Account

You create an account on spl.cloud with your email address, as described in the quick start. An account is personal: create one for each person and work as a team with organizations instead of sharing one account.

Profile

Settings › My Profile › Edit Profile:

First Name, Last Name, Display Name (how others see you)
Company Name and address
Phone: for SMS alarms. The national format also works (079 …); the cloud converts it to the international format.

Organizations and roles

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Why organizations?

Everything in SPL Cloud has an owner: measurements, jobs and SPL Sense instances. The owner is either a person or an organization.

An organization is a group of people who access measurements together: a company, a club, a festival or an authority. All members see the organization’s measurements, and when someone leaves the company, the data stays with the organization.

A person can be a member of several organizations, for example as a freelance technician working for several companies. When creating a job or registering an instance, you choose who should own it.

SPL Sense instances

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Every installation of SPL Sense that is registered with SPL Cloud is called an instance: a laptop, a desktop PC or a Raspberry Pi. How to register an instance is described under SPL Sense › Settings.

States

State	Meaning
Measuring	SPL Sense is online and recording.
Connection lost	The instance stopped reporting during a measurement. SPL Sense usually keeps measuring and uploads the data as soon as internet is back.
Online	SPL Sense is running and connected, but not measuring.
Offline	SPL Sense is not running or has no internet. The last contact is shown.

Where to find instances

Status bar: “SPL Sense 3 of 5 online”, with a list of all your instances
Overview, at the very bottom: all instances with state, activity, owner and current level
Settings › Personal Sense Instances and on the page of each organization

Each instance shows the icon of its operating system (Apple, Windows, Linux).

Jobs with several measuring points

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A job groups several measurements that belong together: all stages of a festival, the measuring points of a construction site or a club with a main and a side room. Each measuring point remains a separate measurement with its own sensor, value profile and data. The job shows them together and lets you set access, Pro and alarms for all of them at once.

Jobs only exist in SPL Cloud; SPL Sense only knows measurements.

Measurements in the cloud

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A measurement appears in SPL Cloud as soon as its Cloud Uplink is switched on in SPL Sense and the instance has internet. New measurements are listed first under the independent measurements on the overview.

The measurement page

Below the title, a line shows the essentials: job, owner, the instance currently measuring (with state), and whether Pro is active.

Live: while the measurement is running, you see the current 1-second values, with an active leveler also gain reduction and correlation. If the instance stops reporting, Connection lost is shown with the last contact.
Days, chart, deviations and events: the same as in SPL Sense, see Evaluating measurement data.
On the side: access (who sees the measurement), Pro, pictures and the other measurements of the same job.

If something about the measurement changes in SPL Sense, for example the offset, the page updates itself.

Read access

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

With read access, another person sees a measurement or a whole job without being able to change anything. Typical for organizers, operators or authorities.

There are two kinds:

	Read access	Shared link
For	people with an SPL Cloud account	anyone who has the link or QR code
Cost	free	SPL Cloud Pro
Revoking	per person	per link, or with an expiration date

This page describes the free read access.
