HOBOware and the HOBOnode Manager seems sluggish

HOBOware and the HOBOnode Manager seems sluggish and/or my computer's memory and CPU seem very low. What can I do to improve performance? The following steps can be taken to improve performance of HOBOware when using the HOBOnode product:

• Use 4 Hr view for plots, which will reduce memory usage and processor load. If you need to view real time data for the past day or week, make sure to switch back to 4 Hr view after you are done.
• Reduce the number of sensors plotted in the HOBOnode Manager's real time plots. This reduction significantly reduces memory usage and increases responsiveness.
• If you don't care to view Hobonode Manager data, close this window and the HOBOware window itself. Be sure to leave the HOBOware Device Communication running in the system tray. This change will significantly reduce memory usage and processor load.
• Don't open too many plots in the main HOBOware window. Close open plots when they are no longer useful. Limit the time range of plots. All of these suggestions reduce memory usage.
