From the Device menu in HOBOware, select Launch. Select the logging options and click Start. Logging will begin based on the
4
settings you selected. To use a magnet to trigger the logger to start logging, launch the logger with Using Coupler selected in
HOBOware. Once the software indicates the logger has been successfully launched, remove the logger from the coupler.
Deploy the logger. Depending on water conditions and desired measurement location, the logger should be appropriately weighted,
5
secured, and protected. The mounting bail on the logger accepts 1/8 inch (4 mm) diameter nylon cord or other strong cable. If wire
is used to secure the logger, make sure the wire loop is snug to the bail. Any slack in the loop may cause excessive wear.
If using a triggered start, bring an empty coupler or strong magnet to the deployment location. When you are ready for the logger to
start logging, insert the logger into the empty coupler (or place a strong magnet near the face of the logger) and remove it after
three seconds. The red LED on the logger will blink rapidly four times to indicate a successful triggered launch.
To read out the logger, remove it from the deployment location. Follow steps 1–3 and select Read Out from the Device menu in

HOBOware or use the Waterproof Shuttle. Refer to the HOBOware Help for complete details on reading out and viewing data.
