To stop logging, press the Stop button. Logging stops
immediately. Note that the station does not immediately
connect when the station is stopped, but it will continue to
connect to HOBOlink at the connection interval set in
HOBOlink even if it is not logging.
To start and stop the station from HOBOlink:
1.
Click Devices and then RX Devices, and find the station you
want to start or stop. Click the arrow next to and select
