Viewing device information

After logging in to your Cloud account, when you select

View Devices»On The Cloud

in the main software

screen, the

My Devices

page opens in a browser and displays all WiFi-500 Sensor Series devices on the Cloud.

To manage the data received from your device efficiently, the Cloud divides data into sessions. A device begins
a session when it begins logging. If changes are made to the device configuration – such as sample rate or alarm
level change, the Cloud closes and archives the current session, and creates a new session for the device.

The number of devices you can connect to the Cloud depends on the type of Cloud account you have (Free,
Personal, or Professional). Click on the

Upgrade

link for more information on account types and features.
