Data Assistants Setup and Status Checks

Installing Data Assistants

Before starting, make sure you have the .jar file. This can be downloaded from the link provided to you by Onset Computer Corporation, or obtained from the product CD. (Important: If you have the CD, you must copy the file from the CD to your computer before proceeding.)

1. From HOBOware Preferences, click the “Setup Assistant” button.
2. Proceed through the Setup Assistant to the Data Assistants screen.
3. Click the “Load New Data Assistant…” button.
4. In the resulting file dialog, locate the .jar file, select it, and click
   “Open”. The new Data Assistant should now be installed in HOBOware, and
   should appear in the list of installed Data Assistants.
5. Proceed through the rest of the HOBOware Setup Assistant and click “Done”.

You can also install the Assistant by opening a datafile, as follows:

1. Open any HOBOware datafile (.hobo or .dtf).
2. If the Data Assistants pane is closed, open it by clicking on the arrow.
3. Click the “Load…” button.
4. In the resulting file dialog, locate the .jar file, select it, and click “Open”.
   If the new assistant is compatible with the series in this datafile, it will be added
   to the list of available assistants. If it is not compatible with the series in this
   datafile, it will still be loaded into HOBOware, but will not be visible until you
   open a datafile with a compatible set of series.
