We are proud to present the first version of DewesoftX.

Dewesoft software was always limited by the hardware it supported. To overcome this limitation, we have created very innovative line of instruments called Dewesoft Instruments.

With Dewesoft Instruments we got for the first time in history a chance to create a perfect fit between software and hardware. As Dewesoft Instruments were made only for Dewesoft software, Dewesoft X is only working together with Dewesoft Instruments giving users totally integrated solution for most demanding test&measurements tasks.

Please look at introduction video for more information:

Dewesoft and Dewetron were always independent companies and are successfully collaborating for more than 10 years. We have worked together ont the top of the line measurement solutions which are widely accepted by the customers all over the world.

Both companies are producing independent hardware lines which are mostly complementary, but in some cases also competitive. These products are sold through different sales channels on available markets. This gives the customer additional selection of quality hardware solution. Independent of that Dewesoft and Dewetron continue to work together on the Dewesoft software which is the major engine for both platforms.

After opening Dewesoft offices in Austria, Hong Kong, Singapore, China and India, we are very happy to announce that we opened a direct Dewesoft office in the USA.

We have realized that the full potential of the award winning Dewesoft software can be unleashed only in the combination with our own designed hardware. After successful start with DS-43, DS-Minitaur and DS-NET we are introducing new data acquisition product family called SIRIUS. When we started to design it we had a similar vision when we started to develop Dewesoft software.

SIRIUS has so many innovations in it that it outperforms everything available on the market today. Together with Dewesoft software it creates perfect solution. Everything from mechanics, electronics, firmware and software must be backed up with good local services and support. This together provides a total solution for your data acquisition challenges. Creating Dewesoft USA was an important step, because we have always built our solutions in close cooperation with you, our valuable customers.
