cable as shown.
This getting started guide explains how to prepare the SENTRY for rst use, and
how to conduct and view surveys using the CloudSURVEY Portal. This guide shows
summarised steps that should be suitable for most users, but more a more detailed
explanation is given in the SENTRY hardware user’s manual, SirettaSPARK Users
manual and the CloudSURVEY user’s manual.
