Instruments You Can Rely On!

You’re invited to come inside and learn all about our powerful data acquisition, video recording, and transient capture products. But first, please give us a moment to show you our philosphy of what makes a good PC-based instrument— and why. We’re confident that you’ll recognize the unique approach that we take with each of the products that follow, and you’ll understand why choosing a Dewetron product will be one of the best investments you’ll ever make!

Open Architecture

Up to Date Now, Upgradeable Later

It all starts with a rugged, industrial grade computer platform. We keep it open-architecture, so that you can upgrade it easily in the future (think about how fast computer technology changes!). We add a bright flatpanel display visible under all lighting conditions and from all angles. Include a touchscreen option to make operation as easy as possible.

Then we plug in a high-quality A/D board from the best suppliers in the world, and enclose the entire system in an all-metal, extremely portable and lightweight enclosure. We take care that each system can be run from either AC or DC power, so that you can run it inside a vehicle, or just about anywhere.

Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well, believe it or not, most other companies build their data recording instruments products around proprietary hardware and software. But

Dewetron believes strongly in letting you upgrade your system easily when the technology allows it. We believe in using COTS (commercial, off-the-shelf) computer hardware to the greatest extent possible. That’s the only way we can make systems that are up to date with technology today, and can stay that way tomorrow!

That’s right – you can upgrade your

Dewetron system long into the future. But we’re not done yet: in order to create a complete system we need to add signal conditioning and software. And here’s where it doesn’t pay to cut corners.

What good will the A/D board be if the analog signals you present to it are noisy? Or if the system simply can’t connect to the wide variety of sensors that are commonly used? So let’s look at the next step...

Your World-class, World-wide Dewetron Team

From our beginnings in Europe as a systems integrator, to our position now as a major manufacturer of PC-based instruments, signal conditioning, and portable industrial computers, Dewetron has always been about people. We attract and retain the highest quality individuals in all areas – from engineering to sales – and everything in between. We want to meet you and work with you, from any of our offices around the globe. Dewetron now has locations in America,

Austria, England, China, The Czech Republic, Germany, Korea, The

Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland...and the list keeps growing.

Plug-in Modules

For Every Sensor

DEWE-MODULES are low-noise, all-metal modules.

Most of them have multiple ranges and filter selections, 1000 Vrms isolation, and the right connector for the sensor! Multiple ranges means that you don’t have to swap modules just to change the range, like some systems. (continued below the module...)

Software Choices

The Best of Both Worlds

Software makes the hardware do something. Other systems offer either very weak turn-key applications which are easy to use but not very capable, or they give you a complex programming tool which you must first master and then make your own setups! Our openarchitecture platform is a dream-come-true for integrators and developers, who can build whatever they want using great tools like

LabVIEW™, DASYLab™, Visual Basic™, and more.

But most Dewetron customers are test engineers who just want to make a measurement— not become a programmer! For them, our

DEWESoft applications are the answer. DEWESoft applications are turn-key and easy to use, but not weak or limited. They combine a clean, intuitive interface with incredible on-line data visualization capabilities, triggered or continuous acquisition to hard disk, and easy export to a wide variety of popular formats.

Available in several versions for general recording, advanced spectral work, and transient/oscilloscope applications, DEWESoft applications turn your Dewetron hardware into a complete instrument.

That’s what you were looking for, wasn’t it? A complete system, ready to go to work for you today … but easily upgraded tomorrow?

Please take a look through this catalog. We’ve got a lot of exciting products to show you inside. Use the weblinks to learn more about anything that you find interesting. Or call us to request an on-site demonstration. We look forward to working with you!

Every signal, every sensor. This is our lifelong goal—to connect to them all, and bring them flawlessly into the computer for display, measurement, recording, and analysis.

Your data comes from real sensors connected to real hardware under test. The signals must be kept clean and unadulterated right up to the instant they are digitized. This is our strong area, and where most others fall down.

We’re almost done creating the Dewetron PC-

Instrument, but there’s one more ingredient...

DEWE-600

Unique, Splash-proof Data Recorder!

The unique design of the DEWE-600 is the first thing that you notice. But it's more than just appearance: the high-impact chassis is hermetically sealed against moisture, dust, etc. An advanced cooling system conducts heat away without allowing any exchange of air with the outside, making the DEWE-600 perfect for hostile environments. Within this clever package is a Dewetron PC-based data acquisition system with 16 differential voltage inputs, running Windows and our

DEWESoft acquisition package!

