Add Device
DewesoftX devices that work on USB are nativly supported and automatically detected devices. Network devices are only automatically detected, but the user need to add them manually in the HW-settings.
We also offer support for other 3rd party devices via our device modules and extensions. All 3rd party device modules/extensions need to be added manually in the system configuration.
All the added devices or modules/extensions are saved in the currently used project file.
Add network devices, MUs in Dewesoft NET and Device modules
When in HW settings simply click on the plus button on top of your window. A new view will open, where you will see all the listed network devices, Measurement Units in Dewesoft NET and other device modules.
Also, you can add multiple items to the system configuration at the same time by selecting the “add multiple” option on the top of the widnow.
Network devices
Discovery module inside DewesoftX automatically detects network devices and list them under the “Detected devices” in HW settings. All the device properties are shown on the bottom tab (IP, MAC, Location, Operation mode).
To add them in the setup configuration simply click on the listed device.
INCORECT NETWORK SETTINGS In case the device is on a different subnet as the network card, the discovery module will still find the device and will give you the notification to Check the network settings. The discovery module gives you the ability to change the IP address of the device directly inside Dewesoft, where also the IP and subnet of the Network card is seen.
DEVICE IS NOT DETECTED There are a lot of reasons that your network device is not properly detected in DewesoftX software. Please check your firewall settings before using the network devices.
If your device is still not detected you can press the “… my device isn’t listed” option. From here you can attempt to add Microsoft Windows firewall rules that may be the reason that you device is not detected.
Additionally you can add your device with the IP address.
Removal of devices
WARNING: All settings of the selected devices will be deleted when we remove it!
To remove a single device, you sholuld open Settings window (Options/Settings) and choose Devices tab. Then simply click on the particular device and use minus button to remove it from the setup file.
To remove all enabled devices from the device list at once (it will remove all devices connected via net cable or all devices which can be added with ‘Add devices’ button), press to right (3 dots) button, and chose remove all devices.
For refreshing the device list in device HW settings a new keyboard shortcut can be used - F5.
