Plugins

DEWESoft 7 offers a so called plugin technology, where different kind of add-ons can be created to extend DEWESoft in virtually unlimited ways. There are many add-on types that can be implemented using our plugin technology. You can implement:

  • additional acquisition devices,
  • custom mathematics,
  • custom export formats,
  • customs visual controls,
  • and more...
Many important data acquisition interfaces are already supported. Please take a look at manuals and example code section to get started.

DCOM applications

The whole Dewesoft can be taken as the DCOM server so the control application can start/stop recording, show Dewesoft setup. The DeweFRF is one example of application which just uses Dewesoft as a shell data acquisition application and creates a totally different look.

To get started with DEWESoft DCOM integration please take a look at manuals and examples section on this page.

Automation

Dewesoft offers many ways to automate and control the software. Here are three popular options that are available to you:

  1. DCOM server: you can use DEWESoft's DCOM capabilities to use his powerful acquisition functions inside your own software or maybe just to control the DEWESoft from outside (see Plugins and DCOM section for details).
  2. Sequncer: with DEWESoft version 7 we also introduced the build-in sequencer that allows you to control the test & measurement flow and software using sequences. There is no programming skills needed in order to use sequences. The build-in visual editor allows you to build sequences within minute.
  3. NET interface: DEWESoft 7 also offers network interface which allows you to control the software via the TCP/IP protocol.
