Function generator

DEWESoft 7 offers single-channel and multichannel function generator for generating following signals:

  • Sine

  • Square

  • Triangle

  • Saw

  • White or pink noise

  • Arbitrary signal loaded from the file

The frequency, amplitude, phase angle and offset can be changed on the fly without a single glitch on a signal. When a function generator drives a shaker, it is very important that it does not induce any spikes.

The frequency can be changed in 0.1 mHz steps, so it can be adjusted precisely to your needs.

Alarm output

All the measured and calculated channels can be used as the trigger conditions for digital output. The trigger criteria can be virtually anything:

  • Simple edge (either rising or falling slope)

  • Filtered edge (edge plus rearm level; either slope)

  • Window trigger (two levels; entering or leaving logic)

  • Pulsewidth trigger (longer or shorter than duration logic)

  • Window and Pulsewidth (completely selectable as above)

  • Slope Trigger (rising or falling slope with steepness selection)

The event can be set to visual component on display, a sound can be played or we can use AD card to output alarm to external digital line.

CAN output

CAN output can be used to distribute the measured data over CAN interface. We can choose to distribute the channels to several messages. Output rate will depend on refresh rate of the system (cca. 20 Hz).
