Plots with series which logged over the Spring or Fall time change will not display the time change. If you are using a file to barometrically compensate data from another file, the barometric data must have been logged in the same time zone as the data in the file that is being compensated. If you attempt to use files of differing time zones you will receive an error message. Occasionally HOBOware may report that communications with the logger failed just retry the operation. If you select a series on the graph while the Details tree is expanded, HOBOware will highlight the correct column in the Points pane but may not highlight the correct line in the Details pane. If memory gets too low, the points table may not draw itself. Try closing any open plots. This should not occur until at least 1,000,000 data points are displayed. If the logger you plug in has never been seen by your computer before, the Found New Hardware balloon will appear next to the Windows Taskbar and any default

action on plug will not work. If you wait until the system informs you the device is ready and unplug the logger and plug it back in, the default action on plug will then happen.
