Do not plug the powered network cable directly into the PC network port. It may damage the
PC.
3.2.1. DewesoftX® Settings IOLITE®
The connected device will show up in the DewesoftX® settings. Click on the Options button at the top
right, and then on the Settings item in the pop-up to open the DewesoftX® settings dialogue.
DewesoftX® settings
In the Devices section, you can see the connected IOLITE® slices. When you select one of them, the
properties pane at the right will show the related data e.g. Serial number, Firmware version, etc.

3.2.2. Channel Setup IOLITE®
In the channel setup you can see a preview of the connected devices on the left side.
When you click on a connector in the image the corresponding channel in the Channel setup
grid will automatically be selected. This also works the other way around: when you select a
channel (or multiple channels) in the setup grid, the corresponding connectors in the image
will be highlighted.
The sampling rate will be set for all connected IOLITE® slices: of course only up to the max. sampling
rate of the individual slices.

3.3. Simple Measurement
This chapter describes measurement basics, how to configure IOLITE® 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 DewesoftX® consult
the Manual. To open the manual press the F1 button or click on the Options button ❶and then select
Manual from the pop-up menu ❷.
Help - Manual
When DewesoftX® has started up, you will be in Measure mode and see the Setup files list or you can
create a New setup ❶. Click on Ch. setup (on the right of Setup files) to switch to the Channel setup
mode ❷. In the channel setup you can see a preview of the connected devices on the upper left side.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
3.3.2. Analog channel setup
In the analog channel setup screen you can see all channels of your connected IOLITE® systems. Per
default only the first channel will be set to used. Unused channels will not show up in measure mode
and can thus 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 8 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 this screen-shot), you can change all the settings of the channel amplifier.
You can also change the sample rate of the IOLITE® ❹.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
3.3.3. Sample rate
One of the most important settings is the sample rate. The sample rate defines how many data points
IOLITE® will transfer to DewesoftX®. A 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. 1 kS/s 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. 5 kS/s 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 (125 S/s for the
50 Hz sine-wave). The higher the sampling rate, the better the time resolution. But also the file size will
increase.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
3.3.4. Measurement Mode
A click on Measure (at the right side of Ch. setup in Illustration below) will take you to the Recorder
screen measure mode where you can already see live data.
Hint
When switching to Measure mode the data will not be stored automatically.
Measure mode
In measure mode you can have several measurement screens ❺. DewesoftX® 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 screen-shot Illustration “Measure
mode”:
❶shows 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 the time
domain. You can use the channel-selector list ❷to assign measurement channels to the widgets. Each
widget has different settings, ❸shows 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 DewesoftX® has created a data file with all the data that you have seen during the recording
session. You can now click the Analyse 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, DewesoftX® 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:
❶you have additional tool-buttons
❷there is a Signal overview window which will show you the whole data of one selected channel of the
data file
❸there 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.
