Connecting devices
HOBOware Lite supports HOBO U-Series data loggers, which communicate with the computer by connecting to a USB port.
You can connect most devices to the USB port by using an Onset-supplied USB interface cable. Some loggers require an optic USB base station/coupler to connect to the computer. Consult the manual that came with your device for specific information about required base stations/couplers or cables.
Tip: For instructions on using the HOBO Waterproof Shuttle as a base station, refer to the shuttle’s user guide.
