Using the MSR1 module storage rack
The location points for the TP20 probe modules are positioned approximately below the numbered labels on the rack. Accurate positioning is
not necessary, as the magnetic force will pull them into the correct position.
The probe modules are held magnetically in the MSR1 and can be rotated if required.
