Save Your Setup
Everything that you can set up in DEWESoft is saved to a setup le that you can name freely (according to
Windows le naming restrictions of course). It is ALWAYS a good idea to save your setup before moving on
from here.
You need to be in the SETUP mode (as we have been for many pages now). On the left side of the toolbar
are large buttons for [Save] and [Save as]. If you have not yet named this setup le and you click [Save],
DEWESoft treat this the same as if you had clicked [Save as].
Use [Save as] to save the current setup conguration to a new name. So you can open an existing setup
that you like, use [Save as] to make a copy of it under a new name, then change it freely! No need to start
from the beginning each time.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Yes, there are many other kinds of channels that Dewetron systems typically have, such as digital inputs,
counter/encoders, video cameras, CAN BUS interfaces, and more… but this is a quickstart guide and we will
focus on making simple analog input recordings.
There are also several storing methods, such as triggering and reduced data. But for the quickstart we will
focus on the ALWAYS FAST mode, which is like a tape recorder: you manually press STORE and DEWESoft
records your active input channels at the selected dynamic acquisition rate, until you press STOP.
Are you ready to record some data?
It is better if you have some real signals connected to your channels. Even a simple 9VDC transistor battery,
or a function generator that can output a sine wave, is a great way to input signals. If you have nothing but
straight lines on the screen, it is impossible to learn how to zoom in, for example.
So please take a moment and connect at least one real signal to your dewetron system, and then let’s move
forward to the MEASURE screen, where we will use the default displays and STORE some data.
After that we will learn how to replay it.
Using the Acquisition Screens
When you click ACQUISITION from the ribbon at the top of the DEWESoft window, the default displays will
appear: Overview, Scope, Recorder, and FFT:
