HOBO® U-Shuttle (U-DT-x) Manual
13401-F MAN-UDTx
The U-DT-1 is compatible with all U-Series loggers (except the HOBO U30 Station), all UX-Series
loggers, HOBO Weather Stations and Micro Stations (H21), and the HOBO Energy Logger (H22).
The U-DT-2 is compatible with the HOBO U30 Station, HOBO Weather Stations and Micro
Stations (H21), and HOBO Energy Logger (H22).
The HOBO U-Shuttle performs the following major functions:
•
Reads out data from loggers in the field for transfer to a host computer
• Optionally relaunches the logger—synchronizes the logger’s clock with the shuttle’s
clock and (in most cases) sets logging to begin at the next interval
• Preserves data in nonvolatile memory, even if batteries are depleted
• Displays logger status, including memory, battery level, and sensor readings for some
sensors (on some models)
• Displays its own status, including clock, memory, and battery level
• Lets you change the batteries in the field without resetting the clock
• Allows you to test individual smart sensors (does not support the TRMSA-D)
