The wireless mini-logger from MSR stores over one million measured values. By integrating it into a WLAN/WiFi network, the MSR145W2D can be used in practically any kind of measurement applications.
The WiFi data logger is an all-round talent when it comes to sensor technology: You can choose various internal sensors as well as up to five external sensors or connections. The FlexConnector offers the highest possible flexibility. The intelligent plug-in connection facilitates customer-specific adaptation of the desired FlexSensors.
No wiring costs and no time-consuming manual reading of measured values. Measured data can even be sent from places with difficult access. Integration either into an existing WiFi or via an access point, by means of mobile network access where required, into a separate wireless network.
When it comes to observing environmental conditions over a longer period of time, in many cases it is quite sufficient to transmit the collected data via WiFi once or twice a day. When configuring the MSR145W2D, you can set the time windows during which the data logger should connect to the WiFi network. The WiFi connection is thus only activated when it is needed – which has a positive effect on the battery life of the data logger.
With the MSR145W2D you have the option of using the MSR LocalCloud to store, manage and export the data either locally on your (company’s) own server or in the web-based cloud solution MSR SmartCloud. Via web browser you can view the measured values during operation.
In order to gain knowledge about the movement activity of dairy goats, MSR145W2D data loggers with acceleration sensors are used in a scientific research project. The loggers record the animals’ activities for 24 hours. The data transmission via WiFi takes place energy-savingly only once a day – when the goats are in the barn. This energy-saving data transmission allows the battery to run for more than 5 months. Should the WiFi connection fail, the data remain securely stored in the logger and can also be read out via USB.
For test measurements, it is often necessary to monitor measurement data in real time. In this case, the MSR145W2D is configured by the user so that the data is permanently sent to the WiFi network. Although the uninterrupted transmission of data results in higher power consumption, which affects the mobile operating time of the data logger, the data can be viewed immediately using MSR LocalViewer. For further processing, the measurement data can be sent to the cloud if required.
To determine load values, wireless MSR145W2D data loggers run along the production line at a beverage manufacturer. The measurement data is transmitted in real time via WiFi. Critical values are detected immediately. The recorded data not only help to gain insights into possible causes of increased wear in the production line, the implemented measures can subsequently be checked for their effectiveness with the data loggers

Whether it be to verify questions of liability, detect damage early or to optimise packaging: The MSR175 data logger accurately records critical transport events such as shocks, jolts or fluctuations in temperature, pressure or humidity and provides clarity with objective measured data.
The two digital 3-axis-acceleration sensors (± 15 g and ± 200 g) integrated in the MSR175 record shocks at a measurement frequency of up to 6400/s. The storage capacity of over 2 million measured values is sufficient to record at least 1,000 shocks (230 mAh Li-Po battery) or approximately 1,000 shocks (3.6 V, 7700 mAh Li-SOCI2 battery), depending on the type variant.
In addition, the transportation data logger measures and records temperature profiles from -20° to +65 °C. Further type variants of the MSR175 are available with internal humidity, air pressure and light sensors.
The software package for the MSR175 includes 3 programs: MSR175 Dashboard, MSR ReportGenerator and MSR ShockViewer. The MSR Dashboard allows you to configure the logger with just a few mouse clicks. The data recorded can be quickly transferred to a computer via the USB port. A single click on the MSR ReportGenerator is sufficient to call up a compact report. For a detailed measured data analysis, the MSR ShockViewer, which is integrated in the MSR175 software package as a free basic version, is at your disposal.
With the new ratio pyrometer, the CSvision R2M, it is possible to provide precise non-contact temperature measurements from 250 °C to 1400 °C at variable distances. The novelty of the CSvision series is the switchable two-stage brightness reduction filter, which makes it easy to aim and focus on very bright objects.
The CSvision R2M has a temperature measuring range of 250 °C to 1400 °C, is also equipped with a motorised focus and has an optical resolution of 75:1 and a spectral range of 1.35 µm to 1.75 µm.

The IR thermometer’s stainless steel measuring head is extremely small and can be employed in ambient temperatures of up to 85°C without additional cooling. A multi-installation of the pyrometers, e.g. in series as line scanner, is therefore cost-efficient and can be performed even in limited spaces.
Knowing the exact value of the radiation temperature is essential for the calibration process. It can be measured by either using a contact thermometer (in combination with the determination of the emissivity) or a transfer standard infrared thermometer. This value can then be used to determine the device constant for an initial calibration of the infrared sensors. In order to conduct a post-calibration by customers or local calibration facilities, the calibration temperature should be near the temperatures which occur at the respective applications.
Optris makes use of a transfer standard radiation thermometer CTlaser-PTB (see figure) to measure the radiation temperature of a reference source. The CTlaser- PTB is based on the IR thermometer optris CTlaser. The CTlaser-PTB needs to be traceable to the international temperature scale from 1990 (ITS-90). Thus, it is calibrated by the PTB (German national metrology institute) on a regular basis. ITS-90 is a very good approximation of thermodynamic temperature. It is based on 17 well-reproducible fixed values such as melting points of highly pure metals. Within the framework of ITS-90 the CTlaser-PTB is compared to national temperature standards from the PTB. This comparison within a closed chain of comparative measurements with a known uncertainty in measurement takes place on a regular basis.
Based on the CTlaser-PTB, Optris produces the CTlaser- DCI as a high-precision reference IR thermometer for its customers. The DCI units are produced with pre-selected components supporting high stability of measurement. In combination with a dedicated calibration at several calibration points the CTlaser-DCI achieves a higher accuracy than units from series production.
The optics of an IR thermometer is described by the distance-to-spot-ratio (D:S). Depending on the quality of the optics a certain amount of radiation is also received from sources outside the specified measurement spot. The maximum value here equals the radiation emitted by a hemispheric radiant source. The respective signal change in correlation with a resize of the radiation source is described by the Size-of-source effect (SSE).
As a result of this correlation all manufacturers of IR thermometers use accurately defined geometries for the calibration of their units; meaning depending on the aperture of the radiation source (A) a distance (a) between the IR thermometer and the reference source is defined. Thus, the value specified in datasheets and technical documentation as a measurement field is, in general, a certain defined percentage of this radiation maximum – values of 90 % or 95 % are common.

The ratio pyrometer can be used in adverse environments from 0 °C up to 65 °C without additional cooling. Due to the dual-channel measuring principle, the CSvision are largely insensitive to dust, steam and dirty viewing windows.
