Selected upload functions only means that what you have set up under sound setup is uploaded to NorCloud. If NoData is chosen, NorCloud will not receive and store any measurement data. It will only function as an interface for controlling the instrument. More info here. |
Media upload |

Media files are stored on the instrument and will be automatically be cleaned up if instrument does not change project. Having other settings than No media files will ensure that these types of files are uploaded and stored in NorCloud.

This is the frequency for which measurement data is uploaded from the instrument to NorCloud. |
Map settings
Here you can alter the map position and the sensor placements.
To place a sensor on the map, simply drag the sensor from the sensor list onto the map, you might have to open the left menu to show sensors by clicking the 
icon top left. If the sensor is already in the map, you may move it again by clicking and dragging directly on the instrument icon inside the map.
Click on the sensor inside the map to get a menu:
•Show NoiseCompass
•Edit NoiseCompass sectors
•Use GPS location, this choice is only available if GPS is enabled on the sensor, a measurement has been saved and a GPS position has been registered. To update the position to the latest, start and stop a measurement on the sensor instrument control (requires administrator access). To test GPS signals on a Nor145/150 sensor, go back to the main measurement window on the physical instrument and press the INFO button.
•Delete, this is only available when editing the project. It removes the icon from the map. The icon can be dragged again from the sensor list into the map.
