Automation
Dewesoft offers way to automate the software and create addons to the basic software. We (or anyone with programming knowledge) could create plugins, a custom DAQ or CAN driver, custom math, visual display control or custom export.
With these abilities, Dewesoft can be altered and only used as a base for custom projects and applications.
If you are interested WHAT can be done with use of these interfaces, the DeweFRF is an example of application taking Dewesoft for data acquisition, the devices like PCM and Scramnet are examples for plugins, the Sound card device is an example of custom DAQ, Genesys Adma or OBDII are examples for special CAN driver, there are many customer exports already available in standard Dewesoft, so we and our customers are using these interfaces extensively to add functions to Dewesoft.
If you are interested HOW to do that, please register and visit our developer zone.
DCOM applications
The whole Dewesoft can be taken as the DCOM server so the control application can start/stop recording, show Dewesoft setup.
The DeweFRF is one example of application which just uses Dewesoft as a shell data acquisition application and creates a totally different look.
Plugins
Plugins are DLLs made by us or by the customers and can add drivers for custom RS232 (or any other interface) sensors, it can do very special calculations or math, it can read the data and store it online to different format or database. The applications for plugins are virtually unlimited, since the plugin has the access to almost any part of Dewesoft.
Custom DAQ devices
We support many standard data acquisition cards, but there are lots of different brand of them on the market. So we decided to provide an open interface that virtually any card can be supported within Dewesoft.
Custom CAN devices
Lots of special sensors emerged lately which uses the CAN bus as the interface since it is very reliable and has quite nice speed of transfer. Sometimes those devices needs a special user interface and handling which can be achieved by writing a CAN plugin. The CAN port is then captured and the user interface can be tailored to specific application.
Custom visual controls
Even though we have lots of standard nice looking visual controls, there is always a wish to have something special. Many times applications require very special displays. Typical example is automotive active safety test, where relative position of two cars are shown on one display.
Custom export
Since years of having computers for analysis of data, there were hundreds of standards defined for file storage. Dewesoft offers by now more than twenty different file format to choose from.
However, we still come across the specific need to support special file format. Dewesoft offers an option to create custom export filters.
