# Introduction

This user guide will outline the installation and usage of the Cordel software that is supplied with each Cordel hardware unit. The software is used to develop usable .las/ .laz files from the lidar sensor. This software requires an internet connection to authenticate, post process the mission and download map data. 

In order to ensure your Nextcore unit performs to its specifications and remains operable, it is important that you read through this User Guide carefully. 

If you are in doubt regarding the contents of this user guide it is important that you contact the Cordel service desk for clarification or further training.
