Logging sessions explained

To manage data received from your device efficiently, both the WiFi Sensor Software and the Cloud divides
data up into sessions. A device begins a session when it starts logging. If you make any changes to the device
such as a sample rate or alarm level change, the software or Cloud closes and saves the current session, and a
new session is created.

All sessions are marked with a date and time to show the period that they cover, together with an audit trail
showing the changes which caused a new session to start.

Once you successfully connect the device to the WiFi network, proceed to one of the following sections:

 If you selected
