3.2.7. RT mode SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR can also be treated as a stand-alone device and can run without the use of DewesoftX - we also refer to this as the RT mode. When the device is connected over Network connection, the user has an option to enable the RT-mode inside DewesoftX.
Page 20
RT-mode disabled the status will “RT running (1/2)” will be presented. Important When RT mode is running on the device, all the AI properties (Range, sample-rate, etc..) are locked. To change the AI properties the user needs to stop the RT mode. SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR V22-1 20 / 79...
Before starting RT mode, go to measure mode and make sure devices are synced. It can take up to 60 seconds before the devices are synchronized. 3.3. Simple Measurement This chapter describes measurement basics, how to configure SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR and gives some details on the measurement setup. 3.3.1. Help - Manual Note that this document is just a quick start guide.
Page 22
When DewesoftX® has started up, you will be in Measure mode and see the Setup files list. Click on Ch. setup (on the right of Setup files) to switch to the Channel setup mode. Image 21: Setup files SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR V22-1 22 / 79...
3.3.2. Analog In - Channel setup In the analog channel setup screen you can see all channels of your connected SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR units. 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.
One of the most important settings is the sample rate. The sample rate defines how many data points, SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR will transfer to DewesoftX®. Higher sample rate also means that more data needs to be transferred via ethernet to your computer.
Now you can use the cursors to analyze 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 screens, print reports based on your data and export the data to other file formats for further analysis.
