The HOBO U30 Remote Montoring System is a remote data logging and monitoring device with built-in Ethernet communications that can be easily reconfigured and adapted to a wide variety of applications. Up to 15 channels of data can be recorded and monitored remotely via HOBOlink™. Or, use HOBOware® Pro software to set up analog data channels, communicate with the logger locally, and further plot and export data files downloaded from HOBOlink for analysis.
Note: The HOBO U30 requires high-speed internet access and a data plan with HOBOlink.com, an Onset-hosted and managed web server.
In addition, you can set alarms to trip for specific sensor readings that you select or for overall system conditions, such as when the memory or battery is running low. See the HOBOlink Demo
