Description |
| Launch supported loggers |
*
|
*
|
To set up a logger to record data, you must specify several parameters and launch, or start, the logger. |
| Launch time-saving options |
*
|
|
By
default, HOBOware Pro displays the Launch window when you initiate a
launch. If you want to skip the launch window and launch the logger with
the default settings, choose Automatically launch. This is particularly
useful if you want to launch many loggers quickly without changing any
settings |
| Check Logger Status and view current readings |
*
|
*
|
The Status window displays the current status of the logger |
| Filters to extract key series information at Launch |
*
|
*
|
As
part of the launch setup, you can create a filtered series that
automatically calculates additional values, such as maximum, minimum,
average, or total, for a set interval upon readout of the logger. This
saves you the time of manually filtering data for each series after
readout. |
| Scaling at Launch |
*
|
*
|
Scaling allow
you to convert raw logger data to measurement units. Linear, and Pulse
scaling are avaiable from the Launch Screen |
| |

|
Description |
| Readout and open-file time-saving options |
*
|
|
This feature allows you
to skip a number of default actions when reading out a logger (such as
being prompted to saving or the Plot Setup window). |
| Save (Project) Changes |
*
|
*
|
A project file (.hproj)
is a plot that you have customized using the various features and tools
of HOBOware. When you open a project file, the plot appears as it did

| Graph Labels |
*
|
*
|
You can add multiple labels to a graph to identify specific points or call attention to a region of the graph |
| Zooming, Panning, and Smart Scaling Plots |
*
|
*
|
You can adjust the viewing area of the plot by zooming, panning, and smart scaling |
| Pie Charts |
*
|
|
Pie charts for loggers with state
series that you can view, print, and save as .png files for additional
analysis beyond line graphs. This is especially helpful for light and
occupancy data from UX90-005x and -006x loggers |
| Copy a Series |
*
|
*
|
This allows you to Copy a series
from one plot to another. This also allows you to combine synchronous
and asynchronous data sets. |
| Overlaying a series |
*
|
*
|
This allows you to compare data with different time axis |
| Cropping a series |
*
|
|
This feature allows you to remove data from a series by changing the time frame. You can crop one or multiple series in a plot |
| Merging data files |
*
|
*
|
This feature allows you to combine
multiple datafiles from a deployment into one file. Note that only
series of the same type and name can be merged and there cannot be an
overlap in the time in the series |
| Filters to extract key series information |
*
|
*
|
A filter allows you to calculate
additional values, such as maximum, minimum, average, or total, over a
time frame. For example, one can calculate the Total On Time per Hour or
Day. |
| Subset Statistics Tool |
*
|
|
The Subset Statistics feature
allows you to select a range of data in a graph, and display the
maximum, minimum, average and standard deviation for the measurements in
that range |
| Dissolved Oxygen Data Assistant |
*
|
|
This corrects for measurement drift
from fouling and provides salinity-adjusted DO concentration as well as
percent saturation data |
| Conductivity Data Assistant |
*
|
|
This provides easy conversion to
specific conductance and salinity and enables start/end-point
calibration to compensate for any fouling |
| Growing Degree Days Data Assistant |
*
|
|
Growing Degree Days is a
measurement of growth potential given historical temperature data. It
can be a measure of crop or pest maturity, given the input parameters |
| Grains Per Pound Data Assistant |
*
|
|
Also known as Humidity Ratio or Mixing Ratio, Grains Per Pound is a measure of the mass in grains of H2O in otherwise dry air |
| Barometric Compensation Data Assistant |
*
|
|
The Barometric Compensation
Assistant compensates water level measurements for barometric pressure
using HOBOware or text barometric files |
| Linear Scaling Data Assistant |
*
|
*
|
Linear scaling allows you to convert raw logger data to measurement units |
| Pulse Scaling Data Assistant |
*
|
*
|
Pulse scaling allows you to convert data recorded from a third-party pulse output sensor to the actual measurement units |
| kWh Assistant |
*
|
|
The kWh Assistant converts logged pulse to kWh, average kW, and energy cost with WattNode, Veris, or other energy transducers |

HOBOnode Manager for ZW Data Nodes
|
Pro-Only
|
HOBOnode
Manager is the software tool within HOBOware Pro for setting up and
managing a ZW wireless data network, which consists of a receiver, data
nodes, and router nodes |
| Logging and Connection Intervals |
*
|
You have the ability to adjust the recording & connection intervals with 1 minute being the quickest |
| Labels |
*
|
Labels can be applied to Data Nodes and individual sensors for easier data management |
| Groups |
*
|
Group Labels can be applied to Data Nodes for easier data management when Exporting & Plotting the recorded data. |
| Scaling |
*
|
Scaling allow you to convert raw logger data to measurement units for 3rd party sensors |
| Real-Time Plots |
*
|
In the plots window, you can view sensor data in real-time plots |
| Device table |
*
|
The Device Table displays
information about the receiver and each node and configured sensor in
your network including labels, battery status, signal strength, the
latest measurment & alarm status |
| Network Map |
*
|
Place icons on the Network Map to
help you keep track of your devices. You can expand Information Balloons
on the device to view status information and sensor readings. You can
also import a custom background image, such as a floor plan |
| Alarms |
*
|
There are two types of alarms in
HOBOnode Manager: sensor alarms and system alarms. With sensor alarms,
you can set an alarm to trip when a sensor reading is out of a range you
specify. With system alarms, you can set an alarm to trip when a node
is missing from the network or has a low battery |
| Plotting & Export Data |
*
|
Using the Plot/Export Wireless Data
capability, you can plot data directly in HOBOware or you can export it
to a text or .csv file to open in another program for further analysis.
You can pinpoint the exact data you wish to plot or export, allowing
you to view data from current and/or previous network deployments, •
specific data nodes, a subset of certain sensors from selected data
nodes, groups of data nodes as configured in HOBOnode Manager and a
specific date range or timeframe |
| Automated Data Delivery |
*
|
With data delivery, you can
automatically save recorded sensor data from nodes in your network to a
single .txt, .csv, or .xls file on a regular schedule. This allows you
to store data from your current data node network deployment for future
reference and analysis or access data remotely when you are away from
the network by sending it automatically to a FTP site, email address or a
Network drive on your Local Area Network. |
| HOBOnode Viewer |
*
|
You can view plots and data from your HOBO data node network on your Local Area Network with HOBOnode Viewer |
