In this approach, multiple DEWE systems are synchronized using either IRIG or GPS time code.
Each still records their own data, but the data files are perfectly synchronized for analysis in third
party software (such as Flexpro or Matlab). In addition, because the software option DS-OPT-NET is
installed on each acquistion unit, a master controller can view channels from ALL of the connected
measuring units in real time.
In the NETWORK configuration, each instrument must have the hardware option UP-ORION-SYNC and
the software option DS-OPT-NET. Synchronization of all units is required, via either
(1) a simple SYNC cable connection, for distances up to 200 m, or
(2) DEWE-CLOCK (internal or external), for long distances when a SYNC cable connection is not
possible.
The DS-OPT-NET software offers full remote setup, online data transfer up to the limit of the network
connection and offline data transfer between the instruments.
- User tip: The NET expansion allows multiple usages of the PC power and fast storing capability. Multiple decen-
tralized hard disks oer almost no limit for fast data storing.
Above - direct SYNC of two or more DEWE systems
using the ORION-SYNC option installed onto the
chassis, and DS-OPT-NET software.
One measuring unit can be set as the master con-
troller of both, or you can use a separate Windows
computer as a master client to remotely control all
synchronized units. The master controller is con-
nected via ethernet to each measuring unit (typically
a dedicated ethernet switch is used).
Right - when the systems are too far apart for the
ORION-SYNC to be connected, the DEWE-CLOCK
is used to sync the units via either IRIG or GPS time
code signals.
The rest of the system is the same, as described
above.
