Introduction to DEWESoftX (Conference Room A)
Tuesday, May 21st - 1 Day Class 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Lunch provided.
Class Size: 20+Participants
Presenters: Al Hoge
Course Description:
This seminar will introduce new users to the award-winning DEWESoftX software used by tens of thousands of Engineers, Technicians, and Measurement Professionals across the world. We will cover almost every facet of the software, from installing it to exporting data. We will gain familiarity with DEWESoft Hardware and Software by understanding the basic communication methods, configuration, and use of a few items in a project file. How to configure and setup a basic voltage and temperature measurement. The use of Math Formulas, the basic usage of Math Functions, and the ability to perform logical statements. Finally, the ability to store, review, and export data. In addition, there are 10 'Hands-on' tutorials that will reinforce the material covered in this seminar.
Data Acquisition Technology (Conference Room B)
Tuesday, May 21st - 1 Day Class 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Lunch provided.
Class Size: 20+Participants
Presenters: Dave Gallop
Course Description:
This seminar aims to fill in the blanks in respect of what happens between where you are measuring and where you are recording those signals. In order to appreciate the results gathered, having an understanding of how both the sensors and the signal conditioning work will ensure you have confidence in your results. It covers best practices and offers some time-saving tips and advice that you may benefit from.

Introduction to Digital Communications (Conference Room B)
Wednesday, May 22nd - 1 Day Class 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Lunch provided.
Class Size: 20+Participants
Presenters: Dave Gallop
Course Description:
There are many different digital communications in use today, ranging from simple serialized streams to complex event-related protocols such as CAN FD. This seminar is designed to provide an overview of the many formats and how to use them, collect data in DEWESoftX and the various hardware interfaces, and utilize these valuable sources with your analog and digital data. We will include some examples of many and explain how they work so that when you use them yourself, you will have an insight into what to expect!
Prerequisite: Some knowledge of DEWESoft.
DAY 3 (2 choices)
Introduction to Automation (Conference Room A)
Thursday, May 23rd - 1 Day Class 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Lunch provided.
Class Size: 20+Participants
Presenters: Al Hoge
Course Description:
This seminar will build on the fundamentals learned in DEWESoft Basic Seminar and introduce an overview of control and output capabilities from DEWESoft. The class will begin with a brief refresher on a few topics learned from the DEWESoft Basic Seminar. These include Project Files and their roles in DEWESoft Automation and Controls, Data Headers, Global Variables, and User Inputs. Afterward, the seminar will discuss the various DEWESoft platforms available regarding Analog and Digital Outputs and the various DEWESoft platforms. This will lead to understanding Automation and Control's basic terminology, utilizing and wiring the various digital input, digital output, and analog options offered by DEWESoft, and an overview of real-time vs. non-real-time regarding latency. Hands-on tutorials that will create a setup file using various Math Formula Functions, User Inputs, Alarms, and Aborts. Creation of a PWM signal using Math Channels and Sequencer. Lastly, a brief overview of Modbus TCP, Serial, and OPC UA for controls and communication with 3rd party devices. This class is intended to prepare the DEWESoft User for the topics and options (PID, Function Generator, Signal Play, PWM, and Sequencer (Intermediate) that will be covered in the Automation Basic Seminar.
Prerequisite:
Knowledge of DEWESoft fundamentals: How to configure and setup analog input channels, basic understanding of Math Formula and Functions, mostly logic (If, And, Or And Not) statements and/or DEWESoft Basic Seminar
Signal Integrity (Conference Room B)
Thursday, May 23rd - 1 Day Class 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Lunch provided.
Class Size: 20+Participants
Presenters: John Hiatt
Course Description:
This tutorial will inform the attendees of uncertainties in the data acquisition process, cover in detail the transformation from the time to frequency domain, and provide attendees with an understanding of how filters work and impact the data. The intent is to clearly define, in a practical sense, errors that occur in these processes and how to mitigate them. We will also understand the assumptions made and how to deal with their impact when transforming this data from the time to the frequency domain. We hope the attendees will learn from our mistakes and better understand these processes.
Prerequisite: none
