On-boarding and Deploying Your First Devices on the Helium Network - Part 1

Monitoring DC Usage by Devices

Each account using Helium Console to access the Helium Network was seeded with data credits (DCs) to support initial device testing and deployment. The amount of available data credits is always visible in the upper right corner of the Console near the username. Clicking on the amount will show a detailed summary of DC activity for the account.
