Max your paper output
In the research world, success or failure hinges upon
using data analysis to arrive at the right conclusion.
Unfortunately, most data loggers force you to spend more time
collecting data than actually analyzing it. With the advent of big
data, you can't afford to be constantly fussing with complex
programming, installation headaches, data downloads, data gaps or
maintenance. You need a data logger that puts near-real-time data
at your fingertips-whenever, wherever and however you want it-so
you can maximize your paper output. Welcome to the new ZL6
universe.
The ZL6 breaks new barriers, so you can too
With the ZL6 data logger, there are no limits. That's
because we've reinvented the entire METER data logging system so
the ZL6 can be your ultimate research partner. Easier, more
advanced and more robust, the ZL6 introduces cloud-based data
delivery, Bluetooth® configuration, GPS,
firmware-over-the-air updates and integrated metadata, all which
simplify and speed up the process of data collection, management
and sharing. It does all the legwork for you, so you can spend more
time being a data visionary.
It won't make you omniscient, but it feels close
The ZL6 uses ZENTRA Cloud to deliver near-real-time data
wherever and whenever you need it. This means your grad students
can spend less time downloading data in the field, and more time
generating research papers. Accessing data on ZENTRA Cloud speeds
up your analysis by enabling you to correlate event factors, see
important trends or discover problems almost instantly, from the
comfort of your own desk. And if there's no cell service at your
site, you can still download your data via USB.
Plus, data are now incredibly easy to distribute and
share. Simply enter an email, and send an invitation. Your
collaborators can instantly see what you see. The ZL6 and ZENTRA
Cloud allow you and others to review data the way you want, whether
it's in map format, short graphs, a list or downloading to
data-analysis packages.
Good at everything, so you don't have to be
With the ZL6, you no longer have to be a specialist in
every discipline. Using the ZL6 is like having a meteorologist, a
soil physicist, and more at your disposal, allowing you more time
to focus on your specialty. How? The ZL6 connects up to six
different types of METER sensors, so you can monitor different
parameters, such as weather, soil moisture, and soil water
potential, all at the same time, giving you deeper insight.
We've also integrated barometric pressure to eliminate the
need to install extra sensors. And because everything
is plug and play, you don't have to be an expert at wiring or
programming.
Uncomplicated. Almost unbreakable. And unbelievable.
We engineered the ZL6 to be extremely robust and low
maintenance, so you can almost forget about your data logger
completely. The ZL6's integrated solar charging panel means there's
hardly any power maintenance required. An IP56-rated enclosure
designed for shedding rain makes sure water doesn't get in. More
secure cable handling ensures sensor cables don't get yanked out. A
hidden antenna limits breakage. And we've added fully round clasps
and hinges that won't break.
Plus, the ZL6 requires little setup. It
self-recognizes what's plugged into each port (as long as
they're digital sensors), and the new ZENTRA app uses
Bluetooth to configure digital sensors on any device, so you can
bring a cell phone to the field instead of a heavy laptop. You can
even configure the sensors from your office using ZENTRA Cloud. We also added GPS, so it
automatically keeps track of where data are collected. New
firmware-over-the-air capability means ZENTRA Cloud updates ZL6 firmware
automatically, with no effort from you.
