Overview
HOBOware Pro Software facilitates easy launch and readout of HOBO USB data loggers as well as flexible plotting of data. Data can be exported for more in-depth analysis using other programs including spreadsheets. The software allows users to set launch parameters. These settings include:
- Toggling channels to record
- Setting sample intervals and start type (immediate, delayed, interval, or triggered)
- Monitoring battery level
- Synchronizing logger clocks to the computer clock
Graphing Potential
With the graphing capability, users can view multiple parameters from a single logger on one graph, zoom in on data of interest, set axes ranges, display data in different formats, and display recorded events in graphs or file exports. Users can also verify logger operation before launch or during logging, as well as display real-time sensor readings, memory used, and battery voltage.
Data Conversion
One-click conversion allows for easy data upload into Microsoft Excel software or other programs. Windows and Mac versions are included. The Windows version offers enhanced features that allow for the combination of data from multiple loggers or deployments, saving of current data for future use, linear scaling for external inputs, listing of recently accessed files, and automatic internet updates.

Three Decades of Research at Acton Lake
A multi-disciplinary team at Miami University, Ohio, has been studying the environmental change at Acton Lake for over three decades. Using three different NexSens buoys over this time, the team has an incredible archive of data that is helping build a picture of Acton’s past, present, and future. Until recently, a NexSens CB-50 buoy was used alongside other environmental monitoring at Acton Lake. In May 2025, the Miami team deployed a new XB-200 buoy , future-proofing their ongoing monitoring using real-time buoy systems. Acton Lake, a small hypereutrophic reservoir in southwest Ohio, covers 2.4km² and has a maximum depth of about 8m. The dam was built in 1956, and the lake has a large agricultural watershed.

Source Water Monitoring in Albany, New York: Tracing Water Quality throughout Tributaries
Thousands of US cities pull their drinking water from natural source waters like reservoirs, rivers, and streams, making overall watershed health a key consideration for water providers. In Albany, New York, the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply delivers drinking water to over 100,000 residents as well as monitors and manages the larger drinking water supply watershed. Hannah Doherty, Environmental Specialist at the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply , spends her days working with a small team to monitor the drinking supply and the connected water bodies. Doherty explains, “We’re the first to encounter the water that ends up being the drinking water.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute
Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.
