Verify that your data is arriving
Check that an input is delivering data. Do this after you add one, or when a chart goes quiet.
Steps
- Open Inputs and find the input's row.
- Read the line under its name. A healthy input shows counts and nothing else:
12,480 samples · fresh · ~200 S/s total. - Open the row to list its channels — each one this input has produced.
- Open Live. Type part of a channel's path in the search box on the left. Drag the channel into a pane.
- To check the cloud, click the cloud icon on the input's row.
Check it worked
The sample count rises, the age reads fresh, and the tile on Live moves.
If not, the row says why:
| On the row | Means | Do |
|---|---|---|
waiting for first data… | started, nothing has arrived yet | check the device or sender is on |
not started | the input is stopped | Start |
stopped producing | data arrived, then stopped | Retry |
not verified | the settings have not passed a check | Retry |
connection failed | the check could not reach the device | fix the address, then Retry |
finished | a recording reached its end | Start runs it again |
The cloud icon shows:
| Reads | Means |
|---|---|
| Up to date with the cloud | everything captured has synced |
| Uploading · … queued | syncing; the amount is still to send |
| Can't reach cloud · … queued | kept here until the connection is back |
| Not signed in — kept here | sign in to sync |
| Kept on this computer | sync is off for this input |
Note
A recording played without Loop shows at the time it was recorded. Look for it on Replay, not on Live.
