Data Acquisition Software Specications
DEWESoft software specifications
General
Compatibility Microsoft® Windows XP® and Windows 7® (32-bit operating systems)
Computer requirements Recommended: Intel® Core2Duo® 2 GHz CPU with 2 GB RAM and S-ATA HDD
with 100 GB of free space
Minimum: Intel® Atom® 1.2 GHz CPU with 1 GB RAM and IDE HDD with 50 GB of
free space
Licensing requirements A valid license is required for data acquisition operation
No license is required to use the software in analysis mode
Software name and edition DEWESoft 7 SE (standard edition) is included with the DEWE-321x system.
Upgrades from SE to PROF or DSA or EE editions are available for purchase at any
time.
Hardware compatibility Controls all programmable aspects of the integrated DEWE-43 acquisition module
TEDS Supports TEDS sensors, and includes TEDS compatible sensor database
Input scaling Channel setup screen: supports linear scaling of analog channels via 2-point method
and funtional method (y=mx+b)
Math formula and sensor database: support both linear and non-linear (polynomial)
scaling, via multi-sectional coefficients or look-up table scaling
Counter setup Counter/encoder channel setup screen supports graphical configuration of all counter
and encoder decoding modes.
Recording setup
Recording modes Always fast (continuous recording to disk at the dynamic sample rate)
Fast on trigger (dynamic sample rate recording when one or more trigger conditions
are true)
Always slow (reduced rate storage of min/max/ave/rms values at a user-selectable
decimation of the dynamic sample rate
Fast on trigger, slow otherwise (combination of fast triggering and slow recording in
between triggers)
Pre-trigger time Pre-trigger time can be entered when using any triggered recording mode. Pretrigger
time limited to the amount of physical RAM available divided by the number of
samples per second being streamed across the PCI bus
Post-trigger time Post-trigger time may be selected without limit
When one or more channels are being used to stop recording, any selected post-
trigger time will be added to the end of the acquisition
File naming Data files may be named freely within Windows file naming constraints
File protection Files canno be over-written accidentally due to a warning screen, which provides a
way to cancel recording, continue and overwrite the existing file, or rename the new
file (preserving the existing file)
Multi-file naming Selectable automatic numbering of files. Software will append an underscore and four
digits to the end of the user-entered filename. Subsequent recordings are increased
one digit at a time. Alternatively the date and/or time (hh:mm:ss) can be added to the
filename.
