Logging will not begin until the next time the station
connects to HOBOlink. Press the Connect button on the
station to connect to HOBOlink at any time.
Once logging begins, “Logging” appears in the upper right
corner of the LCD as shown in the following example.
“Logging” will blink until the first logging sample is
recorded. At that point, it will stop blinking and remain
illuminated until logging is stopped. Also note that the
channels count on the LCD screen will be updated to
include any analog sensors that were enabled in HOBOlink.
