Introduction
Using the MSR145W2D (logger) enables you to:
Download data (records) locally stored on the logger to a PC via USB cable.
Store, analyse and download measurement data from MSR145W2D in MSR SmartCloud.
Save current measurement data (since the MSR145W2D began actively connecting to the
network) to a PC that is connected to the local area network.
Display measurement data on the local area network on a connected PC in a browser and
create snapshots (MSR LocalViewer).
Process measurement data using WiFi integration of the logger in a LabView®
environment (see separate instructions).
Background:
With an established WiFi connection, the logger always connects to a background process
(server) that makes the measurement data available for its respective application (e.g. MSR
SmartCloud or MSR LocalViewer). Either this server is accessed globally via an internet
connection, as with the MSR SmartCloud, or it is accessed via the local area network to which
the logger is connected via WiFi if the MSR LocalViewer or MSR LabViewer applications for
displaying and processing measurement data are installed and open.
Notice:
Data stored in the logger via the Logger default function "Data Recording/Record" can only be
read out via the direct connection logger - PC via USB cable.
1. Data transfer from MSR145W2D to MSR SmartCloud
Prior to transferring measurement data to the MSR SmartCloud, an MSR SmartCloud user
account must be created and the data logger must be registered there. For instructions on how to
proceed, please refer to the sheet with the activation code that you received with the data logger.
Alternatively, the activation code for the data logger can be requested from the MSR customer
service.

1.1. Sending data through an existing WiFi network to the MSR SmartCloud
For this option you do not require any additional hardware, as it uses the existing network
infrastructure.
In order to be able to send the current measurement values and/or recorded data to the MSR
SmartCloud via an existing network, the logger must be connected to this wireless local area
network (WiFi). The network must have Internet access. If this is not possible, we recommend
variant 1.2.
Enter the configuration data required by the data logger in the setup program of the MSR PC
software under "WiFi":
Connect the MSR145W2D to the PC using a USB cable (see also the
MSR145W2D Quick Reference Guide www.msr.ch/en/msr145w2d
Start the MSR PC program (For download and installation: please refer to
www.msr.ch/en/support/pcsoftware).
Run setup.
"WLAN/WiFi” tab
Please enter settings (see also Appendix A2):
Network (SSID): Name of the WiFi network in which the logger should be
integrated.
Network Key (WPA 2): Enter the corresponding WiFi password for WPA 2.
Destination: URL -> MSR Smartcloud as target to choose.

For testing the WiFi connection for the first time, activate the WiFi of the logger connected to the
cable via the "Activating status" tab. To check, the status of the WiFi connection of the logger
must then be "read".
If the "ready" and "WiFi on" indicators for status and result appear, the logger is
successfully connected to your WiFi network and the SmartCloud server and the
measurement data is sent.
For more details, tips and assistance, please refer to Appendix A1, A2 and
A3.

The logger's WiFi module on the MSR145W2D is autonomously activated and deactivated for the
period of use:
Press the data logger button to activate the display. Press and hold the button
again until the "WiFi" option appears.
-> Release and press the button again: The data logger now connects to the WiFi
network.
Press the button again to deactivate the logger's WiFi module.
By pressing and holding the button again, the "State" option appears. The OLED
display shows the same setup status information as described above.
1.2. Sending data through an additional WiFi network to the MSR SmartCloud
In this option a standalone WiFi network and internet access using the mobile web are
established – e.g. through a Fritz!Box. In order to be able to send the current measurement
values and/or recorded data to the MSR SmartCloud via an independent network with a wireless
connection established specifically for the measurement task, you must connect the logger to this
wireless local area network (WiFi). The network must have Internet access (e.g. via LTE).
Appendix A4 provides a description of how to set up an independent WiFi connection
using as an example the Fritz!Box 6820 LTE in conjunction with a corresponding mobile
phone SIM card.
Enter the configuration data required by the data logger in the setup program of the MSR
PC software under "WiFi":
To set up the MSR145W2D connect a suitable PC to the independent network.
Start the MSR PC program (download and installation: refer to www.msr.ch/
en/support/pcsoftware)
Connect the MSR145W2D to the PC using the USB cable (refer also to the
MSR145W2D quick start guide, www.msr.ch/msr145w2d).

2. Data transmission from MSR145W2D to a local application (no internet access
required)
The following MSR applications are available for processing your measurement data in the local
area network:
MSR LocalViewer
MSR LabViewer
The MSR145W2D LocalViewer requires a release from the operating system to receive data from
the MSR145W2D data loggers – check Appendix 5, please.
2.1. Sending data through an existing WiFi network to a local application
In this option you do not require any additional hardware, as it uses the existing network
infrastructure. There is no Internet access needed, as the measuring data are sent to a local
application directly.
Various local applications are available in the download area at www.msr.ch/de/msr145w2d.
Notice:
Before commissioning on the local system, it is helpful to save the current installation files (ZIP
archives) for the MSR PC software and the MSR application on a mobile data storage device in
order to make them available to the PC that you will subsequently use.
Please install the latest version of the MSR application (see above) on your PC (a link to
the MSR website with the latest version can be found in the download section at
www.msr.ch/de/msr145w2d)
Please start the application. This will open e.g. the MSR LocalViewer window in your
standard browser.
