Starrsed ST, Starrsed RS, Starrsed RL and Starrsed TL are instrument names of RR Mechatronics. Until 2014 the Starrsed ST was called Inversa 24M, the Starrsed RS was called AutoCompact, the Starrsed RL was called Interrliner (Standalone). RR Mechatronics changed the product names to benefit better from the worldwide recognizability of the brand name Starrsed.
