Data Assistants

Data Assistants HOBOware Pro

HOBOware Data Assistansts

Onset is continuing to develop user-friendly Data Assistants to make analysis of your data even easier. Most Data Assistants are included with standard releases of HOBOware Pro, such as Conductivity, Barometric Compensation, Linear Scaling, Pulse Scaling, kWh Assistant, Growing Degree Days, and Grains Per Pound.

Conductivity assistant

Conductivity

The Conductivity assistant provides easy conversion to specific conductance and salinity and enables start/end-point calibration to compensate for any fouling. Available for free download.Download
Growing Degree Days

Growing Degree Days

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. Available for free download.Download
Grains Per Pound

Grains Per Pound

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. Available for free download.Download
Barometric Compensation

Barometric Compensation

The Barometric Compensation Assistant compensates water level measurements for barometric pressure using HOBOware or text barometric files. Available for free download.Download

Linear Scaling Linear Scaling
Linear scaling allows you to convert raw logger data to measurement units or to calibrate sensor readings. Two raw values and the corresponding measurement values are entered to obtain the linear scaling relationship. This is useful for third-party sensors that output voltage or current, as well as calibration of leaf wetness and soil moisture sensors. Available for free download.Download
Pulse Scaling

Pulse Scaling

Pulse scaling allows you to convert data recorded from a third-party pulse output sensor to the actual measurement units. This is useful for third-party rain gauges, flow meters, etc. Available for free download.Download
kWh Assistant

kWh Assistant

The kWh Assistant uses a pulse series to produce one or more of the following: Energy used per interval (in kWh), Average Power per interval (in kW), and Usage Cost. The assistant requires knowledge of the type of Energy Transducer and Current Transformer (CT) used. Available for free download.Download

BoxCar

BoxCar Pro 4.3 upgrade

BoxCar Pro 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 to BoxCar Pro 4.3 upgrade (11.5 MB)


Note: this Product Installation Code IS REQUIRED: 4C4-508759950.


This archive contains:


  1. the file to upgrade for using the new HOBO Weather Station, HOBO Water Temp Pro, and HOBO LCD loggers.
  2. low battery warning for the HOBO Shuttle and upgrade for PCs with power saving function. Download the software upgrade to assure successful logger launch. Without the upgrade, the PC's power-saving mode can signal the unit to discontinue logging immediately after launch resulting in loss of data.
  3. corrects a data export problem in which BoxCar Pro 4.2.10 displays exported data without a fractional part, ie., digits to the right of the decimal point were not displayed.

BoxCar Pro for Mac

  1. BoxCar Pro for MacOS is an unreleased application that has been made available on the internet in its current, untested form at the request of customers who wish to use Onset's newest logger models on their MacOS computers.