Our Smallest Model Yet

But With BIG Dewetron Performance

Finally, a PC-based data acquisition system that can go almost anywhere. The DEWE-600 is about the size of a laptop computer, with a separate touchscreen that can be removed when the system is running. This is especially useful if you want to leave the system unattended, and prevent unauthorized use while you're gone.

Hermetically sealed and rated to IP65 and

NEMA4 against splashing, the DEWE-600 is a real computer running Windows, and containing a PCI A/D card with 16 channels. The front-end is Dewetron's own differential signal conditioning, so you can input voltages from ±5 V to ±50 V, and with

±100 V overvoltage input protection. *

The DEWE-600 has the interfaces that you need:

USB, Ethernet, serial, and parallel. An optional keyboard and mouse plug into the USB interface

(no reboot required).

* See the DEWE-600-DSA for a version with 8 voltage and accelerometer inputs, separate ADC’s per channel, and more

Below a sealed cover are the display, USB,

Ethernet, serial, and parallel connections.

BNC inputs are also gasketed and splashresistant – even with signal cables attached!

IP65/NEMA4

Unique Splash-proof Design

Fans pull air through grilled vents and pass it across a heat-sink that runs into the center of the DEWE-600, then push the heated air out the other side of the system.

There is no exchange of air, moisture, sand, or dust between the inside and outside of the system, because the inside is hermetically sealed from the cooling channel.

Cool Air Intake

Hot air outflow

The DEWE-600's display can be carried, or it will stand on any surface during operation. You can plug or unplug it even when the unit is running. A 3meter long cable is included with the display for your convenience.

The Data Recorder...

That’s Really Going Places!

The DEWE-600 is a new and exciting concept from Dewetron.

Imagine a space-age laptop-size recorder that you can spray water into without ill effect, which has a full-size PCI A/D card inside, differential voltage inputs with over-voltage protection, and which has a portable TFT touchscreen display!

Unlike a typical "laptop PC", however, the DEWE-600 uses a slot

CPU, hard drive, and computing electronics which can be upgraded long into the future. Your investment in a DEWE-600 is a sound one.

DEWE-3010 Series

Portable PC Instruments

You need to take data in a car, or an airplane, or on the factory floor. Delicate lab instruments won't survive. You need signal conditioning, a recorder, a computer for analysis – and yet there isn't enough room for all that, right?

Wrong. The DEWE-3010 is a complete data acquisition system that connects to any signal, any sensor – it's also a powerful computer with all the interfaces you need. Finally, in one small box you can have it all. We call it a portable

PC instrument. You'll call it a great investment.

In-Vehicle Acquisition

Go Anywhere, Do Anything

Since its introduction in 1997, the DEWE-3010 has blazed a wide trail in the world of portable data acquisition. Now with three models to choose from, each made for in-vehicle and field recording applications. The basic DEWE-3010 model features

16 dynamic input channels on its PCI A/D card. The first 8 are connected to the 8 DEWE-Module slots on the left side. Connect a RACK-8-3010 expansion chassis and plug in 8 more modules. Or choose the

DEWE-3010-64 model and connect up to 64 dynamic channels via more expansion racks. The economical DEWE-3010-REC doesn't use modules, but has 16 differential voltage inputs instead, for chart recorder replacement applications.

All models feature a very bright 12.1" TFT display, a small keyboard/trackball, and a vinyl carrying bag.

Record your important data directly to the hard disk, for gigabytes of recording capacity. And don't worry about running out of room, transfer data via standard Ethernet, USB, serial, or parallel ports – or copy it to inexpensive CD's (requires the optional

CD-WRITER option).

Plug-in Modules

Low-Noise Signal Conditioning

There are two types of plug-in modules available for your DEWE-3010: singlechannel DAQ modules for dynamic signals, and multi-channel PAD modules for static (slow) signals. Mix and match them in any combination, to create the perfect system. Of course, tomorrow you might be doing something different, so just rearrange them freely, adding and subtracting modules even while the system is turned on. DEWE-Modules provide sensor power for strain gages, accelerometers, inductive sensors, and more. Most offer multiple ranges and filters for ultimate versatility.

DEWE-2010 Series

16-Slot PC Instruments

Serious recording horsepower for serious applications, the DEWE-2010 puts it all together: 16 module slots on the rear panel (expandable to 64 modules – see the DEWE-2010-64 model), a 15" TFT display, an industry-standard A/D board inside, and powerful software to tie it all together. Run your favorite data analysis software on the same machine that you recorded it on – the DEWE-2010. And like all Dewetron Portable PC Instruments, it’s a full-fledged computer.

