Startup
You can set what DewesoftX will do when you start it using the following options.
Multiple Instances
When this option is enabled, you can open DewesoftX multiple times on the same computer at the same time.
When using multiple instances, there are some limitation on accessing devices. Only one instance of DewesoftX allows connection to currently connected HW devices. When another instance is opened, scan of USB DAQ devices and discovery of network devices are automatically disabled.
If you have this option enabled, you can click DewesoftX.exe for the second time and the following window will appear. You can add a custom name to this instance here.
Each instance will create a new System folder (System/Instances/InstanceName). All changes for this instance will be there and will have no impact on the primary instance. Due to this arhitecture, no two instances can have the same name.
Use the - button to erase an already saved instance.
When opening an instance, you can choose a previously used instance you want to open. The name will be shown in the top right corner.
Instance Shortcut
You can prepare different shortcuts for each instance. In *.exe file properties, you need to adjust the Target.
When there are multiple strings with spaces in the name, you neeed to add the whole name in in quotation marks.
