IOLITE®
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
Microsoft®
Corporation is a public multinational corporation head-quartered in Redmond, Washington, USA that
develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of products and services predominantly
related to computing through its various product divisions.
DewesoftX® is a Windows® based application and thus a Windows® operating system must be installed
on the measurement PC where DewesoftX® is installed.
NET Option
aka. Dewesoft’s NET, DEWE NET
With DEWE-NET your measurement system can be controlled remotely with ease of use you couldn't
imagine before. DEWE-NET also serves as the center of Distributed Data Acquisition systems where you
have multiple systems located either together or scattered across an entire continent. IRIG and GPS
time will take care that data will stay synchronised, no matter how long the acquisition runs.
OS
An operating system (OS) is a set of system software running on a device that manages the system
hardware.
This may refer to the operating system of a PC (Windows is required for DewesoftX®) or to the operating
system of the Sirius® system.
PC
Sirius® systems are typically connected to a Personal Computer which runs DewesoftX® to fetch the
measurement data.
RMS
Root Mean Square (RMS), also known as the quadratic mean, is a statistical measure of the magnitude of
a varying quantity. It is especially useful when variables are positive and negative, e.g., sinusoids. RMS is
used in various fields, including electrical engineering.
RTD
Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors or resistive thermal devices
(RTDs), are temperature sensors that exploit the predictable change in electrical resistance of some
materials with changing temperature; e.g. Pt100 and Pt1000.
