Troubleshooting

Short causes first.

I cannot see the project or dataset

• Header team/org is wrong. Switch, then look again.
• The project is members-only and you are not on it.
• You are a viewer on a different team than the one that owns the data.

Traces did not appear after upload

• Parsing is asynchronous. Wait, then refresh the dataset.
• Wrong format (a screenshot named .s2p, or CSV with no numeric columns).
• .s1p/.s2p need cloudsprite[rf] on the machine that parses locally; the app parse path still needs a real Touchstone.

Filter returned nothing

• Parameter values are strings: cs.params.lot == "15", not == 15.
• Key spelling: instrument vs Instrument vs vna.
• You filtered the wrong project.

Publish wrote nowhere / wrote to the wrong project

• Call cs.set_project(...) (or pass an explicit client) before cs.publish.
• Publishing creates a dataset; viewers cannot publish.
• Failed publish is better than a silent write to the last session’s project.

Bulk edit did nothing useful

• Preview counted zero because the filter was wrong — fix the filter, do not “just apply.”
• Skipped rows already had the value, or you lack edit permission on those datasets.

Mixed-mode looks plausible but disagrees with the VNA

• Port mapping, not the DUT. See Mixed-mode port mapping.
• Arithmetic was in dB, or the 0.5 prefactor was dropped.
• Frequency grids were not aligned.

Correlation flagged everyone (or no one)

• n < 3, mixed lots, mixed trace types, or σ too tight/loose. Print the scores; do not only print the boolean.

Viewer cannot upload / tag / run

That is expected. Members (or higher) do lab writes. See Organizations, teams, and roles.
