• Choose your system: 8, 16, 24, 32 or customized channels/chassis
• Combine 32 channel systems to clusters up to 1000 channels.
• Select stand-alone Systems with build-in I7 CPU and SSD or external USB connected systems.
• Small foot print: 32 channels: 210x160x240 mm
• Passed all shock and vibration test according EN 60068-2-6:2008, EN 60721-3-2: 1997 (Class 2M2), EN 60068-2-27:2009 and MIL-STD-810D.

Dual core ADC Inputs:

This new technology solves the often faced problem that the signal is just much higher than expected and therefore clipped. Dewesoft DUAL CORE ADC technology always gives you the full possible measuring range, because the signal is measured with a high and a low gain at the same time! The user doesn´t need to care about the range anymore. High dynamic range up to 160 dB!

New Real-time counter / digital inputs

There are 2 typical counter functions: the gated measurement (high frequency range typ. > 100 Hz) or pulse width measurement (low frequency range typ. < 100 Hz). Many applications need both: the counter information and the analogue data. Traditional systems do not offer the counter information synchronized to the A/D converters, because they get the counter information only either after the gate time or after the pulse time measured. In comparison to standard counting with software interpolation (value 1.5 in the example image) Dewesoft real-time counting uses an additional counter to get the exact time of the rising edge of the signal. This unique feature allows the calculation of the exact counter value at the A/D sample point (value 1.87 in the example).

Multiple analogue outputs

24 bit analogue output, or function generator, programmable voltage and current supply. In addition to the programmable voltage or current power supply for all sensors on the market, the SIRIUS MULTI module also offers the analogue output function of the conditioned input signal, or even additional mathematic functions, often used for redundant data acquisition systems. These functions can also be used as a function generator to drive a shake for the structural analysis function (FRF)

8 channel USB chassis

8-channel modules can be combined to a 32 channel system with an external sync. and power box. Each of these 8 channel systems can be used as individual measurement systems or as a single fully synchronized 32 channel system.

32 channel USB chassis

We also offer a single 16/24/32 channel USB SIRIUS system. This only requires ONE USB interface on your PC/laptop.

S-BOX (embedded PC) with up to 4 SIRIUS chassis in one enclosure

With the S-BOX Dewesoft SIRIUS becomes an up to 32 channel system including an i7 embedded PC running DEWESoft™ Software. It can be set to hold 1 to 4 SIRIUS chassis to get 8, 16, 24 or 32 channels. Each input channel can be chosen from the standard range of SIRIUS modules.

The standard configuration of the PC is an i7 processor, 4 GB RAM and a 64 GB removable solid state disk. The operating system is stored on an internal 8 GB flashdisk, so removing the hard drive with valuable information is easy. The GByte-LAN and WLAN modules provide good connectivity between instruments while seven USB and one VGA connector complete the system. If you need more channels simply connect multiple systems via GBit-LAN and sync to get a system of up to 1000 channels and more. Each system can be used independently or can be combined for bigger measurement tasks. When using the DEWE-NET option, each 32 channel PC has more than enough power for most demanding math operation since the load of calculation is distributed among the computers. With this system configuration performance problems belong to the past! S-BOX includes also a 1 Hz (100 Hz as an option) GPS receiver with real time Kinematic option for down to 2 cm accuracy.
