ZFG ViewerApp

With the ZFG Viewer App from ZORN Instruments, you can transfer and display the measured values obtained during testing with the Light Weight Deflectometer on your tablet or smartphone. The data transfer takes place via WLAN. You can see the individual values and settlement curves and compare them with each other.

You can send the measurement results as a ZIP file by eMail, for example, to edit them further in the ZORN FG WebApp and to save and/or send them as test protocol(s). This function requires an active internet connection and a configured mail client of the smartphone/tablet.

GPS data of the measurement results, if available, can be viewed via Google Maps.

You can download the app from the Google Play Store or the Mac App Store. Click here for the links.

FAQs about ZORN Apps (Software)

The software that was available until a few years ago as a locally installed application for documenting measurement results has been discontinued. It was no longer up to date, and external operating system and software updates occasionally caused problems with the application that were beyond our control.

That is why we have introduced the ZORN WebApp, which is available free of charge to ZORN users.

Simply register once and then log in via the ZORN WebApp from any suitable device and get started.

No installation, no dependency on a particular computer and your reporting software is always up to date.

There are several ways to save measurement data from your Light Weight Deflectometer on your smartphone or other mobile device.

With the ZFG D plus, this is done automatically using the ZORN D plus App. The measurement is controlled directly via the app installed on the mobile device, and the measurement data are saved there accordingly. You can also add photos, project data and other information and create reports directly in the app.

Immediately after completing a measurement, you can also switch directly to the ZORN WebApp via a button in the D plus App. The web-based reporting application gives you additional options for creating and customizing your reports.

When carrying out soil testing with the ZFG 3000 or ZFG 3.1, the measurement data are initially stored in the electronic measuring unit of the LWD. You can then transfer the data to your mobile device via the instrument’s Wi-Fi network.

Detailed instructions

  1. Switch on the electronic box using the <ON/OFF> button.
  2. Press the <Mode> button until you reach the “Wi-Fi Transfer” menu item.
  3. Press <OK>. The instrument will now create its own Wi-Fi network.
  4. The display will show both the network name (SSID) and the network key/password. You will need these details to connect your smartphone, tablet or other mobile device to the instrument.
  5. Important: If you leave the menu using the <ON/OFF> button, the instrument’s Wi-Fi network will also be switched off.
  6. While the Wi-Fi network is active, open the Wi-Fi settings on your mobile device and select the network created by the measuring instrument. Enter the password shown on the instrument’s display.

You can now download the measurement data using one of the ZORN Apps, such as the ZORN WebApp or ViewerApp (download links you find in the download area), and then view, edit and save the data according to the capabilities of the respective application.

 

First, make sure that the Wi-Fi network of the measuring unit remains active throughout the entire data transfer.

If you leave the “Wi-Fi Transfer” menu on the electronic measuring unit using the <ON/OFF> button, the Wi-Fi network will also be switched off. The Wi-Fi network must remain active while the data are being transferred.

If the connection still does not work, it can also help to temporarily switch off mobile data on your smartphone. This can prevent the device from automatically switching to the mobile network instead of maintaining the Wi-Fi connection to the measuring unit.

Tip: Keep the “Wi-Fi Transfer” menu open until the data transfer is complete.

It’s quick and easy.

Simply watch our tutorial video “Create a customized test report”. You’ll find it together with our other help and tutorial videos at the top of this page.

The video guides you step by step through the process of creating and customizing your test report. 

Yes, no problem. You can define the starting number for your measurement results under “Settings.”

We currently offer three apps that you can use as a ZORN customer. Each has a different purpose and range of functions.

The WebApp is a browser-based application that is independent of the device you use. You can access it on any smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and web browser simply by logging in with your username and password via the ZORN WebApp. It offers the most comprehensive range of functions of our three applications. One special feature is live report generation: enter your project and measurement data on the left-hand side, and the report is displayed simultaneously on the right-hand side exactly as it will appear when printed. The WebApp is always kept up to date automatically. You do not need to install updates or check manually for new versions.

The ViewerApp is an app that you install on your mobile device. Its main purpose is to view your measurement data. You can save and print your results as a “receipt printout”, similar to the printout from the printer of the ZFG 3000 or the mobile printer used with the ZFG 3.1. You can also forward the measurement data by email directly from the app. However, the ViewerApp does not offer the option to create customized test reports.

The ZORN D plus App is the dedicated app for the ZFG D plus Light Weight Deflectometer. It allows you to control the measurement wirelessly and create test reports in a similar way to the WebApp. The D plus App does not offer quite as many functions as the WebApp, but for many users, its features are more than sufficient for everyday work. If you want to create or customize your reports using the WebApp after completing the measurement, you can simply tap the “WebApp” button in the D plus App. This automatically takes you to the web-based application. Depending on your settings, you may need to log in again. Your measurement data, photos and comments are transferred automatically, so you can continue working without having to enter everything again. Other details you put in after measurement will not transferred!

There are two different versions of the ZORN D plus App. The D plus App 2025 is intended for Light Weight Deflectometers that were delivered from mid-2025 onwards. Make sure that you are using the correct app version for your ZFG D plus. If you purchased the ZORN D plus as a retrofit kit for an existing instrument, the relevant date is also the purchase date of the D plus electronics, not the original purchase date of the Light Weight Deflectometer. You can find the appropriate app version in our App Downloads section.

Your measurement and project data are stored exclusively on your mobile device. For the browser-based ZORN WebApp, only the data required for your login are stored on our server located in Germany. Your measurement and project data are not stored there. If you delete your account, the login data stored on our server will also be deleted.
