Features

Small and versatile

Weighting just over 0.5 Kg and sizing ~22.3 x 7.82 x 4.50 cm (~8.78 x 3.08 x 1.77 in), you can hold the DEWE-43 in one hand, and yet inside this small, rugged box beats the heart of a giant.

DEWE-43 sizing

It's got eight dynamic analog inputs, each one backed up with a 24-bit AD converter for simultaneous sampling at the highest resolution. The inputs are "universal" type, which can handle strain gages and voltages up to +/-10V natively ... Use our tiny MSI adapters and convert any of them to a different input type, including IEPE accelerometer inputs, 200V inputs, RTD's and thermocouples (see inputs section for details).

The DEWE-43 is the ideal solution for demanding dynamic data acquisition applications, when you need something with stellar specifications, and yet with a small and budget friendly footprint.

Build quality

Is it rugged? You bet! We carefully design our instruments and CNC each one out of a solid block of aluminum. This way, the instrument is not only tough, but also light for maximum portability.

Only Dewesoft builds instruments this way.

Award winner

DEWE-43 was voted and received a product of the year award from NASA Tech Briefs magazine.

DEWE-43 was chosen among fierce competition from National Instruments, Autodesk, Honeywell and others. DEWE-43 got more votes that all other contenders together, which makes this win even more valuable.

Inputs

8 analog inputs

DEWE-43 has eight anti-aliased dynamic analog inputs with 200 kS/s/ch maximum sampling rate and 32x oversampled sigma-delta A/D per channel.

DEWE-43 can natively accept full-bridge and ±10V sensors. Connecting the MSIs and ADAPs outlined below, the input flexibility of the DEWE-43 is greatly enhanced.

MSI adapters

Because the eight dynamic analog inputs on the DEWE-43 are "universal" type, they can handle full-bridge and voltages up to +/-10V natively. With our tiny MSI adapters you can convert any of the inputs to a different input type:

IEPE accelerometer inputs

MSI-BR-ACC

IEPE adapter with DB9 connector Excitation current 4 mA at 21 V, High pass filter 1.5 Hz, BNC connector TEDS for automatic adapter identification.

200V inputs

MSI-BR-V-200

200 V input adapter with DB9 connector Differential input configuration, BNC connector TEDS for automatic adapter identification.

Thermocouples

MSI-BR-TH-K

Thermocouple type C/J/K/T adapter with DB9 connector. For use with isolated thermocouple sensors only! High accuracy cold junction reference measurement, 1m thermo cable with Mini TC connector TEDS for automatic adapter identification.

RTD inputs

MSI-BR-RTD

Pt100, Pt200, Pt500, Pt1000 and Pt2000 adapter with DB9 connector 2, 3 and 4 wire connection methods, 5-pin Binder 710 series connector TEDS for automatic adapter identification.

8 super counters

DEWE-43 has eight super counters capable of 1x event count, encoder, period, pulse-width, duty-cycle, frequency measurement per channel or 3x TTL pulse digital inputs. These counter inputs are fully synchronized with analog data.

DEWE-43 counter inputs

There are two typical counter functions: the gated measurement (typically >100 Hz) and the pulse width measurement (typically <100 Hz).

Traditional systems do not offer counter information synchronized to the ADC, because they receive counter information either after the gate time or after the pulse time.

By using a third channel to monitor rising edge of counter, it is possible to exactly synchronize counter data with ADC clock.

Dewesoft super counters

2 CAN bus ports

DEWE-43 has two optically isolated, high-speed CAN 2.0b bus channels. Both ports are capable with max throughput of 1 Mbit/sec/ch, have support for OBDII, J1939 standards and are capable of CAN out for replaying CAN data.

Expand

When your application requires a higher channel count than one DEWE-43, we have many options for expansion. Below are just a few examples. Contact your local Dewesoft sales organization to help find a solution for your custom configuration.

1 x 32 channel system

Use our SYNC BOX and USB hub to connect together up to four DEWE-43 units to form powerful 32 channel system. With external USB hub only 1 USB connection to computer is required. Of course you can also connect DEWE-43s directly to your multiple USB ports on your computer.

Mixed signal acquisition

Picture below shows how you can mix and connect different Dewesoft instruments together for different signal types. Here two DEWE-43s and one 32-channel DS-NET system are connected together. The entire system forms:

16 fast analog channels @ 24 bit, 200 kS/s per channel
16 super-counters channels
4 CAN 2.0b ports
32 slow analog channels @ 24 bit, 2 kS/s per channel

Of course entire acquisition is perfectly synchronized no matter what data speeds are used in this configuration.

4 x 8 channel system

With Dewesoft's distributed data acquistion capabilities you can acquire synchronized data from multiple instruments at different locations at the same time. Picture below displays example 4 x 8 channel system used to acquire data with the help of Dewesoft's NET option.
