Hi Andy -
We are about 2 months into our 'HOBO' era. So far, I
have had excellent luck with them. They are accurate,
pretty user-friendly, and possess the capability of
being tailored in several ways to your needs. I use
both the H8 Famil:temp/RH, $85, and the HOBO LCD
temp/RH loggers, $189. I have the LCD monitors in
locations where a visual readout is necessary, and the
others in locations that I monitor on a bi-weekly
basis. I also use the HOBO Shuttle, $159, to download
the data from the loggers, but this does not work for
the LCD loggers (so I just bring them back to my desk
and download them.) The print-outs are easy to
understand, and the software ($95) is too. Let me
know if I can answer any more questions!
regards,
Fay Bisbee
