Using 3rd-party barometric pressure data for compensation
HOBOware Pro's Barometric Compensation Assistant now includes the ability to import barometric pressure data from 3rd-party sources such as nearby weather stations. The data needs to be provided in a text data file, and can be in kPa, Pa, mbar, mm HG, psi, or inches Hg. For more information, see the User's Guides for the Barometric Compensation Assistant and the HOBOware Pro software (Importing Data section) or in HOBOware under Help, HOBOware Help.

Deploying a HOBO water level data logger in salt water
316 Stainless Steel has good corrosion resistance but it can be damaged by crevice corrosion in saltwater. The stainless steel versions of HOBO data loggers should not be deployed for more than 6 months (lifetime cumulative) in salt or brackish water, or the housing will eventually fail and water will damage the electronics. How long the data logger will last depends on many factors such as salinity, level of dissolved oxygen, and temperature. Biofouling can also limit deployments in saltwater, because growths on the pressure sensor will change its calibration.
