Overview
The Onset HOBO MicroRX Station for HOBOnet provides continuous logging for both indoor and outdoor environments with wireless sensor motes and up to five smart sensors. Logged data from the station is transferred at regular connection intervals to HOBOlink web-based software in order to check the latest conditions, view graphs, configure sensors and alarms, set up a dashboard, download data, or schedule data delivery via email or FTP. This durable, compact station has a built-in LCD screen to check the current system configuration and status, start and stop logging, add and remove sensors, and connect to HOBOlink on demand.
Power Source Options
The station offers two primary power source options depending on deployment needs: the RX2105 model includes user-replaceable AA lithium batteries and an AC adapter, while the RX2106 model is designed with a built-in solar panel and rechargeable NiMH battery pack.

PME miniDOT Logger: Plunge into Data
The PME miniDOT Logger is a compact data logger that measures dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature down to 100 meters in depth. The unit can also endure low water temperatures and is durable underneath an ice layer, which is excellent for gathering essential winter water quality data that is lacking from using less robust equipment. The high depth rating and ability to withstand frigid temperatures make the PME a reliable device that is deployable in dramatically different environments, such as a monitoring well, an inland lake or an underwater cave. 
 
The logger itself features an optical DO sensor, temperature sensor, two AA lithium batteries and a micro SD memory card.

From watersheds that provide drinking water, the rain that nourishes plants, to the streams and rivers that help aquatic ecosystems flourish, water is an ever-present and ever-essential part of life. For those like Durelle Scott, a professor of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech University, understanding the importance of these natural systems was always a part of life. 
 
The desire to preserve the nation's aquatic resources stems from a childhood spent exploring the lakes and streams that surrounded him growing up in rural Pennsylvania. Now, as a teacher and a researcher, Scott makes it a priority to ensure that people now and in the future appreciate the enormous impact that aquatic ecosystems have on their lives. “I would say that water connects us all.

The Lufft WS800 Multi-Parameter Weather Station measures a full suite of atmospheric parameters that provides all-encompassing data on the local environment, including a one-of-a-kind lightning detector. This compact, cost-effective sensor simultaneously measures air temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation, solar radiation, lightning, and wind with an integrated electronic compass. An internal fan and heater reduce the effects of external influences for accurate measurements during long-term deployments. The sensor can be easily mounted on a 2-inch diameter pipe above any local obstructions with the included bracket mount, U-bolts, and 10-meter cable. 
 
 Settings for the unit can be adjusted using the latest UMB-ConfigTool.
