local machine.

Fuzzy Search

Across all available sections, be it lists or specific information modals, a fuzzy search component is present, which allows the operator to quickly find the information they need.

Suite

All of the above instructions assume your instance of Webtopus has first set a connection to Suite.

Offline functionality is available and supported, but a connection to Suite will provide a more complete set of features.
