Starting setup - where you can force DEWESoft to load a particular setup and screen when it loads
Security - where you can establish password protection of the setup mode
Internal variables - where you can dene project level variables which can be used in Math channels,
displayed on the screen, etc. These can be text or numeric variables.
Data header - where you can set up a data entry box that will appear automatically before or after data
storage, to force the operator to enter whichever test parameters you want added to the data le
Memory - top level control of DEWESoft’s use of physical RAM
The settings that you make here will apply to only the active Project! This is a lot of exibility.
Most of the project subsections are obvious how to use, so we won’t get into them here in the QuickStart.
But there are two subsections worth a closer look: Internal Variables and Data Header, so we will do that
now!
Internal Variables
Here you can dene variables which will exist at the Project level. That means that they will be available to
all setups which are created when this project is active. Variables can be in the form of TEXT or NUMERIC
values.
To create a variable, click the [+] symbol, and a default channel will be added, which you can directly edit.
You can rename the variable’s ID, channel name, and even give it a unit of measurement and color, if it will
be used as a channel. Next you can set the TYPE of data that it should contain: whether a oating, integer,
or text value.
If it is a numeric type, you can set the channel type to single or async. This does not apply to text data types.
A “single” value means that it is treated like a static number in DEWESoft.
