1. A test fixture for testing aerosol provision devices, the test fixture comprising:
one or more testing modules including a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of an aerosol provision device; and
processing circuitry operably coupled to the one or more testing modules,
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to provide a transition signal to the aerosol provision device to transition the aerosol provision device between an initial state and a transitioned state during a functional test controlled by the processing circuitry,
wherein the transition signal has a message format comprising a plurality of fields including a data portion, and a length indicator, and
wherein the length indicator indicates an anticipated length of the transition signal based on providing information on contents of one or more other fields of the message format.
