Monitoring protocols

• One-year baseline• Download monthly into an
Excel spreadsheet• Send to Kathy Peters for
compliation via the Hobo folder on MUELMER

Using Hobo monitors and software• Every library will have at
least one Hobo and software
• For those with more than one, please write the number and location ON THE HOBO in permanent marker
• Make sure each Hobo stays in its assigned place

Installing BoxCar Software
• BoxCar software allows the programming and downloading of information from the Hobos
• Installation is very simple: insert the CD-ROM and follow the instructions
• If you have problems installing the software, let Amanda or Gary know and we’ll help you get it set up

Launching Hobos
• Every software package comes with a cable to connect to a serial COM port
• If your computer does not have a serial port (new Macs, for example) let us know; we are trying to get adapters
