That means that all the intended features are not yet implemented, and that it may have multiple bugs. We also do not guarantee any uptime for this service at this time. +# Kraken Pro Cloud + [Kraken Pro Cloud](https://map.krakenrf.com) is our online cloud mapping solution for KrakenSDR devices. It allows you to upload KrakenSDR direction finding data onto our central server, so that you can combine bearing data from multiple geographically distributed KrakenSDR devices. With the right geography of the receivers and transmitter, this allows you to instantly determine the location of a transmitter without needing to take multiple readings with a vehicle. ## Geography and Positioning At least two and ideally three or more KrakenSDRs spread out over some distance will be required. If you are detecting transmitters far away, the receivers will need to be spread out more in order to get good crossing of the bearings. -# Software +# Software Usage Kraken Pro Cloud can be accessed by browsing to https://map.krakenrf.com. In order to sign up you will need to enter your email address, and have the serial number of any KrakenSDR that you own. This is the 8-digit number printed under the CE/FCC/UKCA/NoBinning logos on the front-right of the device. +**KerberosSDR Owners:** KerberosSDR owners are also welcome to use this software. However as the KerberosSDR does not have a serial number, please email us at thekraken@krakenrf.com with proof of ownership details. Be it a photo of the KerberosSDR with the current date, or an invoice. We will generate a serial number for you. + Once logged in your will be presented with a map and control sidebar. +## Adding a KrakenSDR + +### Create a Remote SDR Station + +To use the live bearing plotting features of the software you will need to add your KrakenSDR as a 'Remote SDR'. To do this, click on the `+` icon next to the Remote SDRs text. + +![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/78108016/196310125-5fdd2c15-0b37-43df-a3d7-546fcca607de.png) + +Enter the serial number of the KrakenSDR (don't forget the space), give it an easy to remember name (perhaps based on location), and enter a default frequency. + +The decay time setting defines how long data from this KrakenSDR will contribute to the heatmap. Generally this could be anywhere from 10 to 120 seconds. Larger decay times result in more averaging over the grid space, and are useful if locating fixed stationary transmitters. Lower decay times result in more noise, but are required for moving transmitters. + +Once you have the details entered, click `Create Station`. + +![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/78108016/196310458-a912f541-92f4-4ffc-9841-000041077d0d.png) + +### Setup your Local KrakenSDR Software + +Next you will need to set up your local KrakenSDR software via it's Web GUI. + +First connect to the KrakenSDR's web GUI via it's local IP address. + + +## Loading an Offline Log Files + +Kraken Pro Cloud can be used to visualize logs produced directly from the KrakenSDR core software created in the web GUI via the Local Data Recording feature, or for logs saved via the Android App. + +To open a log file click on the folder icon under the 'Logfile' heading.
