by Rebecca Walker — May 9, 2011—Onset Computer Corporation, a world leader in data loggers, has introduced the HOBO UX120 Pulse Logger, described by the company as a highly versatile, 4-channel energy data logger that combines the functionality of four separate data loggers into a single compact unit.
The HOBO UX120 enables energy management professionals — from energy auditors to building commissioners — to easily track building energy consumption, equipment runtimes, and water and gas flow rates. It can simultaneously measure and record pulse signals, events, state changes, and runtimes, and is capable of storing up to 4 million measurements, enabling longer deployments with fewer site visits, according to the company.
The HOBO UX120 pulse logger provides a number of features that provide users with greater control over their deployments. For example, users can start and stop the logger via software or pushbuttons, and set the logger so it continues to log/overwrite data when the memory is full. It also provides diagnostics via on-board LEDs to assure logger operation which aids the installation process, and enables high-speed data offloads via its USB 2.0 interface.
Onset’s new HOBO Power Logging System, which merges the HOBO UX120 Pulse Logger with Onset’s E50B2 Energy and Power Meter, provides a comprehensive energy and power monitoring solution, says Onset. The HOBO UX120 Pulse Logger and HOBO Power Logging System are also compatible with Onset’s HOBOware Pro 3.2 software, which combines powerful graphing and analysis capabilities with a newly-optimized interface for configuring logging options and sensors.
The HOBO UX120-017 Pulse Logger, available in standard and expanded memory versions, and the HOBO Power Logging System, are available immediately from Onset.
Based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Onset has sold more than 1.5 million data loggers since the company’s founding in 1981. Onset’s HOBO data logger and weather station products are used around the world in a broad range of applications, including building energy performance monitoring, water resources management, and ecological and agricultural research.
