Tara,
 
We recently used grant funding from the NEH to replace our old "hockey
puck" HOBOs with Onset's new UX100-011 models.  I debated between
on-line and standalone models as well, but after attending some
webinars, I decided that wireless wouldn't work for us.  I would suggest
the following resources as you try to make that determination for your
own institution:

Hello everyone,
I’m looking into replacing our dataloggers because several have gone
out of calibration tolerance in the last year.  What we have now are
Onset HOBO dataloggers for temperature/relative humidity.  I did a
little research and I find that our exact models are no longer
available, and there are a number of models available now.  but I have
no idea which ones to get.  I don’t know whether to get ones with
internal or external sensors or both, or ones that are web-based or
stand-alone.  We currently use Boxcar Pro 4.3, and  I think it might be
wise to stick with something that works with that software, but I’ve had
trouble figuring out the best one to get.  Does anyone with expertise in
this area have an opinion?  Or can anyone recommend a different favorite
type of datalogger?  I’d appreciate your help, and feel free to contact
me by the email address below.
 
Thank you!
