What Makes Dewesoft the Best DAQ Solution?

1. Comprehensive and user-friendly DAQ software: DewesoftX 

Dewesoft’s flagship software, DewesoftX, is at the heart of its DAQ solutions. Designed with user experience in mind, DewesoftX combines powerful features with an intuitive interface.

• Ease of use: DewesoftX data acquisition software offers drag-and-drop functionality, unlimited, customizable display screens, and an intuitive graphical user interface.

• Multi-domain measurements: DewesoftX records analog signals like temperature, pressure, vibration, strain, voltage, and current. In addition, it records digital counters and encoders, video camera outputs, GNSS/GPS, IMU, digital bus data from CAN, CAN FD, ARINC, 1553, PCM telemetry, radiometric data from IR cameras, and much more. All signals are recorded synchronously regardless of their sampling speeds and update rates.

• Real-time monitoring: Advanced visualization tools, such as strip charts, scopes, FFT graphs, and analog and digital meters, allow users to monitor and analyze data in real-time effortlessly.

• Post-mission analysis: Data can be processed during and after recording using built-in mathematical and engineering tools.

• Extensibility: the base package of DewesoftX is included at no charge with all Dewesoft instruments. It can be extended with various plugins that provide additional capabilities for specific applications. These include sine processing, modal analysis, combustion analysis, electric motor efficiency, balancing, torsional and rotational vibration, PCM telemetry input, and more. 

These features make DewesoftX a robust tool for seasoned professionals and accessible for those new to DAQ systems.

2. High-quality DAQ hardware for every application 

Dewesoft’s hardware portfolio is as impressive as its software. Built for precision and durability, its devices serve industries including automotive, aerospace, energy, transportation, civil engineering, structural analysis, condition monitoring, and more.

• SIRIUS DAQ systems: SIRIUS data acquisition systems provide the most precise and accurate measurements due to their extraordinarily high dynamic range and bandwidth. They are available in several form factors, including PC-connected modules, stand-alone portable instruments, and rack-mounting systems.

• KRYPTON modules: Compact, rugged, and highly reliable, these modules are ideal for harsh environments. Single- and multi-channel KRYPTON modules daisy-chain via a single EtherCAT cable. 

• IOLITE modules: Similar to KRYPTON in architecture, these single- and multi-channel modules are designed for industrial environments and monitoring applications. 

• OBSIDIAN data loggers: A whole new kind of instrument, OBSIDIAN uses embedded processing for unmatched long-term stability, even under the most challenging recording conditions. Made to log data for weeks and months at a time without intervention. Includes a control app for smartphones and tablets.

This diverse, extensible product lineup ensures that Dewesoft can meet the demands of any project, no matter the complexity. 

3. Essential DAQ technologies

• Analog to digital converters: Dewesoft systems have several high-performance sampling subsystems, including patented DualCoreADC technology that employs two high-resolution 24-bit ADCs per channel, resulting in a dynamic range better than 150 dB. Even higher bandwidth and overall performance are available with Dewesoft’s Hybrid ADC technology, which provides sampling up to 15 MS/s per channel and 5 MHz bandwidth.

• Anti-aliasing filtering (AAF): AAF is highly recommended to prevent false or “alias” signals resulting from sampling too slowly compared to the signal bandwidth. Anti-aliasing filtering is included in virtually all Dewesoft systems. 

• Signal conditioning: These are the essential interfaces between a broad array of sensors and measuring systems. Dewesoft offers signal conditioners for all major sensors, including strain gauges, pressure and force transducers, IEPE and charge accelerometers, thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, LVDTS, counters, encoders, tachometers, potentiometic sensors, and many more. Nearly every signal conditioner is available with isolation.

• Isolation: Signal isolation protects against wrong readings, equipment damage, or personal injury when an amplifier’s common mode voltage is exceeded. Most Dewesoft signal conditioners include channel-to-channel isolation, channel-to-ground isolation, or a combination of both, known as galvanic isolation. Isolation is essential when working with high voltages and other sources of electrical potential.
