DEWE2 Definitions
A-series
All-in-one instruments
Most compact, includes powerful i7 computer, brilliant
display and keyboard, touchpad.
Most convenient for all mobile applications like inspecting facilities, rotating machines, test stands, power
generators, electrical machines, buildings, vehicles,
aircrafts, trains, and anything else.
M-series
Mainframes
Like the A-series but without display; keyboard and pointing device are included loose.
Very popular for applications where the instrument is
installed in a poorly visible place for the user (e.g. in a
car the instrument is often installed in the leg area of the
passenger seat but the driver needs to see the screen) or
laboratory applications and test rigs.
F-series
Front-ends
F-series units don´t have a built-in computer but supply
measurement data over a robust high-speed PCI Express
bus. Multiple units can be daisy-chained.
One popular application is to use F-series devices with a
laptop computer for mobile applications.
The second use of F-series devices is to expand A or M
series instruments.

SYNC-CLOCK™ technology
DEWE2 Advantages
DEWETRONs unique SYNC-CLOCK™ technology
ensures synchronized recording of
Analog signals like acceleration, temperature,
strain, pressure, force, voltage, etc.
Digital signals like static, counters, encoders
Bus systems like CAN-bus, FlexRay™, XCP
GPS
Video cameras (hardware synchronized)
Major sensor systems like Kistler RoaDyn® 2000 wheel
force transducers or GeneSys ADMA INS/GPS system
Your advantage:
SYNC-CLOCK™ enables reduction of
editing and analysis times by up to 50 %.
At the same time, the quality of the analysis results
can be improved by a factor of 5 – 10.
User exchangeable modules
Enjoy maximum flexibility
Mix any TRION™ modules to perfectly match
your sensor setup
Use isolated inputs and differential inputs at the same time
Use modules of different sampling speed
and resolution in one chassis
Add modules at any time;
analog, digital, CAN, time code, sync, etc.
Reconfigure your DEWE2 system in minutes
by changing TRION™ modules

Your advantage:
Enables optimal utilization of your DEWE2 instrument
Secures your investment
Input connectors to match your sensors
All TRION™ modules have a factory-exchangeable connector panel
Some types of TRION™ modules are already available
with different input connectors
Customized connector panels can be offered to match your sensors
Your advantage:
Your sensors can keep their cables
and can still be used with existing systems
Safes a lot of money when the quantity of sensors is high

DEWE2 Advantages
High channel density
The basic consideration for DEWE2 chassis
is a height of 4 U (~177 mm or ~7 in.)
TRION™ modules are made for optimal utilization of that space
The size of input connectors limits the channel count per module
A single 4 U chassis can hold up to 144 analog inputs
Systems are scalable from six to thousands of channels
Your advantage:
The small size and the low weight of portable systems
enable simple and cheap transportation
In high channel-count applications more than 1000
channels can be fitted into a single 19” cabinet
4U
5U
Self test and calibration port
Most TRION™ modules offer self-test functionality
A calibration port is available for efficient calibration
of high channel-count systems
Sensors don't need to be disconnected during calibration
Your advantage:
Confidence in measurement results,
robust high-quality data are ensured
Significant time savings at calibration of
high channel-count systems
SuperCounter™
Perfectly synchronized to analog and all other inputs
Accepts any signal wave form, trigger level from 0 to 50 V

Counter/encoder inputs of TRION™ modules are phase
synchronized. Refering to the diagram, you can see that a
standard counter is always a sample behind. With software

advanced technology is both, fully phase AND amplitude

Ideal counting
Your advantage:
Efficiency: no sensor output-signal adaption required,
single cable connection including power supply
Reduction of analysis time
due to synchronized recording

What’s most valuable?Safety of classified data?
Your data
We protect your critical data by using reliable,
industrial solid state disks only (no consumer SSD!)
Concerned about vibrations?Respectful of system restore?
High shock and vibration rating
DEWE2 instruments are tested for high shock and
vibration resistance according international standards
Removable hard disk / SSD
The perfect way to protect your data, and also to
work easily within classified data environments.
Recovery inside
An internal dedicated SATA SSD drive stores the factory settings at time of shipment. Total recovery is
possible quickly, everywhere at any time and without
any external media

DEWE2 Synchronization
SYNC it all!
To create high channel count systems or for distributed measurements DEWE2 instruments support multiple synchronization options. A special feature is the perfectly hardware synchronized
video acquisition since also for data analysis the slogan ”a picture is worth a thousand words” is
true.
Synchronization of multiple DEWE2 systems via Sync-cable
Sync via TRION™ modules
To use TRION-BASE or TRION-TIMING modules for synchronization of multiple units is the most convenient and
easiest way.
Example:
Two instruments synchronized via
TRION-BASE modules
(multiple units possible)
WLAN
DEWE2-A4
with TRION-BASE module
DEWE2-M7s
with TRION-BASE module
User installation possible
Sync up to 1000 meters (IRIG DC, cable length delay compensation)
Example: Three instruments synchronized via TRION-TIMING modules (multiple units possible)

DEWE2-M13s

DEWE2-M7s
with TRION-TIMING module
Sync up to 100 meters via TRION-SYNC-BUS
Sync via chassis options
These options do not block a module slot but need to be
factory installed at time of initial order.

DEWE2 Synchronization
Synchronization to GPS or IRIG time-code
There are 2 ways how to synchronize DEWE2 instruments very accurately to absolute time. Both, GPS time and IRIG
time, enable execution of synchronized distributed measurements over unlimited distances. Each instrument (or
array of instruments) must be connected to the time-code via a TRION-TIMING module.
IRIG
Two instruments synchronized

GPS

VIDEO-SYNC
Hardware synchronized video of up to 200 frames per second
(camera clocked by DEWE2 instrument):
accurate per sample, no delay
Software synchronized low-cost video (USB or PAL/NTSC cameras):
optimized low latency, known delay of USB camera can be compensated
High speed video up to 500 000 frames per second:
online sync for Photron cameras, post-sync for any high-speed .avi file.
