How To Upload Data Using Cloud Sync

What are jobs and missions?

To make data files manageable, data is automatically captured in 15 minute segments - referred to as "missions."

A job is comprised of one or more missions.

The duration of a job spans from the first mission's start time to the last mission's end time.

If a new mission's start time occurs within 5 minutes of an existing job's end time, the new mission will be added to the existing job (and the job duration is updated), otherwise a new job will be created.


How do I upload data using Cloud Sync?

  1. Login to Cloud Sync (how to access Cloud Sync)

  1. Load the .cirovermeta for each mission you wish to upload via the 'Select Directory' above the file list. Either a directory or a single file can be selected. The example below shows a single mission and its associated data:

Note: when selecting a file or mission in the file list the associated trajectory is highlighted in the main map:

Note: to remove all entries from the list use the Trashcan button next to the mission. Missions can then be reselected using the folder button. Alternatively, all missions can be removed from the list using the top Trashcan icon.

  1. Once the missions have been selected, click 'Upload All'.

The Cloud Sync software will display the progress of each file and the combined set of files, including transfer rates:

  1. Once the associated data has been uploaded, it will be available in Cordel Connect.

Mission statuses

The "Mission to Upload" list shows an icon in front of the name of each mission. The icon is used to indicate the status of mission integrity, which is checked when missions are first loaded. The following statuses can be displayed:
