Image 3: Connection over Ethernet



2.2.2.1. Sample rate limitation when connected with EthernetWhen connecting the device via Ethernet there is a limitation of sample rate, depending on how manychannels we want to use.

Nr. of channels used in measure Data Rate / channel

2 15 MS/s

4 5 MS/s

6 1,875 MS/s

8 1 MS/s

2.2.2.2. Ethernet configuration on the PCAs SIRIUSi-XHS® is a network device with static IP, you need to adjust the Network Card settings whenconnecting it via Ethernet. The ethernet port on your SBOX, data logger or PC should be configured in away to match the IP address of the SIRIUSi-XHS® device.

ExampleSIRIUSi-XHS® has the IP address 192.168.10.1Your network adapter should be set to:- IP: 192.168.10.x, where x is number from 2-255- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0



Image 4: Setting up IP address

2.2.2.3. TroubleshootingIf DewesoftX® doesn’t detect your devices you should try pinging them via command prompt. Incommand prompt write: ping IP replace IP with IP that is set on your device.The result should be something like this:

Image 5: ping IP in Command Prompt



2.2.3. DewesoftX® settings for SIRIUSi-XHS®The connected device will show up in the DewesoftX® settings. Click on the Options button at the topright, and then on the Settings item in the pop-up to open the DewesoftX® settings dialogue.

Image 6: DewesoftX® settings

In case the XHS device is connected via USB, the device will automatically be listed under the Dewesoftdevices. When you select the device the properties pane at the right will show the related data e.g. Serialnumber, Firmware version, etc.



Image 7: the device shown in Device list

When you connect the SIRIUSi-XHS® device over Ethernet the device is treated as a RT device andtherefore needs to be configured in that way. Adding a new XHS device is done by clicking the plusbutton in the device screen. This will show the Add device window where you can find and select aReal-time controller option. If two SIRIUSi-XHS® devices are used, two different RT devices need to beadded to the device list.



Image 8: Adding RT device

From the 2020.2 Release candidate version the RT-device option is no longer experimental. Inolder software versions the Support of RT-devices is still an Experimental feature and it needs tobe enabled under advanced -> Experimental settings.



After that you will see a new SIRIUSi-XHS® or Dewesoft RT connection in the device tree.

Image 9: RT device Connection

If the text by the device is disconnected, you should click on the device (Dewesoft RT Connection) , setthe correct IP and refresh.



Image 10: Setting IP

If everything is set correctly both devices should be detected as SiriusXHS devices.



Image 11: Devices overview

Before measurement you need to set synchronization. This is done by selecting Local system andselecting time source. When you have only one device you can select the Dewesoft DAQ devices andAutomatic/Standalone mode.

Image 12: Setting synchronization

When you have multiple XHS devices you can use External (Clock provider) as PTP (Precision TimeProtocol) and Dewesoft DAQ Devices (Clock slave) as PTP.



2.2.4. Channel Setup SIRIUSi-XHS®When Dewesoft has started up, you will be in the Measure mode and see the Setup files list or you cancreate a New setup ❶. Click on Ch. setup (on the right of Setup files) to switch to the Channel setup

mode❷. In the channel setup you can see a preview of the connected devices on the upper left side.

Image 13: Setup files

HintWhen you click on a connector in the image the corresponding channel in the Channel setupgrid will automatically be selected. This also works the other way around: when you select achannel (or multiple channels) in the setup grid, the corresponding connectors in the imagewill be highlighted.

The sampling rate will be set for all connected SIRIUSi-XHS® units: of course only up to the max.sampling rate of the individual units.

In channel setup mode you can set the wanted sample rate, range etc. and select channels you want tomeasure.

Image 14: Channel setup



2.3. Simple MeasurementThis chapter describes measurement basics, how to configure SIRIUSi-XHS® and gives some details onthe measurement setup.

2.3.1. Help - ManualNote that this document is just a quick start guide. For detailed information about Dewesoft consult theManual. To open the manual press the F1 button or click on the Options button ❶ and then select

Manual from the pop-up menu❷.

Image 15: Help - Manual

When DewesoftX® has started up, you will be in Measure mode and see the Setup files list. Click on Ch.setup (on the right of Setup files) to switch to the Channel setup mode.

2.3.2. Analogue channel setupIn the analog channel setup screen you can see all channels of your connected SIRIUS systems. Perdefault only the first channel will be set to Used. Unused channels will not show up in measure modeand can thus not be used for display, calculations or storing: thus, we will also set the other channels tothe used. You can left-click on the Used column of channel 2❶, hold the mouse button and move the

mouse down to channel 6❷: then release the mouse button and all channels will be selected – this isshown by the black rectangle around the buttons. Then you can click into the selected region to toggleUsed/Unused for all channels at once. The selected channels will also be highlighted in the smallpreview image of the device❸.

When you press the Setup button of a channel (the column at the right edge of the channel table – notshown in this screen-shot), you can change all the settings of the channel amplifier. You can alsochange the sample rate of SIRIUS❹.



Image 16: Channel setup screen

2.3.3. Sample rateOne of the most important settings is the sample rate. The sample rate defines how many data pointsSIRIUS will transfer to the Dewesoft. Higher sample rate also means that more data needs to betransferred via USB to your computer.

The sampling speed mainly depends on your application. To display your signal in a time domain with agood time resolution, you should sample 10 to 20 times faster than the frequency of the signal that youwant to measure, e.g. 1 kS/s for a 50 Hz sine-wave. If you have a lot of high frequency components, it maybe necessary to sample 100 times faster, e.g. 5 kS/s for the 50 Hz sine-wave, or even more. If you displayonly the frequency domain (FFT analysis), a 2.5 times faster sampling would be sufficient (125 S/s for the50 Hz sine-wave). The higher the sampling rate, the better the time resolution. But also the file size willincrease.

Image 17: Sample rate



2.3.4. Measurement ModeA click on Measure (at the right side of Ch. setup in Illustration 11) will take you to the Recorder screenmeasure mode where you can already see live data.

HintWhen switching to Measure mode the data will not be stored automatically.

Image 18: Measure mode

In measure mode you can have several measurement screens❺. Dewesoft will create 2 default displays:Recorder and Custom but you can also create new displays or change the widgets on existing displaysas you like.The most important sections of the Measure mode are highlighted in screen-shot Illustration “Measuremode”:❶ shows the live measurement data in different widgets which are depending on the selectedmeasurement screen. In this case we see a simple recorder widget where data is presented in timedomain. You can use the channel-selector list❷ to assign measurement channels to the widgets. Each

widget has different settings,❸ shows the settings of the currently selected recorder widget.

To start storing the data, press the Store button❹. When you are done with recording, press the Stopbutton.

Now Dewesoft has created a data file with all the data that you have seen during the recording session.You can now click the Analyse button (on the left-top of the screen to the right of the Measure button)to go to Analyse mode.

2.3.5. Analyse ModeWhen you have just stopped a measurement, DewesoftX® will automatically open the last recordeddata file in Review mode, so that you can start the analysis right away.



Image 19: Analyse mode

The Review mode is much like the measurement mode. You will see the same measurement screens,the channel-selector list and the properties of the currently selected instrument.Differences are:(1) you have additional tool-buttons(2) there is a Signal overview window which will show you the whole data of one selected channel of thedata file

Now you can use the cursors to analyse your data, zoom in and out of the data, click Offline math to addcomputations based on your data, etc. You can also change the design of your measurement screens,print reports based on your data and export the data to other file formats for further analysis.

2.4. Advanced configurationNote, that the Dewesoft launcher has already done the hardware setup for you – you can check this inthe Settings dialogue. Click the Option button❶ – and then click the Settings menu item❷.



Image 20: Open settings dialogue

2.5. Firmware upgrade● Download the Dewesoft upgrade package (.dxu file) from the Dewesoft downloads page under

the section Drivers.● Copy the file into the Firmwares folder of your Dewesoft installation (e.g.

D:\DewesoftX\System\X3\Firmwares).● Connect the Dewesoft instrument to the PC and run Dewesoft X3.● Go to settings under the Update tab:

2.6. LicensingSIRIUSi-XHS® or any other Dewesoft device already comes with an embedded Dewesoft license. Youcan check the license details with all the available options in the Licensing tab❶ by pressing the three

dotted button ❻. However, if the user decides to upgrade the license with an additional extension,

Dewesoft will require a new license registration. The registration can be made online ❷ or offline by

importing an offline license ❺ in case the system doesn’t have an internet connection. Offline licensecan be registered on a different PC with the internet connection. If needed, the license can also bewritten on the actual device❺.

Active and embedded licenses are seen under Active licenses tab❺. If the license is recognized as noneactive, it usually means that the wrong license was entered.

Image 21: Licensing

HINTAll licenses regarding SIRIUSi-XHS® will only work when the SIRIUSi-XHS® system is connectedto your PC and the device has been activated in the hardware setup.

IMPORTANTCurrently the license can not be written directly to the XHS- device.



2.7. TroubleshootingIf your SIRIUSi-XHS® device is not found by DewesoftX® :

● If you did not restart Windows after the software installation, restart now● Make sure that you have started DewesoftX® version Release Candidate 2020.2, Development

2021.1 or higher● Make sure that the external power supply is connected and okay● Disconnect the network cable and reconnect it. If this does not work, try to connect the network

cable to another Ethernet port of your PC● Try to restart DewesoftX®● Try to restart the PC



3. System overview

SIRIUSi-XHS®

Sirius XHS is the first device ever with Hybrid ADC technology capable of doing both high bandwidthtransient recording and very high dynamic alias-free acquisition - software-selectable per channel.

Modern interfaces and protocols allow open and flexible connectivity.

Thermocouple RTD DSI compatible TEDS Compatible Vibrations Sound

Sound pressure USB 3.0 Ethernet XCP/CCP OPC UA IP50

-10°C to 50°C Shock rating 50g



3.1. Main features

● HYBRID ADC TECHNOLOGY: offers everything you ever wanted out of a high-end dataacquisition device; software selectable per channel:

○ HIGH SAMPLING RATE HIGH BANDWIDTH: 15 MS/sec sampling rate captures even theshortest transients;

○ HIGH DYNAMIC ALIAS-FREE: Alias free filtering allows perfect acquisition of signals withup to 160 dB dynamic, similar performance than our best Dual-core Sirius, better than 24bit.

● PERFECT SYNCHRONIZATION: even though users can select some channels to be highbandwidth and some to be alias-free, filtering is made in the way that all signals are perfectlytime aligned with zero phase shift.

● MODERN DATA INTERFACES: GLAN interface allows the distribution of devices with PTPv2synchronization; the USB3 interface allows the fastest data transfers with a quick connection tothe computer.

● OPEN PROTOCOLS: data is transferred to any host using open OPC UA industry-standardprotocol; in parallel the data is available over XCP protocol, allowing connection to ECUcalibration software packages.

● HIGH ISOLATION: High channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation prevents damageto the systems from excessive voltage and avoids ground loops.

● SMALLEST FORM FACTOR: With the standard Sirius size you can easily carry the XHS in yourbackpack along with your laptop for field measurements.

● SOFTWARE INCLUDED WITH FREE LIFETIME UPGRADES: The easy-to-use but rich infunctionality, award-winning DEWESoft X3 software is included. All upgrades to the software arefree forever with no hidden licensing costs.



3.1.1. Hybrid ADC technologyUser can select for each channel two modes of operation:

a) High bandwidth mode: with 5 MHz bandwidth and 15 Ms/sec sampling rate, XHS can perfectlyacquire impulse, step and square signals without any ringing or overshoot. Such a mode isperfect for transient recording and power analysis. Such acquisition mode is typically in SARADCs.

b) Alias free mode: up to 1 Ms/sec data can be acquired with extremely high dynamic, similar to ourdual 24 bit SIRIUS dual-core. The data is totally alias-free, so all higher frequencies are fullyrejected. Such a mode is perfect for sound, vibration, and general data recording applications.Such acquisition mode is typically in Sigma-Delta ADCs.

Usually, you would need two totally separate devices for the above-mentioned applications. But onSIRIUS XHS you can select channel per channel, depending on the application, the appropriate mode ofADC operation.

3.1.2. Perfect synchronization

If you mix channels from Sigma-Delta andSAR devices (high bandwidth and alias-free),then channels are delayed due toSIgma-delta filtering group delay. But withSIRIUS XHS, due to the nature of the chosenfilter, both modes are perfectly aligned andsynchronized.

As on any Dewesoft devices, data can besynchronized to other data sources, such asvehicle bus interface, GPS, IMU, video, andothers.

Devices can be synchronized between eachother using PTPv2 mechanism, IRIG or PPSsignal. This also provides absolute timesynchronization using in-house time servers

or GPS.

3.1.3. Open interface protocols

In today’s world of open toolchain and intercommunication, each device should be compliant withstandard protocols. All protocols can be used at the same time.

OPC UA: is the industry standard. Actually, it is more than a standard, it is a perfect framework wherethe device can be described and set up in any system, including SCADA, MES, ERP, mobile devices andothers.



XCP: Starting with version 1.4., XCP became a very powerful interface protocol in the automotiveindustry for data exchange. In the modern age of e-mobility, the required sampling rates are muchhigher than ever and 1 GBIT XCP interface allows data transfers with as high as 1 Ms/sec.

