The MSR175Pro has been specifically developed for transport applications involving high masses and short-duration, highly dynamic shock events. The integrated 3-axis acceleration sensor with selectable measuring ranges of ±10 g, ±20 g, and ±40 g reliably records both low-frequency transport loads and short-duration shock events. Selectable sampling rates from 4 Hz to 4000 Hz, combined with anti-aliasing, decimation, and high-pass filters, enable clean separation of relevant shock signal components from static acceleration influences. This allows transport-induced loads to be technically assessed correctly and misinterpretations caused by gravitational acceleration or vehicle motion to be avoided.
Tamper-proof event recording and reliable data
The event-based data storage with shock thresholds selectable in defined increments from 0.5 g and a separate auxiliary memory that can not be overwritten ensures that critical transport loads are recorded completely and tamper-proof. The recorded time histories and directional information allow precise reconstruction of the load situation and provide a reliable data basis for damage analysis, acceptance procedures, and the technical clarification of liability and insurance matters.
Software package included in delivery
The MSR175 software package supports all data loggers of the MSR175 product family, including the MSR175Pro, and is used for configuration, evaluation, and documentation of the recorded measurement data. It enables efficient processing of large data volumes and traceable analysis of transport-relevant events.

Software
MSR175 PC Software
Included with the MSR175 and MSR175plus data loggers is the software package with the programs MSR Dashboard, MSR ReportGenerator, and MSR ShockViewer.
Program data logger
The user-friendly Dashboard software makes programming the data loggers and reading the measured data child’s play. To start up the logger, connect the data logger to the PC using a USB cable, click the data logger to be programmed, and select the parameters for the measurement under «Set up Mission»: start and stop criteria, measurement channels, measurement interval, and limit value setting. Subsequently, start the measurement (= «mission»).
Reading out several data loggers simultaneously
In order to read out several data loggers simultaneously, connect them to the PC using a USB cable, click on the data loggers to be read out on the Dashboard, and read out the data under «Read Record Stop Mission». The measured data is automatically saved as a .msr175 file in the Windows user area of the user.
MSR ReportGenerator
A single click on the «MSR ReportGenerator» is sufficient to quickly call up a compact, summarised report on the measured data, for example, for documentation purposes. The time range to be displayed can be adjusted individually. If threshold values are exceeded, this can be identified at a glance by the coloured status information of the sensors. Convenient export functions enable you to process the data in Microsoft Excel or as a CSV text file, and to generate a PDF.
MSR ShockViewer (Basic version)
For a detailed measured data analysis of the relevant shock events, the MSR ShockViewer analysis software, which is integrated as a free basic version in the MSR175 software package, is at your disposal. To this end, select the files you wish to analyze in more detail from the list of files (.msr175 files). To do so, click «Start ShockViewer» below the list. The files are then opened in the MSR ShockViewer analysis software.
Detailed analysis of shock events
Easy-to-operate graphical zoom and navigation functions allow you to easily and quickly analyze extensive data volumes and determine relevant shock events. In the MSR ShockViewer, you can examine and export both the data curve and the measuring points of every individual shock.
You can show and export processed spectral analysis data of the selected shock event in chart view or in table view. We offer multiple types of spectral analyses (such as Magnitude, Power Spec, etc.) as well as different weighting windows (such as Rectangle, Gauss, Hamming, etc.).
The insights obtained from the analysis can be useful not only to verify events causing damage when dealing with questions of liability, but the data also helps you to detect damage early and optimize packaging, as well as means and routes of transport.
