Main advantages:

Simple and independent:

The DataSnap is first and foremost an SDI-12 data logger, accommodating up to ten SDI-12 soil moisture sensors. The DataSnap is compatible with all soil water content sensors that communicate using the SDI-12 protocol.® It sets a new standard for ease of use. Just connect an SDI-12 sensor and click a button. It requires no SDI-12 programming knowledge. Adding Acclima’s highly accurate soil moisture probes is even easier as the DataSnap will find all attached Acclima sensors with the click of a button.

Easy to use:

The DataSnap, with its companion Windows® software, SnapView, allows a user to easily take manual readings at any time. SnapView also simplifies DataSnap configuration and synchronization via USB. It can manage multiple DataSnap connections and retrieve real-time sensor data from each.SnapView provides options for viewing data in table or graph formats. Data is easily exported for use in other analytical applications. SnapView is compatible with any Windows® PC (XP or newer).
