Indledning
The MSR 165 allows high frequency acceleration measurements at max. 1600 HZ (±15%) or high frequency analogue measurements at max. 1024 Hz to be made. High frequency acceleration measurements are used for shock and vibration measurements.
The remaining low frequency measurement parameters are measured at max. 1 Hz and a common measurement rate is automatically used.
Conditional recording of measurement parameters
For high and low frequency measurements, recording conditions can be selected. The measurement parameters are only recorded when the recording condition has been met.
The recording conditions are divided into high and low frequency measurements as follows:
Note: In the case of shock measurements the recording condition is known as the “Threshold” whilst for all other measurements the term “Record limit” is used.
a) Low frequency measurements
When one of the low frequency measurement parameters reaches its recording condition (record limit), the MSR 165 starts to record all of the activated low frequency measurement parameters. It stops recording when the record limit drops below the pre-set value.
The alarm limit can be displayed in Viewer (se også ->26).
b) High frequency measurements
When one of the high frequency measurement parameters reaches its recording condition (threshold, record limit), the MSR 165 starts to record all 3 accelerationaxes or all 4 analogue inputs. In the case of high frequency measurements the MSR 165 also records the last 32 measurement parameters before the threshold value is reached. If the recording condition is no longer fulfilled the MSR 165 still records the next 100 measurement parameters (see figure on next page).
Stødmåling example

- Recording condition (threshold) fulfilled:
The last 32 measurements are saved.
All subsequent measurement values are saved. - Recording condition (threshold) no longer fulfilled:
The next 100 measurement values are saved.
Stødmålinger
The MSR 165 shock measurement function was specially conceived for the monitoring of transportation conditions. Its power consumption when making shock measurements is lower than when measuring vibrations. In addition to registering shocks, temperature, humidity and ambient pressure can also be recorded.
Configuring the MSR 165 for shock measurements:
The MSR 165 can only be configured for shock measurements using the Shock program (msr165_shock).
Open the Shock program and click Open assistant. Follow the assistant’s on-screen instructions. By entering the recording condition (threshold) you can define which shocks are recorded (max. +/- 15 g,

Vibrationsmålinger
The MSR 165 has been specially conceived for recording vibrations together with temperature, humidity and ambient pressure.
Configuring the MSR 165 for vibration measurements (->24):
- Start opsætning.
- Change the basic settings and limits to meet your requirements. A typical measurement rate for vibration measurements is 1600 Hz.
- Transfer the new configuration and the recording start conditions to the MSR 165 by clicking Write basic settings.

Cirkulær buffertilstand
![]()
If circular buffer mode is deactivated and the MSR memory is full, recording will be paused.
In order to avoid this, activate circular buffer mode (see ->24 or Shock assistant step 4).
Reader ->33
During data recording it is not possible to read measurement parameters from the MSR 165.
Begrænsninger
Shock measurements, vibration measurements and high frequency analogue measurements cannot be recorded simultaneously. For simultaneous data recording multiple MSR 165 units should be used.

| Problem | Løsning |
| Markørfunktionen kan ikke vælges. | Deaktiver Start and stop by push-button. See ->24 or Shock assistant step 3 |
Bemærkninger om temperaturmålinger
In addition to pressure, the pressure sensor also records the internal temperature T(p).
In addition to humidity the humidity sensor also records the internal temperature T(RH).
These internal temperatures are utilised for the temperature compensation of the sensors.
