Suzanne,
The Boxcar software that comes with the HOBO loggers is really easy to 
use and surprisingly customizable. The help feature in the software as 
well as the manual that comes with it will provide you with all the 
training you need to get them running, and producing the kinds of 
reports you want. The only caution I'd make, and it shouldn't be a big 
deal, but make sure that the computer you use has the right ports for 
plugging in the interface cable. I don't know if they've changed or if 
there are other cables available now, but my logger uses a serial port 
cable. So you might have to buy an adapter to connect it via a USB port.
