DEWE2 data acquisition systems

Dewetron DEWE2 data acquisition systems use simultaneous sampling Trion plug-in modules to combine the modularity of PXI with a larger front panel capable of containing 8 RJ45 connectors. The connectors of a single Trion module accommodate strain gauge sensors; 6 or 8 IEPE sensor connectors; 4 or 8 isolated high-voltage inputs.

The modules are inserted from the front of the DEWE2 chassis and can be combined and exchanged directly by the user in seconds. They plug in and out using the same locking/ejector mechanism made popular by the PXI standard. This allows DEWE2 instruments to be quickly adapted for various sensors and applications.

The function of every single measurement channel as well as of the connected sensors can easily be proofed via a system check. This results in a reduction of user errors, which saves valuable time. Analog, digital, CAN bus, GPS, counter and even video signals are hardware-synchronised during the measurement process. This is guaranteed by Sync-Clock technology, which provides high-quality measurement data and the ability to easily view and evaluate results.

SuperCounter provides advanced counter technology with absolute phase and amplitude to enable synchronisation of inputs. Any online and offline analyses are simplified due to storage of synchronous data. DEWE2 instruments have the option of 4 to 18 Trion slots and are available with or without a built-in computer. The DEWE2-A4 is an all-in-one platform with four slots for any combination of Trion modules. It features an Intel i7 processor running Windows 7 and a built-in display and keyboard. The Trion modules feature a separate 24-bit A/D converter on each channel.
