SPL Sense instances
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.

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).
Instance page
Clicking an instance shows:
- what it is doing: during a measurement, the running measurement with the current 1-second values, with an active leveler also gain reduction and correlation; when offline, the last contact
- the Details: Instance ID, host, operating system, owner, registration date
- with Pro, remote control
Who owns the data
A new measurement uploaded by an instance belongs to the owner of the instance. Only instances of the same owner may upload into an existing measurement.
Changing the owner
You change the owner of an instance by registering it again:
- In SPL Sense: Settings › Cloud › Unregister Instance.
- Register instance and, when confirming in the cloud, choose the new Owner.
- In SPL Sense, switch on the Cloud Uplink for new measurements.
The instance keeps its ID. Measurements that have already been uploaded keep their previous owner. The instance can no longer upload into them, because only instances of a measurement’s owner may upload into it. So change the owner between two assignments, not during a running measurement.
Removing an instance
On the instance page, in the menu: Unregister Instance. The instance can then no longer upload anything. The measurements in the cloud are kept. Also unregister the instance in SPL Sense so that it stops trying to connect.
