Dewesoft DAQ: A Unified Measurement Platform for Modern Testing

Modern R&D, vehicle testing, EV validation, NVH, vibration testing, monitoring, and test bench applications rarely rely on one signal type only. Engineers often need to acquire analog sensor signals, CAN bus, GPS, video, digital signals, power data, and control system states at the same time. When these data streams are recorded by separate systems, synchronization, root-cause analysis, and technical reporting become unnecessarily slow.

Dewesoft DAQ brings these data streams into one measurement platform. The system can record sensor data, video, CAN BUS, GPS, Ethernet, and many other digital data formats in sync. Dewesoft is a complete measurement platform, not only a standalone data acquisition box.

Modern measurement systems no longer measure only one signal

A vehicle test may require acceleration, strain, force, pressure, temperature, CAN, GPS, and video. A test bench may also require control signals, safety states, power data, and environmental conditions. If each signal group is recorded in a different tool, engineers lose time answering critical questions: when did the event occur, which signal changed first, what was the root cause, and which report can be trusted for a technical decision?

Dewesoft combines DAQ hardware, DewesoftX software, and synchronized data architecture in one workflow. Users can measure, visualize, analyze, calculate, and create reports in the same environment. This is important for projects that need traceable data, easy review, and expansion when test requirements change.

SIRIUS: flexible measurement for dynamic signals and R&D laboratories

SIRIUS is suitable for measurements that require high signal quality and many input types, including voltage, high-voltage, IEPE, charge, strain gauge, load cell, thermocouple, RTD, LVDT, and current. For NVH, vibration, mechanical testing, structural analysis, and general R&D laboratories, SIRIUS allows engineers to select the right amplifier for the sensor and signal range instead of forcing the entire test into one generic configuration.

In real projects, SIRIUS often becomes the center of a multi-purpose measurement system. One setup can measure force, acceleration, strain, pressure, and temperature while synchronizing CAN or other digital data. Engineers do not need to merge data from separate software tools; they can review the whole test on one timeline.

Dewesoft DAQ ecosystem for different application groups

  • SIRIUS: dynamic signals, R&D laboratories, NVH, vibration, force, strain, pressure, temperature, and product testing.
  • SIRIUS Waterproof / KRYPTON: road load, durability, field testing, and environments with vibration, dust, water, or harsh temperatures.
  • IOLITE: test benches, PLC/controller systems, real-time control, and applications where measurement and control must work together.
  • OBSIDIAN: embedded DAQ, data logging, long-term monitoring, and systems that need standalone operation.
  • DewesoftX: the software layer for recording, visualization, analysis, calculation, and reporting in one workflow.

Field measurement: road load, durability, and harsh environments

Not every measurement takes place in a laboratory. Road load, durability testing, vehicle testing on public roads, vibration measurement on large machines, and industrial measurements require equipment that can handle vibration, dust, water, temperature, and long cable distances. Rugged systems such as SIRIUS Waterproof and KRYPTON help place DAQ hardware closer to sensors, reduce analog cable length, and send data back through a synchronized bus.

For distributed measurement, the benefit is not only ruggedness. Placing DAQ hardware near the measurement point helps reduce noise, shorten wiring time, and reduce channel-mapping mistakes during installation. This matters when tests must be deployed quickly in the field, especially in vehicle testing, industrial machinery, and systems with many distributed measurement locations.

IOLITE: when measurement must work with real-time control

In test benches, the question is not only “can we measure it?” but also “can we measure, control, respond, and prove the system state at the same time?” Dewesoft IOLITE is a data acquisition and real-time control front-end based on EtherCAT, suitable for mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, fatigue, end-of-line, and PLC/controller-based systems.

With IOLITE, engineering teams can build an architecture where high-speed measurement, control signals, and system states are clearly recorded. This improves debugging, acceptance testing, and post-test failure analysis, especially when a project must prove operating conditions at each point in time.

OBSIDIAN: long-term logging and standalone systems

OBSIDIAN is suitable when an application needs an independent data logger or embedded DAQ. Typical use cases include long-term monitoring, vehicle-based logging, systems without continuous operator presence, and projects that require stable field operation.

For long-term monitoring, the key issue is not only channel count. The system must consider storage, operating conditions, power supply, data transfer, remote access, and the workflow for handling abnormal events. OBSIDIAN supports logging and monitoring applications that need compact deployment, stable operation, and manageable data handling.

Selecting Dewesoft DAQ configuration by measurement task

  • General R&D laboratory: start with SIRIUS or SIRIUS X and select amplifiers based on sensors and actual signal ranges.
  • Vehicle testing / EV / NVH: synchronize analog sensors, CAN, GPS, video, and system data on one timeline.
  • Road load and durability: use rugged and distributed devices close to sensors to reduce analog cable length.
  • Test bench and automation: consider IOLITE or an EtherCAT architecture when measurement must work with PLC/controller systems.
  • Long-term monitoring or logging: consider OBSIDIAN when the system needs embedded DAQ or standalone data logging.

Deployment in Vietnam with DEWE VIETNAM

In real projects, the difficult part is often configuration and deployment: selecting the right amplifier, choosing compatible sensors, designing wiring architecture, synchronizing CAN/GPS/video, standardizing the DewesoftX workflow, training engineers, and supporting troubleshooting when measurement issues appear. The effective starting point is not “how many DAQ channels do we buy?”, but the measurement problem and the data architecture required by the test.

DEWE VIETNAM deploys Dewesoft systems in Vietnam through configuration consulting, sensor integration, installation, training, and technical support after deployment. When a project needs vibration, force, pressure, high-speed camera, environmental devices, or test bench mechanisms, DEWE VIETNAM can build a system configuration that fits the customer’s real operating conditions.

Conclusion

Dewesoft DAQ is suitable for organizations that need a synchronized measurement platform across multiple physical domains: mechanical, electrical, vibration, acoustic, thermal, CAN, GPS, video, and control data. With SIRIUS, KRYPTON, IOLITE, OBSIDIAN, and DewesoftX, the system can be configured from small R&D laboratories to test benches, vehicle testing, EV validation, NVH, durability, and long-term monitoring.

When the goal is not only to “buy DAQ” but to build a reliable, analyzable, and scalable measurement workflow, the right direction is to start with system architecture. DEWE VIETNAM supports customers in Vietnam to design and deploy Dewesoft measurement solutions that match technical requirements, test environments, and real operating workflows.