3.1.4. Data Acquisition Software Included for Free

All Dewesoft data acquisition systems are bundled with award winning Dewesoft Professional DAQsoftware. DewesoftX is the world's most advanced and easy-to-use data acquisition and analysissoftware. Dewesoft 's flexibility and power will help you unleash the DAQ system to its full potential andgives you many advantages over other DAQ systems. Functionalities like plug-and-play, hardwareauto-detection, smart TEDS sensors, advanced storing and data analysis features will take yourmeasurement and analysis needs to a whole new level.

5. Real-time controller - XCP slave settingsWith the SIRIUSi-XHS® device, data can be run in parallel over the XCP protocol, when the device isconnected in Run-time mode over Ethernet. Follow the instructions written in chapter 2.2.3.DewesoftX® settings for SIRIUSi-XHS®, to properly connect and set the device.

The XCP settings must be specified in Dewesoft software and properly uploaded to the device. Whenthe settings are done and the RT-mode is properly started, Dewesoft can be closed. The maximumsample rate for data transmitted over the XCP protocol is 1Mhz.

5.1. XCP-Slave module settings

The Real-time controller module is added in the Channel setup the same way as any other module. Ifthe module can not be selected, you need to re-check in settings if the RT device is properly configuredand recognized.

Image 53: Adding RT controller module

When you enter the Module the following settings will appear. If multiple RT devices are connected, aseparate tab will be created for each one❶ .



Image 54: RT controller module settings

5.1.1. XCP output settings❷To enable the XCP output the “Enable XCP output” check-box needs to be ticked, otherwise no data willbe transmitted.

With the current version of XCP slave only the TCP/IP transport layer is supported, so therefore only thisoption can be chosen from the drop-down list.

Re-check that the IP address is static and that matches the IP address of the connected RT device.

Under the port setting you can set on which port the XCP slave will open the connection. The defaultsetting is 5555.

5.1.2. XCP Event settings❸The XCP Event settings will be recalculated from the chosen dynamic acquisition rate, that is set in theAnalog In tab.. Time unit is defined as time between two samples. The Time Cycle is a divider that isneeded to reach the actual time unit.

ExampleWhen 100kHz SR is chosen, the time unit is 10us and the Time Cycle is 1. When we increase theSR to 200kHz, the Time unit is 1us and the Time Cycle is therefore 5.

When a Time cycle is not a rounded number, the XCP module will give you a warning.



Image 55: Incorrect divider

ImportantThe maximum sample rate that can be used with the XCP module is 1 MHz. When a highersample rate is chosen the module will pop-out the warning.

Image 55: Incorrect sample rate

5.1.3. XCP outputs (channels)❹This section is for setting up the XCP outputs. Here you can just click the Auto-Generatebutton, which will populate the list with all available device channels, which are set to used(you can set them to USED under Analog in).

Image 56: Generated AI channels

If the channels will be changed to UNUSED under the Analog Input module, the XCP slave willrecognize those channels and will mark them in red.



5.1.4. Generating A2L file❺When you are done with the previous steps you can export all XCP slave settings to A2L file,by clicking the Generate A2L button. If you modified any of the settings you will be prompted to rebuildand upload XCP settings to the device. It’s important that you click yes.

Image 57: Rebuild and upload warning

5.1.5. Download and Upload button❻When you properly set the settings you can press the Upload button, which will upload all the settingsdirectly to the device. An additional Download button is added, that can “Read” the settings directlyfrom the device, once they are properly uploaded.

5.2. Start the XCP protocolWhen all the settings are set the device needs to be put in the RT mode, for that you need to pressSTART button❼. After start you can connect to XCP slave via XCP master (e.g. Dewesoft, Canape). If you

want to start all the RT devices at once press the Start all button❽.

There is also an additional option Restart acquisition on device startup , for setting the device directlyto RT-mode right away the device is reconnected back to power supply. For this option to work properly,the device needs to be in the RT mode when unplugged from the power supply.

Image 58: Restart acquisition on device startup



6. Troubleshooting6.1. Device not recognized when connected over USBWhen the device is connected over the USB an additional Ethernet network card is created. If the USBdevice is not seen in Dewesoft the user needs to disable the Opto Stream drivers in the Ethernetnetwork card.

Opto Stream drivers disabled

6.2. Clear static configurationIn any case that the device got stuck in channel setup and the user can not proceed to measure mode ,you can clear all the configuration from the device with the “clear static configuration” button that canbe found in Device settings.
