The Acclima DataSnap is the simplest standalone SDI-12 universal data logger available on the market today. While simple to use, it does not sacrifice features or functionality.

The DataSnap is first and foremost an SDI-12 data logger accommodating up to 10 SDI-12 sensors. The DataSnap is compatible with all sensors that communicate using the SDI-12 protocol. t 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 sensors is even easier as the DataSnap will find all attached Acclima sensors with the click of a button.

The DataSnap also allows a user to easily take manual readings at any time.

SnapView Software

Acclima SnapView software 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™ based PC (XP or newer).

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 DataSnap's memory is dependent on the the sensor count and reading interval. For example:

# Sensors	Reading Interval	Estimated Storage Capacity
1	15 minutes	20 months
5	20 minutes	5.5 months
10	30 minutes	4 months

Note: When the memory is full, the DataSnap will replace the oldest data with the most recently collected data. This means the DataSnap 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).

Battery Life

The optional battery pack holds 8 AA batteries.A DataSnap with 10 configured Acclima moisture sensors, reading sensors every 30 minutes can last for 1 year on a single set of batteries. This is a typical scenario and varies greatly based on the power consumption of the sensors as well as the quality of the batteries.
