SOLAR DataSnap SDI-12 data logger

All Weather Outdoor Logger

Researchers Love Acclima Technology!

Find out why by reading what the research says.

The Acclima SolarSnap is the cheapest standalone SDI-12 universal data logger available on the market today. 

Fully compatible with Acclima TDR and TDT Sensors.

 

features

  • Accommodates up to 10 SDI-12 sensors

  • Connect sensor & click button

  • No SDI-12 programming knowledge required

  • Adding Acclima sensors is even easier - SolarSnap will find all attached Acclima sensors with the click of your Laptop button.

  • Take manual readings any time when connected to Laptop

When used in conjunction with Acclima's Patented Soil Moisture Sensors, the most accurate and stable sensors in the industry, you are able to capture the following data:

  1. Soil Moisture

  2. Soil Temperature

  3. Soil Conductivity

  4. Soil Permittivity

What’s Included

  • SolarSnap data logger

  • Acclima SnapView software

  • 1m USB A/B cable

  • 300mm piece of schedule 40 PVC pipe for mounting in ground

 

Data Storage Space:

A SolarSnap with 10 configured Acclima moisture sensors, reading sensors every 30 minutes can store up to 4 months worth of data. To increase the time span of the logged data, reduce the number of sensors or take readings less often.

5 sensors = 8 months storage.

When the SolarSnap’s memory is full it will erase a few of the oldest readings and write the new readings. This means the SolarSnap will not stop logging when its memory is full. But data that was replaced is permanently lost.

Connectivity:

SolarSnap connects to your PC and our powerful SnapView software via USB.

  

Bundled SnapView Software

Configures Captures and Analyses all your SolarSnap data.

Acclima SnapView software simplifies SolarSnap configuration and synchronisation via USB. It can manage multiple SolarSnap 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™ based PC (XP or newer).

Data logging of the first 5 datapoints of the SDI-12 M! command.
USB to SDI-12 Bridge
Supports powering sensors from the USB bus (5V only)
Supports an optional 12V power adapter
Short circuit protection
Acclima SnapView software provided
Compatible with terminal software applications like HyperTerminal or PuTTy

Data Storage Space:
Total Memory Capacity = 59392 Sensor Scans
Each sensor scan may contain up to 5 data points
The estimated storage capacity of the SolarSnap's memory is dependent on the the sensor count and reading interval.

Note:  When the memory is full, the SolarSnap will replace the oldest data with the most recently collected data.  This means the SolarSnap will not stop logging when its memory is full, but old data will be permanently lost if not collected within the required time frame (see Estimated Storage Capacity).