The DEWE-2010 is our flagship instrument.

It was, after all, the original PC-based data acquisition system based on COTS technology, featuring for the first time industrial grade PC components in a highly portable package.

And it’s living proof of our claims about upgradeability. We’re always taking in machines that we built years ago with Pentium

I processors and 32 MB of RAM, and giving them new life with quick and relatively inexpensive upgrades. Don’t even bother to try that with most instruments.

The rear side contains slots for 16 of our award-winning plug-in signal conditioners. Inside is a standard 200 kHz A/D board also upgradeable at the time of ordering to a faster model, or to a 16-bit version. For even more A/D board performance, check out the DSA series of products also in this brochure.

Portable, Expandable

Our Flagship Model

Any Signal, Any Sensor

With Plug-in Modules

DAQ and PAD series plug-in signal conditioning modules adapt your

DEWE-2010 to just about any sensor, any signal. With a low-noise/ high-isolation design, differential inputs, multiple ranges, and convenient connector types. Most DAQ models feature half a dozen selectable input ranges and filters, and with convenient pushbutton and software control. The local buttons can be locked out via software command. (A complete listing of modules is shown on pages 22–23.) Dewetron modules are available for strain gages, accelerometers, all voltage levels, current, thermocouples, RTD’s, LVDT’s potentiometric and ohmic sensors, tachometers, and many more.

Power to Spare

You can upgrade to an AC/DC power supply made for in-vehicle applications, and run your DEWE-2010 from either AC or 10–32 VDC power. Includes a built-in UPS that keeps the system running for up to

5 minutes without any power at all, and automatically recharges whenever AC or DC power is restored.

DEWE-2010 Applications. Railcar: braking and acceleration, new car acceptance. Automotive: Chassis, braking, ride-handling, engine analysis, test cell or track tests. Aircraft: turboprop bearing vibration, fuselage bend, hydraulic systems monitoring. Manufacturing: turbines, motors, and relay check, control-loop test, and more.

Road Warrior

Built to Travel

The optional 2010-SEAT-KIT turns your DEWE-2010 into a real road warrior. It’s built to last, with allmetal construction, and cinches to hold it fast to the vehicle seat, even under rapid steering conditions.

The AC/DC power supply

(see facing page) is also important for in-vehicle applications. Adding a touchscreen to the DEWE-

2010’s brilliant display is yet another wise investment. When testing takes you to the road, bring the

DEWE-2010 along with you. He feels right at home there!

DEWE-4000 Series

Portable/Rack-Mounting Models

The DEWE-4000 is our biggest, most expandable and extensible machine. Starting with a huge 18” TFT display

(optionally available as a touchscreen!), this model is ideal for applications where on-line visibility is critical.

Like the DEWE-2010, it has 16 slots on the rear side for any combination of DAQ/PAD plug-in signal conditioners, and even more room inside for additional PCI cards.

Big, Bold, Beautiful...

Our Powerhouse Instrument

The DEWE-4000 picks up where the DEWE-2010 leaves off. This machine is meant to give you more of everything: a larger display, and more PCI slots inside on the ATX motherboard for no-compromise system expansion. Aerospace engineers enjoy the ability to plug in their 1553 cards, IRIG/GPS, and just about everything else they can think of, and still have a fully functional data acquisition system, with signal conditioning, an A/D board (or two!), and more.

All of the computer interfaces that you want are included as standard, including 10/100 base

Ethernet, USB, serial, parallel, PS/2, and an SVGA output for connecting an external monitor or projector. And you can still upgrade the system with

SCSI, Firewire, Flash Media, and whatever else comes onto the COTS market.

The rear side contains slots for 16 of our plug-in signal conditioners. A 64-channel model is also available. Check out the DTRS-4000 version, configured specifically for flight test telemetry applications!

Just Reach Out And...

...Touch the Screen!

Finally, a big bright display you can really get in touch with. DEWESoft screens have been designed with your fingertips in mind – the buttons are just the right size.

Touchscreen is a popular option with all

Dewetron PC instruments, because it puts you closer to the data, and eliminates hunting around for the mouse for most routine operations.

So when the manual says to “press the button on the screen,” you really can! Works with all

Windows software.

