3. Getting started
This chapter will help you to install the software, connect your Krypton system to the PC via EtherCAT,
and will show you how to configure Dewesoft.
To follow these steps, you need the following items:
●your brand new Krypton system (included in the shipment)
●your Krypton EtherCAT cable (included in the shipment)
●your PC with Windows 10
●Note: older versions like Windows® 7 may also work
3.1. Software installation
For optimal working, we recommend that you install the latest version of Dewesoft. If you already have
Dewesoft installed, please check if a newer version is already available. You can either check on the
website under Support/Downloads/Dewesoft X3 section or directly in software under the Options/Check
for updates. In both cases the changelog is included
Check for updates
3.2. Connecting Krypton
In this chapter, you can see the basic instructions for connecting Krypton devices. Advanced
connections are described in the following chapters.
First connect the power supply cable (the standard PS cable is PS-120-L1T8m) to the OUT (8-pin LEMO)
connector. Then connect the ethernet cable (L1T8f-RJ45-1M) to the IN connector of the Krypton device.
Finally connect the other side of the ethernet cable (RJ-45) to the LAN port of the PC. Since EtherCAT is
compatible with ethernet any standard ethernet card should work. As soon as you have connected the
data-cable the L-LED will be active. You can find advanced connections in chapter 8. Connection
overview .

3.3. Simple Measurement
This chapter describes measurement basics, how to configure Krypton and gives some details on the
measurement setup.
3.3.1. Help - manual
Note that this document is just a quick start guide. For detailed information about Dewesoft consult the
Manual. To open the manual press the F1 button or click on the Options button ❶ and then select
Manual from the pop-up menu ❷ .
Help - Manual
3.3.2. Analogue channel setup
In the analogue channel setup screen you can see all channels of your connected Krypton systems. Per
default only the first channel will be set to Used. Unused channels will not show up in measure mode
and can not be used for display, calculations or storing: thus, we will also set the other channels to the
used. You can left-click on the Used column of channel 2 ❶ , hold the mouse button and move the
mouse down to channel 6 ❷ : then release the mouse button and all channels will be selected – this is
shown by the black rectangle around the buttons. Then you can click into the selected region to toggle
Used/Unused for all channels at once. The selected channels will also be highlighted in the small
preview image of the device ❸ .
When you press the Setup button of a channel (the column at the right edge of the channel table – not
shown in the Channel setup screen image), you can change all the settings of the channel amplifier. You
can also change the sample rate of Krypton ❹ .

3.3.3. Sample rate
One of the most important settings is the sample rate. The sample rate defines how many data points
Krypton will transfer to the Dewesoft. Higher sample rate also means that more data needs to be
transferred via EtherCAT to your computer.
The sampling speed mainly depends on your application. To display your signal in a time domain with a
good time resolution, you should sample 10 to 20 times faster than the frequency of the signal that you
want to measure, e.g. 1000 S/sec for a 50 Hz sine-wave. If you have a lot of high frequency components, it
may be necessary to sample 100 times faster, e.g. 5000 S/sec for the 50 Hz sine-wave, or even more. If you
display only the frequency domain (FFT analysis), a 2.5 times faster sampling would be sufficient
(125S/sec for the 50 Hz sine-wave). The higher the sampling rate, the better the time resolution. But also
the file size will increase. In the following image you can see that the maximum sample rate is different
for Krypton devices. For example the STG module has max. 20 kS/sec and TH module has a max. 100
S/sec of sampling rate. The Krypton ONE family has a 40 kS/sec maximum sample rate with the Krypton
1xACC exception which has a sample rate up to 50 kS/sec.

3.3.4. Measurement Mode
A click on Measure (at the right side of Ch. setup option) will take you to the Recorder screen measure
mode where you can already see live data.
Important
When switching to Measure mode the data will not be stored automatically.
Measure mode
In measure mode you can have several measurement displays ❺ . Dewesoft will create 2 default displays:
Recorder and Custom but you can also create new displays or change the widgets on existing displays
as you like.
The most important sections of the Measure mode are highlighted in the Measure mode image:
❶ shows the live measurement data in different widgets which are depending on the selected
measurement screen. In this case we see a simple recorder widget where data is presented in time
domain. You can use the channel-selector list ❷ to assign measurement channels to the widgets. Each
widget has different settings, ❸ shows the settings of the currently selected recorder widget.
To start storing the data, press the Store button ❹ . When you are done with recording, press the Stop
button.
Now Dewesoft has created a datafile with all the data that you have seen during the recording session.
You can now click the Analyze button (on the left-top of the screen to the right of the Measure button) to
go to Analyse mode.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
3.3.5. Analyse Mode
When you have just stopped a measurement, Dewesoft will automatically open the last recorded data
file in Review mode, so that you can start the analysis right away.
Analyse mode
The Review mode is much like the measurement mode. You will see the same measurement displays,
the channel-selector list and the properties of the currently selected widget.
Differences are:
❶ you have additional tool-buttons
❷ there is a Signal overview window which will show you the whole data of one selected channel of the
data file
❸ there are additional cursors (Yellow and two white cursors)
Now you can use the cursors to analyse your data, zoom in and out of the data, click Offline math to add
computations based on your data, etc. You can also change the design of your measurement displays,
print reports based on your data and export the data to other file formats for further analysis.

3.6. Licensing
Krypton or any other Dewesoft device already comes with an embedded Dewesoft license. You can
check the license details with all the available options in the Licensing tab ❶ by pressing the three
dotted buttons ❻ . However if the user decides to upgrade the license with an additional extension,
Dewesoft will require a new license registration. The registration can be made online ❷ or offline by
importing an offline license ❸ in case the system doesn’t have an internet connection. Offline license
can be pre-registered on a different PC with the internet connection. If needed, the license can also be
written on the actual device ❺ .
Active and embedded licenses are seen under the Active licenses tab. If the license is recognized as
none active, it usually means that the wrong license was entered.
Licensing options
Hint
All licenses regarding Krypton will only work when the Krypton system is connected to your PC
and the device has been activated in the hardware setup.

3.7. Troubleshooting
If your Krypton device is not found by Dewesoft:
●If you did not restart Windows after the software installation, restart now
●Make sure that you have started Dewesoft version X3 SP8 or higher
●Make sure that the external power supply is connected and okay
●Disconnect the EtherCAT cable and reconnect it. If this does not work, try to connect the
EtherCAT cable to another Ethernet port of your PC
●Try to restart Dewesoft
●Try to restart the PC
●Make sure to connect the data-cable directly to the Ethernet card of your PC. Do not use any
switches or hubs
If the computer is still having trouble recognizing the Dewesoft EtherCAT devices, here are some
additional steps:
●Check if there is an Ethercat DAQ Filter driver installed on your computer as shown in the picture
below. If the driver is installed, make sure the checkbox is checked in front of the driver.
KRYPTON® V20-1 19 / 141
/
KRYPTON®
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
If the driver is not installed, it can be downloaded from our web page .
●If the driver is already installed and the devices are still not recognized, the Speed & Duplex of the
network card needs to be adjusted manually.
○Go to network connections
○Right-click on the connection where the EtherCAT devices are connected
○Go to configure, advanced options, find Speed & Duplex, change the value to 100 Mbps
Full Duplex
●In case Windows 7 is used, it needs to be updated to Service pack 1 which accepts the 256-bit
certificates. You can find the proper update versions on the Microsoft web page , for both the
32-bit and 64-bit versions.
