HOBO Data Logger Software Applications Support & Downloads

HOBO applications and case studies

In today's data-driven and internet-based world, terms such as "data acquisition" and "data logger" come up again and again. However, not everyone is clear about the exact meaning. Many people define data logging as the electronic collection of information in the environment, such as temperatures, relative humidity or energy consumption. This is correct as far as it goes, but these are only some of the areas in which data loggers are used.

The type of data logger, the areas in which they are useful and why it makes sense to use them are explained in the manual below. It also introduces you to the world of electronic data loggers and data acquisition.

You will also find examples and helpful information on evaluating data loggers and you will realize that electronic data loggers should become part of your equipment.

Five things you should know about data loggers

HOBO Produkte

Agriculture

Agricultural research

Advancing agricultural knowledge requires a certain level of expertise and data to improve farming methods and thereby increase quality. Accurate and reliable information is used to reduce irrigation costs, increase yields and ensure better use of land.

Environmental monitoring for environmental research and environmental protection

Environmental research

Environmental research serves to protect the natural environment and investigates its external conditions and the effects on the environment for which humans are responsible. Environmental research correlates facts in order to create a basis for action to protect the environment and for precautionary measures.

Climate monitoring and energy efficiency of buildings

Monitoring air quality

People spend most of their private and professional lives indoors. Indoor air quality is therefore of great importance as it has a direct impact on our health. Continuous monitoring with data loggers helps to find solutions and ways to improve air quality.

Monitoring of HVAC/C systems

HVAC/R systems are systems that control heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration. The aim of monitoring these systems is to achieve better performance in terms of air quality and thermal comfort. The monitoring systems provide feedback and insights to initiate improvements.

Energy audits

Energy audits are carried out at regular intervals and are mandatory for large companies. They are used to find out where a lot of energy is consumed in the company and where there is potential for savings. The audits help to increase energy efficiency and determine a reduction in energy costs.

Conservation

Conservation is an essential task for museums, archives and libraries. Optimal environmental conditions must be created for the transmission of cultural and scientific collections to future generations in order to preserve the "memory of mankind".

Water management and hydrology

Hydrology/ Coastal ecology

Hydrology is the science of water. It examines environmental conditions and constant changes in water level and flow data, for example in groundwater systems and coastal regions. Coastal areas are very diverse and provide a habitat for various plants and creatures. In order to understand the conditions there, they are monitored with data loggers.

Monitoring water quality

In water quality, a distinction is made between water quality, which describes the quality of water in its natural environment, and quality for specific uses, such as drinking water. To protect ecosystems, water quality and water levels are monitored in order to make decisions regarding water management and water conservation.