DEWE-DSA Series

Dynamic Signal Analyzers

Buying a dynamic signal analyzer just got a lot easier. With other systems, just a few channels costs a fortune, and operation is overly complicated by arcane features that you’ll probably never use. Dewetron DSA Dynamic Signal

Analyzers cut right to the core of what you want to do. They have the rock solid inputs that you need, including signal conditioning for voltage and constant current type accelerometers. And the software is easy to use,

DEWESoft+Plus adds orbit, 3rd octave, and FRF screens for shaker table or impulse hammer work.

102 kHz/Ch Sampling

With 24-bit Resolution

The DSA Series from Dewetron is a bold new step in

Dynamic Signal Analysis. With beautiful, bright on-line displays and a robust front-end. Each input has built-in

ICP™ and voltage signal conditioning. Select your sample rate up to 102.4 kHz/channel, and powerful anti-aliasing filters adjust automatically, providing a 45 kHz alias-free bandwidth, and a 120 dB dynamic range. All inputs are sampled simultaneously, preventing time-skew between channels.

State of the art 24-bit delta-sigma modulating ADC's

(analog-to-digital converters) are used on each input.

Fixed analog filters roll off the signal beyond the A/D range, then digital filters adjust automatically to half the sample rate, stopping aliasing dead in its tracks.

All DSA models come with 8 inputs by default. Expand your system by adding more 8-channel cards. DEWE-DSA models are available with (or without) a built-in RACK for additional Dewetron signal conditioners – for applications where you need to connect more than ±10 V signals and ICP accelerometers. See the chart below for a cross-reference showing the inputs each DEWE-DSA model supports. No matter how many inputs are installed, they are all locked together for simultaneous sampling.

Built-in Signal Conditioning

For Constant Current Accelerometers

All DSA Series models have built-in voltage and ICP™ signal conditioning on each channel, freely selectable on the setup screen. If you have other types of inputs to incorporate (strain gages, LVDT's, F/V, charge, etc.), then DSA models are available with either internal or external slots for Dewetron's plug-in DAQ modules. There is a

DAQ module available for virtually every sensor type.

DEWE-ViDEO

Synchronized Video + Data Acquisition

It's the next step up in data acquisition – adding a layer of video to the data. It's how we humans best and most easily perceive data anyway, isn't it? But what has made it impractical before now is that there was no easy way to synchronize your data with the video (or vice-versa). Dewetron has solved that problem completely by using the clock from the A/D card to directly drive the video camera. Run your data acquisition at full speed – there are no limitations imposed by the video, which will be synched to every nth sample. DEWE-ViDEO supports a growing list of cameras, monochrome and color.

Data+Video Acquisition

Measure and See Your Test Data!

It starts with a familiar and easy to operate DEWE-

2010 or DEWE-4000 platform, with the same convenient plug-in DAQ and PAD modules for signal conditioning, a PCI A/D converter, and DEWESoft software to tie the entire system together and turn it into a turnkey instrument. Now imagine that you can plug in a Firewire video camera, and capture video data – continuously or based on triggering – right along with your data.

Think of the kinds of tests that you do today, and which of them would be enhanced with video.

Whether you are testing cars, turbines, aircraft engines, circuit breakers, or monitoring patients in a recovery room, there is a limitless assortment of applications where video adds tremendous insight into your data. And unlike other systems, where video and data are recorded separately, DEWE-ViDEO systems drive the Firewire (IEEE-1394) video camera from the same fast clock that controls the analog sample rate of the A/D card. The result is frame-accurate synchronization between the video data and sensor data!

Camera Choices

Firewire or USB

Using our IEEE-1394 cameras, DEWE-ViDEO systems achieve their best performance. There are two models: one for black and white, and another for color video applications. With these Firewire cameras, your system will have frame-accurate video/data synchronization, and be able to record continuously or in triggered "burst mode" at rates up to 60 fps for the

DV-C60 series, 500 fps for the DV-C500 series…and even higher in the near future.

For less-demanding work, we can provide the DV-Cwc USB camera. This

"webcam" cannot provide the resolution, accuracy, speed, or come anywhere near the data/video synchronization of our IEEE-1394 cameras, but it is an inexpensive alternative for “quick look” video acquisition applications.

Easy Hookup

With Plug-in Modules

Dewetron plug-in signal conditioners adapt your system to just about every signal and every sensor. We don't make compromises with your data - DAQP modules typically provide 1000 Vrms of isolation (channel-to-channel and channelto-ground), and handle all kinds of dynamic signals. PAD modules provide up to 8 channels each, with inter-channel isolation, and are ideal for adding lots of static (slow) channels to any Dewetron system. DAQ and PAD series modules are interchangeable, and hot-swappable while the system is turned on. See pages 22-23 for more details.

