Sensor database

Dewesoft offers an efficient, helpful sensor database. In addition to the linear scaling, which can be done also in the input Channel setup, the sensor database offers beside other information about sensor also scaling by table or polynomial, even transfer curves can be defined.

Dewesoft has some pre-defined sensors in his sensor database. But the pre-defined demo sensors are for sure not what you would need for your real application.

How to define your own sensors? To do that select in Options menu Editors / Analog sensors and the sensor editor will open.
