HOBO U12 Deep Ocean Temp Logger

The HOBO U12 Deep Ocean Temp Logger tracks ocean temperatures at extreme depths.

The water temperature data logger is suitable for deep-water oceanographers looking for an easy-to-use, robust logger that can provide good performance in corrosive saltwater environments. The logger can measure water temperatures from -40 to 125°C and features a virtually indestructible titanium housing and a 3-year battery. Typical applications for the data logger include tracking hydrothermal vent activities and ocean circulation studies.

Water temperature data collected with the device can be quickly and easily offloaded to a PC or Mac computer via a direct USB interface. The data logger can also offload to Onset’s HOBO U-Shuttle, a handheld data transport device that makes it easy to readout and re-launch the logger in the field without a laptop computer.

Onset’s HOBOware Pro software makes it easy to graph and analyse water temperature data. Settings are configured using simple, intuitive windows, and the software provides a number of time-saving features that make it fast and easy to set up and offload many data loggers. HOBOware Pro also makes it easy to combine data sets from multiple loggers and provides for data export to Microsoft Excel and other programs.
