Sensor Data on Grottocenter

By
Intense work took place last night; Clément and Paul worked tirelessly, and this morning you can use the feature that allows you to import sensor data. This is a very important feature that required a tremendous amount of work. But it allows us to offer a service that is both essential for studying caves and currently unavailable as free, open-source software, freely usable online, enabling all processing, long-term data archiving, and making it available to anyone who needs it. Congratulations and thank you, Clément, for this excellent achievement!

The result may look the same, but you get it much faster.
