  • This release of HOBOware corrects a problem for the MX1102 CO2 Logger that was launched with HOBOmobile v1.9.1. The header of the logger will now be read correctly.
  • The "Import Text File from HOBOlink..." File menu item has been removed. You can still import HOBOlink text files that were downloaded some other way.

  • Six new analog Air Velocity sensors can be used with the H22-001, U12-008, -012, -013 and the UX120-006M loggers. The new model numbers are T-DCI-F300-1A3, -1B3, -1C3, T-DCI-F350-W5A3, -W5B3 and -W5C3. This means that once HOBOware 3.7.14 is installed on a Windows computer, older versions of HOBOware (prior to v3.7.14) will not work correctly.
  • Fourteen new configuration files for the new Air Velocity sensors were also added.
  • A new ultrasonic Wind Speed and Wind Direction Smart Sensor, S-WCG, has been added.
  • New firmware updates are available for:
    • MX1102 (Temperature/Humidity/CO2 Logger) now at version 182

Mac users are still responsible for installing a compatible version of Java themselves.
  • You can now import text data with Water Pressure (with column heading "water pres") and Temperature (with column heading "temp") and can use the Barometric Compensation Assistant on that data.

Bug fixes:

  • An error introduced in HOBOware 3.7.13 when exporting to Excel XLSX files caused the time to be displayed as Eastern Daylight Time Zone (GMT-4). Now, the time zone currently in effect on the computer doing the export is used.
  • Merging datafiles on the Macintosh would sometimes stop and hang the computer with no error message. This has been fixed.
  • An error introduced in HOBOware 3.7.13 caused Project files with Event, State and Filtered series to fail to load the entire Project. This has been fixed.

  • Support for the new MX2200-series Water Temperature Loggers has been added. HOBOware can read HOBO files created with the data from a MX2200-series deployment.
  • The Alarm & Readout Tool does not (and will not) work with Java 9.

    • Barometric Compensation Assistant (updated to version 2.6)
    • Linear Scaling Assistant (updated to version 2.7)

Improvement for launching Optic Loggers in HOBOware 3.7.8

A more comprehensive method is used to find and correct errors when launching a logger that may have unreliable communications. This is the situation with Optic loggers that may have damaged or dirty cases or be misaligned in the coupler like the UA-series Pendant loggers, UTBI-series TidbiT loggers, U20 Water Level loggers, U22 Water Temperature loggers, U23Temp/RH loggers, U24 Conductivity/Salinity logger and U26 Dissolved Oxygen logger.

Not only does HOBOware correct the errors it can but it warns you about a possible bad connection so you can clean the logger case or check if it needs repair.

OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and U30, Waterproof Shuttle and RX3000

A bug in early releases of Apple’s OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) causes failures in Onset U30 USB Weather Station, HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station data loggers and the Waterproof Shuttle (U-DTW-1) USB communications. But this problem was fixed in OS X 10.11.4 (release 4) so we highly recommend that if you are using OS X 10.11 that you update to the latest version of that operating system.

  • A bug was found in HOBOware 3.7.6 right after its release. It prevented the Barometric Compensation Assistant and the Dissolved Oxygen Assistant from using text files for barometric compensation. Now, text files may be used as barometric compensation in those Data Assistants as they were in earlier versions of HOBOware.

  • We have added Simplified Chinese to the list of languages that HOBOware can handle.
  • A new firmware update, Version 24, is available for UX100 series loggers. This update prevents a potential battery reset issue which could result in logging being stopped prematurely. We strongly recommend that you perform this update on your UX100 loggers.
  • HOBOware Help has been restructured to work with HTML5.
  • HOBOware can now handle Unicode characters in users' Home folder name.

  • Support was added for reading. HOBO datafiles from the new HOBO Direct Read Water Level logger (MX2001-xx) and plotting the data, showing the data in table format and displaying details about the device and the launch. HOBOware cannot launch, read out or check the status of this new logger.
  • RX3000 Manager now displays a list of attached sensors in a Conditions panel, similar to HOBOlink, and allows collection and display of readings for each sensor. For analog sensors, only the measured voltage or current is available, not the configured engineering units for the sensor. Also, the dew point temperature for a Temp/RH sensor is not available. NOTE: The latest version of Java 8 is required for this functionality.
  • A new firmware update (version 171) has been added for the MX1102 (CO2) logger.
  • Support has been added for new Rainfall, Wind Speed and Wind Direction Smart Sensors You can now use the S-RGC-M002 (US units) Rain Gauge, S-RGD-M002 (Metric units) Rain Gauge and the S-WCF-M003 combined wind speed/gust/direction sensor.
  • The Onset Computer Corporation Software License Agreement is now copied to the user's computer during installation. On Windows installations, it can be found in the "HOBOware Public Files" folder in the Public Documents folder (\Users\Public\Public Documents\HOBOware Public Files). On OS X installations, it can be found in the HOBOware folder in the User's Documents folder (/Users/<user>/Documents/HOBOware).

(Note: HOBOware 3.2.0 is an English-only release. In addition, HOBOware 3.2 is not yet compatible with the Alarm and Readout Tool. Onset will release an update soon to address the issue.)

  • A redesigned launch window for quick logger configuration and easy sensor setup.
  • Faster processing times for opening large data files (512K and up).
  • The ability to create filtered series when launching the logger, which allows you to automatically generate custom series, such as average temperature per day, when you read out the logger and plot data.
  • Support for the new HOBO 4-Channel Pulse Input Data Logger (UX120-017x), including advanced sensor configuration for setting maximum pulse frequency and lockout times as needed in raw pulse channels.
  • Support for the new Onset Energy and Power Meter (T-VER-E50B2), including single-step configuration with the HOBO 4-Channel Pulse Input Data Logger (UX120-017x) and automatic calculation of numerous additional data series for analysis.
  • Support for the new HOBO Conductivity/Salinity Logger (U24-002).
  • The option to disable logging the battery channel by default on some loggers, which can extend battery life and memory space.

  • A change was made to the way data from command responses for some loggers is processed, to correct a problem that caused loggers with certain sensor serial numbers not to be launched.  This change affects the H21 Weather Station & Micro Station, H22 Energy Logger, and HOBO U30.  We recommend that all users of those logger types install this update to HOBOware.
  • This release contains both English and French content throughout.

  • Fix for a bug where some channels from U-Series loggers showed up as Raw when plotted.
  • Addition of French language content in the software and documentation.

  • File and series merging - combining data from multiple files into one file, and merging series from the same sensor/logger into one data series.
  • Additional toolbar icons for opening Filter and Add Graph Label windows
  • Ability to export directly to .xls (Excel) format
  • Option to submit a technical support request to Onset directly from the Help menu, which will automatically include log files that will be needed in the case of a problem.
