DEWESoft X2 SP7

Dewesoft X2 SP7 is the most stable X2 version with exciting new features.

After months of intensive testing, performance tuning and new feature implementations the new version of Dewesoft X2 is ready. Thousands of test procedures were created in order to extensively test every possible hardware configuration and assure stability throughout the entire product line.

Along with software we have also improved firmware for all devices. Firmware can now be upgraded to the latest version directly within Dewesoft X2 software.

Dewesoft X2 SP7 is highly recommended and free upgrade for all DEWESoft users.

NEW FIRMWARE UPGRADE TOOL

For the best performance and user experience, it is recommended to use the latest software and firmware. We are updating the firmware regularly and until now it was hard to keep all devices up to date. Dewesoft X2 SP7 includes easy tool to upgrade firmware for all DEWESoft® devices to the latest version. Upgrade is done simply from Dewesoft X2 SP7.

For additional information please refer to the new firmware upgrade manual.

CHANNEL REMAPPING

The channel remapping feature makes it easier to load setup files with a lot of hardware. If the setup file is not completely compatible with the currently connected hardware, DEWESoft suggests the channel remapping feature. When this option is selected, a new pop-up window with two columns is opened. On the left side are the channels which are in the original setup and on the right side all the available channels. It is possible to remap the channels automatically using indexes, serial number, or by drawing the connections manually.

NTP SYNCHRONISATION FOR MULTIPLE USB DEVICES

The new SP7 release allows you to synchronise multiple DEWESoft USB devices with NTP synchronisation. In this feature, one device is set to receive the absolute time signal from the network time protocol server, which is then transformed into a Clock/Trig signal, and directed to all of the other local devices.

NTP synchronisation is primarily used to synchronise DEWESoft devices on different locations via the DEWESoft NET interface. Its limitation was that you were only able to use one device with each PC in order for the whole network to have matching timestamps. The new feature allows you to connect multiple devices locally, while at the same time keeping the synchronisation of the whole group. The picture bellow shows two local DEWE-43 units, which are in sync with each other and with the remote SIRIUS® unit.

TWO PULSE EDGE SEPARATION

Two pulse edge separation is a special counter mode available only on SIRIUSi CD. It requires also firmware upgrade. It measures the time which elapses between rising edge of the first signal (for example CNT_IN0) compared to rising edge of the second input signal (for example CNT_IN1). Usually the application is measuring velocity of the particle between two detectors. When they are located at known distance, this distance divided by measured time gives you estimation of the object passing these two sensors.

LIVE CHANGES IN PID CONTROLLER

The PID controller has received a lot of changes with the new version of DEWESoft X2. The main two added features are the ability to change the PID controller coefficients Ki, Kp and Kd live during measurement and the addition of the tuning rules. The tuning rules automatically calculate the PID coefficients of given process. DEWESoft PID controller offers four types of tuning rules: Ziegler-Nichols, Cohen-Coon, Lambda, and Dead time. The type of tuning rule used is dependent on what kind of process is being regulated.
