SFCN Water Temperature Monitoring Standard Operating Procedure WT02: Launch HOBO Temperature Pro v2 Logger—Version 1.1
South Florida/Caribbean Network. 2020. SFCN Water Temperature Monitoring Standard Operating Procedure WT02: Launch HOBO Temperature Pro v2 Logger—Version 1.1. National Park Service
This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes the steps to be taken to launch the HOBO® loggers. After a logger has passed the cold-water bath test (SOP WT01 Testing the Precision of HOBO® Loggers in a Cold Bath—Version 1.1 [SFCN 2020]), it may be stored before deployment in the field. Spare loggers that have passed the tests in SOP WT01 are often taken along in the field kit when visiting a site to be deployed if a replacement logger is needed. Such a situation may arise if a field logger is missing or if there is a problem or error in the data transfer. Prior to deployment the logger must be launched. These procedures can be performed with the loggers connected to either the base station or the waterproof shuttle. These devices can be connected to a laptop or desktop computer; therefore, this procedure can be conducted in the office or in the field.
