HOBO U12 Outdoor/Industrial Data Logger

Onset Computer Corporation, the leader in reliable, battery-powered data loggers and weather stations, today introduced the HOBO U12 Outdoor/Industrial Data Logger, a high-accuracy, four-channel logger for monitoring temperature and other parameters in outdoor environments. As an enhanced version of the company’s popular HOBO H8 Outdoor/Industrial model, the HOBO U12 provides research scientists and others with a number of important new features:

• 12-bit resolution – enables high-accuracy measurements and compatibility with a broad range of external third-party sensors.
• Flexible software support – users can choose either Windows or Mac OS X software to plot and analyze data collected with HOBO U12 Outdoor/Industrial loggers.
• Direct USB interface – enables high-speed data offload (43,000 measurements in as little as 30 seconds).

The HOBO U12 Outdoor/Industrial also features a NEMA 6-rated weatherproof enclosure, and accepts Onset’s plug-in temperature probes, as well as a broad range of third-party sensors with 0-2.5V or 4-20mA outputs.
For data plotting and analysis, Onset offers GreenLine™ software (for Windows), and HOBOware™ software (for Macintosh). These software packages enable users to launch and readout HOBO U12 loggers with point-and-click simplicity, and offer a number of other convenient features, such as one-click conversion of data for easy upload into spreadsheet applications and the ability to view multiple channels from a single logger on one graph.
