MSR dataloggers - put to the acid test

Dear [Anrede,fallback=] [fullname,fallback=],

What are your requirements in the measurement technology field? Faster, more secure, more accurate? At MSR Electronics GmbH we make it our business to supply dataloggers that fulfil your requirements exactly.

This isn't a trivial issue: Just for the MSR145 mini logger and the MSR165 3-axis shock logger we invested over 20 000 hours in research and development work before the units were ready for marketing. We only release a datalogger for marketing when it has successfully completed the full schedule of endurance testing relating to materials quality and workmanship, precision and accuracy of the measurement results and user friendly operation. We carry out development, testing and production of all units in-house at our facility in Henggart and we test each individual device before it is shipped. In addition to ensuring precision, this also enables us to guarantee the long service life and robustness of our products.

With which measurement tasks may we help you?

New: EasyView Software for MSR

Makes advanced data analysis easy

The in-depth analysis of measurement data has become much easier: MSR Electronics GmbH is now a co-operation partner of intab, the Swedish market leader in data analysis software.

The user-friendly program, EasyView Pro, makes it easier for users to carry out advanced analyses, graphical presentations and to manage measurement data. EasyView Pro accepts data from a wide range of sources, including MSR datafiles which can be effortlessly imported and then evaluated in detail. The data analysis software developed by MSR Electronics GmbH (MSR PC Software) is of course still available. However, users that require a tool for more comprehensive data analysis tasks will find EasyView Pro from intab an excellent choice.

EasyView Pro 5.7 is available from MSR Electronics GmbH from October 2009 and costs €451.00 net.

MSR145 now with a battery of at least 260mAh

Better performance for the money

From now on, customers who order the MSR145 have a choice between a lithium polymer battery of 260mAh (standard) or of 900mAh (optional). The 260mAh battery replaces the current 170mAh battery but the price has not been increased despite the improved specification. The battery is charged via the unit's USB connection and, depending upon the battery fitted and the measurement rate, a single charge is sufficient for continuous data recording of up to two years. The mini logger MSR145 measures and stores up to 5 measurement parameters simultaneously. The available parameters are temperature, humidity, light and/or 3-axis acceleration. In addition, up to four third-party sensors may be connected to the unit.

MSR165 datalogger: Now up to 1600/s!

60% faster measurement and storage rate

The MSR165 now also offers greater performance for the same money: The MSR165 is now capable of making up to 1600 measurements per second for acceleration in all 3 axes (until today, the rate was 1000/s). Shock monitoring is possible up to ±15g, 32 measurement values are recorded even before the event takes place. In addition the MSR165 offers a choice of recording temperature, humidity, pressure, light and four analogue input voltages. The prices of the MSR165 datalogger have not been increased despite the improvement in performance.

The memory capacity of the MSR165 is already more than 2 million measurement parameters. This can be significantly increased by using an optional microSD card (>4 GB),recording 1,500 million measurement parameters.

Innumerable applications

The MSR165 is used in a wide range of industries for maintenance, production and monitoring tasks. For example in production measurement technology for monitoring vibrations in engines and transmissions, or for reducing wear in industrial plants, for increasing the performance of machines, in the design of bearings and shock absorbers, for noise reduction of engines and in the determination of imbalances. In the transport sector the MSR165 is used for monitoring goods of a critical nature. Other application examples: The measurement of vibrations in vehicles, load/endurance testing, vibrations in buildings, vibration measurements in refrigeration equipment, vibration measurements in wind generators and much more.

Story of the month: movita GmbH

MSR dataloggers promote your health and well-being!

The influence that physical activity has on our own personal health is enormous. The trend however, is towards taking less and less exercise every day and this means that health problems are bound to arise in future. The consequences of this can have are illustrated by the exponential increase in the number of people afflicted with diabetes and in exploding healthcare costs.

Thanks to MSR technology we are again becoming more aware of our exercise needs. Exercise data, recorded using modified MSR145 dataloggers, is being translated into qualitative health-related statistics by the company movita GmbH based in Wetzikon, Switzerland. Through the firm's Internet-based programs the results show participants, in an easy to understand way, how they can best organise their day to achieve maximum benefits for their health. The same principle applies to both SME's and large corporations: If, in line with a company healthcare management scheme, workers are made aware of the benefits exercise has on health and - where necessary - are provided with targeted assistance and support, then everyone stands to profit. Workers feel better, are happier and better motivated, days of absence from work are fewer, which in turn reduces costs.
