Analyze data

Most of the data files, even if they have several gigabytes in size, are loaded in a matter of seconds. A special data structure allows fast reloads and zooming. We can choose a specific portion in recorder and zoom in to show a very limited time event. All other visual controls like meters, FFT, or scope displays shows the data for specific time shown with the yellow cursor.

Post-processing

During the years DEWESoft introduced many powerful math function like formulas, filters, statistics, power grid analyzer, frequency response functions, order tracking, torsional vibrations, engine combustion analyzer, sound analyzer, human vibration and others. Due to internal structure it only allowed those great features to be calculated during measurement.

In DEWESoft 7 you can store the raw data and do all the processing offline, on any computer, anywhere. This allows you to work with the data as you were at the test bench or on the proving ground.

DEWESoft viewer

The file preview is completely free of charge. We provide a special version of DEWESoft called DEWESoft Viewer, which can used to view DEWESoft data files without any cost. You can download the latest DEWESoft Viewer in our download section.

Replay

To get an impression how the measurement was done, especially when we have video streams in the measured file, DEWESoft offers file replay capabilities. We can choose a specific portion in the file and replay the data with the same speed as it was stored or with higher/lower speeds. When we have for example high speed video, it is very nice to show the data at much lower speeds as it was acquired.

Sound replay

DEWESoft does not only show the data, but it can also play the data through sound card. Any channel can be chosen to be output through speakers.

Channels replay

DEWESoft also offers to replay the channels through analog output card. We can output up to 16 channels using analog output cards.

File export

DEWESoft 7 offers virtually unlimited file export capabilities. We can use different export file types, use scripting for direct reporting and export raw, reduced or angle based data. DEWESoft 7 supports export into following data formats:

  • Microsoft Excel® - standard spreadsheet software in most companies
  • Flexpro - powerful, easy-to-use data analysis software
  • Text - tab delimited text file which can be used with any post processing package
  • ASCII - delimited text format
  • Clipboard - copy data to the OS clipboard
  • Diadem® - powerful data analysis software package
  • FAMOS - signal analysis software
  • NSOFT - to be used with NSoft and Somat post processing packages from company NCode
  • Sony® - a data file format compatible with Sony tape recorders
  • RPC III - defined by MTS and mainly used for road load data collection and replay
  • Comtrade® - a file format used especially in power&energy markets
  • WAV - a well known wave file format which can be used in audio packages
  • Google Earth® KML - display GPS travelled path in Google earth
  • BWF - multichannel wave file format
  • ATI - a native iDeas file format for dynamic signal analysis
  • SDF - defined by HP and used by LMS and Prosig packages
  • WFT - file format defined by Nicolet
  • CSV - file format for exporting CAN messages; can be used also for CAN replay in DEWESoft
  • TDM - technical data management format: a new file format of Diadem
  • TDF - file format defined and used by LMS packages
DEWESoft 7 comes with templates for Flexpro, MS Excel and FAMOS data exports. The templates mean that the reports are prepared once and executed when DEWESoft finishes the export of data. In this way we can automate report generation and simplify the measurement process.

DEWESoft allows allows you to set up your data export in:
  • full speed data or
  • reduced data - Min, Max, RMS, Average

Custom exports

If all the build-in file export formats are not enough for you, DEWESoft 7 offers you a plugin technology which allows you to extend DEWESoft with implementation of your own custom file exports. Create exports to virtually any kind of data format, options are unlimited.

Please take a look at developers section for resources about plugins development.

Reports

When you are reviewing data in the analyze mode, you can make hard copies as easily as clicking the Print button in the top toolbar. Any display can be directly printed to PDF or printer. Even if we have black background as default, DEWESoft will invert the colors to be printer friendly.

DEWESoft offers you several options for generating print reports:

  • Report orientation - report orientation either in portrait or landscape
  • Single or Multipage report - report orientation either in portrait or landscape
The channel setup can be also printed for documentation purposes.

Export to AVI movie

Since DEWESoft has very nice replay capabilities, the replay can be stored as AVI file which can then be used in presentations or some other purpose. DEWESoft let's you configure AVi export in following ways:

  • Output resolution - movie output resolution of exported AVI file,
  • Frame rate - movie frame rate of exported AVI file,
  • Play speed - the replay speed of your data file,
  • Sound channel - sound channel to be added into exported movie file (if any),
  • Compression settings - set compression settings for output video file.
