Premiere at the SENSOR+TEST, 14 - 16 May:

First MSR145 Data Logger with BLE, OLED display and MSR SmartCloud

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

Wireless monitoring of measured data and fast readings of measured values – the new features of the Bluetooth Low Energy Option and the OLED graphic display of the MSR145 mini data logger. Also new: the web-based "MSR SmartCloud" service for mobile data monitoring.

The BLE wireless radio link is particularly advantageous for applications that require monitoring of measured data from locations that are difficult to access, such as machine rotations. BLE allows the user immediate data visualisation irrespective of the location. You can recall the measured values on your smartphone, receive alarm messages via MSR SmartCloud and, if required, share data from multiple MSR145 data loggers with your team any time.

MSR SmartCloud facilitates the storage of your measured data on a server via the Internet, allowing you to view, print or download the measured values of your data loggers to your PC for a detailed analysis, wherever you are. If you work in a team, you can grant fellow employees access to your measured data with a personal MSR SmartCloud login, thus facilitating efficient and easy co-operation. MSR SmartCloud can notify you of incoming alarms via text messages and e-mail. Depending on the data logger type and existing infrastructure, measured data can enter the MSR SmartCloud in different ways: wireless using BLE via a smartphone, PC or a separate gateway; or using a USB cable via a PC.

Brilliant: MSR145 with OLED colour display

You can now equip the MSR145 data logger with a colour OLED display for a compact representation of data and graphic charts. The high screen resolution facilitates easy reading of measured values, even in total darkness and from virtually any viewing angle. The display is switched on and off manually; the desired display data can be configured in the MSR PC software program “Set up”.

Action at the SENSOR+TEST Measurement Fair, 14 – 16/05/2013, Nuremberg

Good vibrations in hall 12, booth 585!

What has “slacking” (see photo) to do with MSR Electronics? It is perfect for demonstrating vibration measurements with the MSR data logger! Slacking is a trend sport similar to tightrope walking, where you balance on a tubular tape called the slackline, which is stretched between two anchoring supports. At our booth a slackline rider will demonstrate the brand-new BLE-compatible version of the MSR145 data logger. You are welcome to try out the slackline yourself!

Secure your free entry to the renowned German trade fair now - we look forward to seeing you! Of course, you can book an appointment for a personal consultation with us today: Tel. +41 52 316 25 55 or info@msr.ch

MSR Data Logger measures G-forces for spectacular experiment by Pro7

The science show “Galileo” by the German TV station Pro7 magnifies the microscopic world to a human scale and reveals its inconceivable achievements in one-of-a-kind experiments. During the programme of March 26th, among other things, “Galileo” wanted to know: Is it possible to spin around your own axis as fast as a CD in a CD player like the “cyclist spider”? In the spectacular experiment by “Galileo”, a stuntman is being rolled down a steep slope in a gym wheel akin to an oversized cyclist spider. Indispensable for the careful preparation of these tests: previous measurement of the g-forces. Thus, a MSR165 data logger with integrated 3-axes-acceleration sensor was applied in order to test how strong the acceleration forces are.

Story of the month:

MSR Data Logger used for space medicine

The University of Zurich and the Swiss Air Force have executed a unique, joint space medicine research project since 2010. The gravity, which arises as a result of flight manoeuvres during regular military training flights, is used for human cell research. To this end, the research team led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Oliver Ullrich developed a special “flying laboratory”, which can be installed in the fighter jet aircraft F-5E “Tiger” of the Air Force. The MSR145 data logger by MSR Electronics is an essential element of this system.

With the ARES project, (Aircraft-based Reduced-gravity Experimental System) Prof. Dr. Dr. Oliver Ullrich of the University of Zurich and Captain Dr. Marc Studer, Professional Military Pilot of the Swiss Air Force, have taken a new direction together: Instead of the single annual large-scale experiment with a preparatory period, their approach facilitates many small, quickly repeatable experiments with short lead times.
