Z3 is a generic counting/measuring application built on Zoopomatic2. Whereas Zoopomatic2 was intended for Zooplankton counting only, Z3 enables users to count and measure using a database schema of their own design.

Z3 allows users to specify:

• What is being measured (e.g. Species)
• How to group data (e.g. Samples & Subsamples)
• How to label counts/measurements (e.g. Length, Egg Count)

The enhancements of Z3 compare to Zoopomatic2 are:

• User-defined schema meaning Z3 can be used in a variety of applications.
• Overlay Mode allows users to take measurements with cameras that don't support live video feeds except via their own driver or application window.
• Customizable export formats allow users to define how they want their data exported.
