The rugged housing is designed to withstand the rigors of real-world handling, providing reliable performance despite bumps, drops, and use under desks.IMPORTANT: This HOBO data logger requires HOBOware software and a communications device. Review: Very nice wattmeter - My expectations have so far been greatly exceeded. The free software works well. I have not as yet attempted to validate the readings except to eyeball compare it to two other power meters. So far it seem at least reasonable but my impression is that it is accurate. My initial use has been to perform thermal/power qualification on gaming PC's running Blender, Cinebench, OCCT power and other such workloads. The power consumption plots collected in those workloads seem to match the system activity very well so (at the minimum) I feel confident in using it at least as a relative measure. I have attached a sample plot of the power draw of a system running Cinebench R23 on a PC that hits 40K points in the multicore workload. The plot exhibits the expected behavior though it shows an interesting and unexpected (to me) change in the RMS voltage over time. There are two main reasons I wanted this device. (1) my UPS seems to be shutting down due to excessive load om overnight OCCT thermal testing. I want to record the power draw of the UPS to insure that the power is not shutting off. I also want to record the power draw of the system itself to better understand the circumstances. Notes: (0) The construction and quality is quite good though it is a bit expensive considering what is provided. (1) I will eventually try to run the software on Linux under Wine. I believe it should just work. (2) It comes with two AAA batteries preinstalled. The manual claims these should last for 6 months in the worst case. This is good because annoyingly, you have to significantly dismantle the power measurement unit to replace the batteries. (3) As far as I can see, there is no simple means of implementing a scripted start and stop of a measurement. (4) This meter will be good for monitoring PC power consumption whilst gaming. It should at least be useful determine whether there is a power aspect of game crashes. (5) the fastest sample rate is one per second. I'd like it to be faster. (6) I suppose the name HOBO is acronym for something. :) Review: Almost a POWER ANALYZER for very reasonable cost!! - The unit does everything its advertised to do. But I was very surprised by two things: (1) the unit itself is so intuitive, that almost anyone can use it without reading the users manual; but don't- the manual has some very interesting info that you would not know without reading; and (2) the most surprising aspect of the kit is how user friendly, robust, and powerful the software that the unit uploads to is. This is what really makes the unit extremely valuable as a data logger. You have lots of options as to what to log, how frequently, etc, as well as what to view, how to view it and so on once uploaded to a PC. The graphing software adds all kinds of annotations to the graph, like start/stop time, power glitches, etc, as well as several types of zoom capability. ## Features - 0.5% measurement accuracy enables more reliable plug load energy data - "Meter Mode" provides instant viewing of real-time plug load variables - Provides time-stamped and totalized load data for detailed energy analysis - Large memory enables faster logging intervals for more comprehensive plug load profiles - Battery back-up ensures logged data remains intact in the event of a power outage or load failure ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00O96NRE2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #277,823 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #96 in Industrial Data Loggers | | Brand | Onset | | Brand Name | Onset | | Color | Black, Gray | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 17 Reviews | | Included Components | UX120-018 | | Item Dimensions | 3 x 1.87 x 5.5 inches | | Item Weight | 8.16 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 3 x 1.87 x 5.5 inches | | Manufacturer | ONSET COMPUTER CORP | | Measurement Type | Ammeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 120 volts | | Model | UX120-018 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | UX120-018 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Specification Met | UL | | Style | Handheld | | Style Name | Handheld | | UPC | 638267617138 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Onset - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Style:** Foldable UV/White Beam - **Color:** Black, Gray - **Item Weight:** 8.16 ounces ## Images ![HOBO by Onset UX120-018 Data Logger - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51j8bUD8qFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I want to record power outages and hopefully sags/surges in an AC outlet, not necessarily under load. Can it do this?** A: This logger is designed to monitor energy usage of a period of time. It is not designed to capture transient events like sudden sags or surges. **Q: What electrical values does it collect? just watts? of kwh, current volts?** A: The UX120-018 data logger supports the following measurements: AC Current, AC Voltage, Amps (A), Kilowatt Hours (kWh), Power Factor (PF), Volt-Amps (VA), Volts (V), Watt Hours (Wh) and Watts (W). **Q: What type of usb cable is needed to connect to the logger? micro usb? mini usb? proprietary?** A: The logger requires a type A to mini B standard USB cable. They are very common and widely available. **Q: Where is the pro software (as in specific url)? The download site deosn't seem to work.** A: The pro software is paid software, you'll need to purchase from Hoboware. The standard software is what is free on their website. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice wattmeter *by E***A on June 15, 2023* My expectations have so far been greatly exceeded.
