The MSR 12 is a practical, portable signal acquisition instrument for measuring, displaying and recording a range of physical parameters. Its unique modular design means that you can customise the unit according to their specific requirements. The unit can record and store over 100 physical parameters simultaneously and at different measurement frequencies.
The MSR 12 system comprises a basic unit together with optionally available additional modules. Alongside a real-time clock, the basic unit includes the following modules as standard: 3-axis accelerometer, air pressure and ambient temperature sensors. The unit’s functionality may be expanded at any time with an almost unlimited range of external additional modules, allowing it to be customised to the required level.
Each additional module has a range of sensors – mostly of a similar type. Connecting existing, commercially available sensors is also straightforward. For test purposes the gradient curve and the actual measurement parameters for the selected sensor can be shown on the unit's display. The sensor’s signals are processed by the module's own processor and the values saved in the module’s memory.

Module PR3 measures air pressure and ambient air temperature
Module ACC3 is a 3-axis accelerometer
The MSR can be upgraded individually using the modules listed below. Should one of your required measurement parameters not be listed, then please contact us for further information. We will be happy to advise. The following MSR plug-in modules are already in daily use:

All additional modules can be freely combined with one-another. We would be pleased to advise you on our existing standard module combinations.
The range of sensors is under continuous development and will be adapted to meet customers' requirements. Plug-in modules are planned or under development for the following fields:
Blood pressure

Gas analysis
Position (GPS)
Pulse
Speech/sound recording

The sensors
The major advantage offered by the MSR is that you only need one measurement device for the most diverse applications and sensors.
Connecting commercially available sensors to the Modular Signal Recorder is straightforward. The sensors are recognised automatically and the measurement parameters appear immediately on the unit's display.
