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.

Using Data Buoys to Track Sharks in Cape Cod
Despite the bad rap sharks often get in the media, they are incredibly important to marine ecosystems. Still, sharks residing in coastal, high-traffic areas can pose a risk to public safety—as a result, shark tracking and monitoring projects are often conducted in these waters. 
 
Regardless of the bad press, biologists like Gregory Skomal, a Senior Fisheries Scientist with the MA Division of Marine Fisheries, have always been interested in learning more about shark behavior for the sake of informing conservation efforts. 
 
“I was passionate about sharks as a child. I wanted to be a marine biologist, and pursued it through my education and ended up where I am today,” recalls Skomal.
