System Monitor

This module allows you to monitor hardware and software resources and performance. It will extract information from your system(s) and display it as channels.

Each value can be set to Used and/or Stored. You may also choose to Shutdown on critical if it reaches a certain limit.

The picture above shows information that Dewesoft can extract from a computer. If you wish to hide certain columns or reorder them, right click on any column title and then on Edit columns.

NOTE: This information is directly related to the Performance monitor tool.

Dewesoft can also extract hardware debug information from connected data acquisition devices, such as synchronization status, IRIG time, VCXO value,… This option is located in Options - Settings - Advanced - Diagnostics.

Example - USB device: DEWE-43A

Example - EtherCAT device: IOLITE

Example - EtherCAT device: KRYPTON

Example - Additional channels for Syncronization for ECAT line:

You can also monitor DS Battery Pack status. To enable those channels, go to Options - Tools - Event viewer and enable Show information. Rescan devices afterwards by going to Options - Settings - Devices and pressing F5.

Example - DEWE-43 being powered with DS-BP2i