Dewetron Systems and Solutions

DEWE-2010-CA / -4000-CA

Portable Combustion Analyzer

Dewetron CA Series combustion analyzers are the first affordable and portable system for the tuning of modern engines’ electronic control unit (ECU). Proper ECU tuning is critical for the prevention of knocking, and for fuel efficient engine operation.

CA software displays engine data graphically, with extremely smooth screen updates, in several useful ways, including:

• A crank angle based pressure diagram

• A pressure/volume display

• Integrated pressure signal

• On-line knocking recognition diagram

• First derivative of the pressure signal

(advanced knocking detection)

• Knocking intensity diagram for any/all cylinders

The CA Series have integrated charge amplifiers, allowing direct connection of popular sensors, particularly Kistler combustion sensors. The system also accepts crankshaft tach signals with tremendous precision, both from the standard crankshaft tach output (60-2), or a special high-resolution 0.1° crank angle sensor. If only the built-in crankshaft sensor is available, the CA Series have a unique capability to interpolate greater resolution from the sensor in real-time.

All inputs are referenced to the timing of the crankshaft, which is critical.

The system can be set up quickly and reliably for engines with varying numbers of cylinders. And it’s portable enough to be carried easily by one person, allowing advanced combustion analysis to be done inexpensively at remote locations!

Full-color on-line and analysis displays are shown on the system’s built-in highbrightness 15" flatpanel display.

Additional displays can be attached to the system’s standard VGA output and operated simultaneously with the builtin display. Rugged in-vehicle rated flat displays with suction mounts are also available.

Key CA Series functions:

• Flexible sampling rate per RPM

• 0.1° resolution with crank angle encoder. Also works with the car’s own built-in sensor utilizing advanced crank angle interpolation algorithm

• On-line math and statistics

• Fast on-line displays - pressure diagram, P/V diagram, etc.

• Powerful knocking recognition capability

• Zero point correction to account for charge sensor drift

• Standard interfaces for test-beds -

10/100 Ethernet, serial RS232, analog outputs...

Finally, an advanced combustion analyzer with knocking detection has reached the price and size where it can be used in the field!

RCTS-3010

Dewetron Rail Car Test System

The RCTS-3010 was designed and developed in conjunction with today’s leading rail car makers, for the express purpose of reducing the costs associated with new car inspection and R&D. It starts with a portable,

MIL-STD 3010-IPC platform as the “brain,” and incorporates a RACK-16 or RACK-32 chassis for signal conditioning. All your important car signals, plus several types of speedometer signals (even today’s modern optical sensors) can be input into the high-isolation front-end. The system accepts all signals and sensors, and provides easy on-screen setup and calibration.

Enter your key test parameters, and place the waveforms at any position on the screen – now you’re ready to record data!

Test functions and calculations for car acceleration, deceleration, and general braking tests are built into the

RCTS software. Define the accel/decel speeds, and arm the system. Now start rolling – the system starts recording automatically at the correct speed, and stops later when the speed drops to zero again. An instant later, charts are created and displayed showing accel and decel vs. time and distance. Connect a standard color printer and make hard copies, or print the entire run in a strip chart format. Burn data to CD right inside the RCTS system for a permanent record.

Why use a strip chart recorder when the RCTS does so much more? And it’s even easier to use. The software can also plot performance curves vs. your specs, which can be entered into a table, so you can print out the results graphically and numerically for each mile-perhour.

Options and Upgrades:

• DC Power with UPS

• Flat display attaches to glass

• Remote speed displays for either end of the train (up to 11 cars long)

• CD-WRITER / DVD / Both

• Color printers

DEWE-Modules

Plug-in Signal Conditioners

There's a plug-in DEWE-Module for just about every signal and every sensor. From microvolts to kilovolts, AC and DC strain gages, all kinds of accelerometers, LVDT's, string pots, thermocouples, inductive sensors...the list goes on and on. Single channel DAQ series modules are for dynamic (AC) signals, and have a conditioned analog output that goes to a corresponding input on the system's A/D board. PAD modules are for static (DC/ slow) signals, and provide up to 8 channels each. PAD modules output via RS-232, so they do not require inputs on your A/D board! Mix and match these modules freely within any

Dewetron system, to create just the right combination for your requirements.
