      Keep your HOBO MX data loggers and use Conserv's free environmental monitoring software — Here's how.

      Overview

      Collections are getting much better results switching from HOBOlink to Conserv's free environmental monitoring software.

      Short story, you can keep your HOBOs and use a software platform designed for preservation.

      In this article we'll review how to import HOBO data from HOBOlink and the HOBOconnect mobile app into Conserv.

      💡 If you're importing many files at once, make sure to ask about our multi-file import feature. You can import up to 20 HOBO files at once with just a few button clicks.

       

      Exporting Data from HOBOlink

      It's only a few button clicks to export your historical data from eClimateNotebook.

      1. Login to HOBOlink and navigate to the "Exports" tab in the "Data" tab
      2. Click on the "Create New Export" button.
      3. Name your export - It's a good idea to create a meaningful name before you export.
      4. Choose which data logger you want to export. You can choose all of your data loggers at once.
      5. Click the "Export Data" button to download your csv.

       

      💡 Make sure to choose the Text CSV format instead of the HOBOware CSV format. It's much simpler to import the Text CSV format to Conserv.
