May 14, 2009 — Onset Computer announced a range of plug-in AC current sensors for use with HOBO U12-006 data loggers. The sensor suite – manufactured by Veris Industries and sold directly through Onset – includes five compact, self-powered transducers that can easily be attached to pumps, motors, and other equipment from which AC load trending data is required. The sensors plug directly into the external input jacks of HOBO U12-006 data loggers, which are able to log current and amperage measurements unattended for days, weeks or months at a time. For plotting and analyzing current data, Onset offers HOBOware software, an intuitive graphing and analysis software package for PC and Mac computers.
HOBOware provides a user-friendly graphical user interface that enables users to quickly and easily graph, analyze and print data files, as well as export the data to Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs. The current sensors, which range in price from $90 - $115, are available directly from Onset. The HOBO U12-006 data logger is $105, and HOBOware software is priced from $45.
