Data acquisition After learning the patterns and
correlations between variables, the supervised machine learning model had the capability to pinpoint which variables, for different operating conditions, play the most crucial role in identifying the stated error. This would negate the need for end-users to have the necessary working knowledge to make the decisions as to which variables are important. It is clear that through the use of
machine learning models and advanced modelling techniques, valuable information can be extracted from data which end-users will benefit from, allowing them to improve their decision- making and ability to diagnose faults. As the world moves further towards
digitalisation, more data is being produced than ever before. However, to realise the benefits of using advanced modelling techniques and to prevent data from becoming the new plastic, high quality input data is needed. This requires end-users to have a well maintained and structured data system and a better understanding of the intricacies that lie within the data. Input from industry experts is also needed to account for human experience in specific scenarios to optimise the information that can be extracted and realise the true impact of data modelling techniques for industry.

DewesoftX software upgraDes releaseD at No Cost to users

ewesoft has announced the release of DewesoftX 2021.4. The new version includes free upgrades to the Linked
Processing Markers, the Reporting Add-in for Microsoft Word, J1939 Multiframe Support, and much more. DewesoftX users can download the new version at no cost.
Linked Processing Markers The Linked Processing Markers revamp significantly improves performance and adds new capabilities. The FFT Markers available on the 2D Graph widget now have dedicated marker output channels allowing for the export and analysis of marker readings. New marker functionalities have been added, including Peak search, Value interpolation, the option to use scalar channels to drive marker positions, and a brand new Vector Cut marker and Trigger marker. These new capabilities open a whole new world of possibilities for data analysis applications. The set of 3D Graph markers is also expanded
and now includes the X and Y Harmonic Cut, Max, and Free markers. FFT Markers are fully linked with all Cut markers, allowing for simultaneous visualization in both the 2D and 3D space. All markers can now also be moved by keyboard for pixel-perfect positioning when extracting harmonics and other parameters from your data.
rePorting add-in for Microsoft Word For advanced reporting needs, the Reporting Add- in for Microsoft Word acts as a bridge between DewesoftX and Word, allowing engineers to seamlessly integrate data acquired with DewesoftX into their reports. Using copy-and- paste, any display widget can be pasted into Word, which now creates a dynamic link between the two documents. Any changes made in DewesoftX can be automatically applied to the linked Word document with the click of a button. Multiple data files can be linked to the same Word
document, allowing the creation of multi-run reports. If further clarification is needed when presenting a report, the correct file can be automatically loaded into DewesoftX by selecting the widget in question and pressing the OPEN button in Word.
iMProved channeL seLector The channel selector has been modified to make it easier to find and display the desired channels. To start, engineers can choose whether they want to see all available channels, only the ones that can be assigned to the selected widget, or only channels that are stored. When moving from widget to widget, the channel groups now remain in the same state, either expanded or collapsed and the position of the slider in the channel list is retained when displaying all available channels. New group actions such as Expand or Collapse all
channel groups, as well as clear channels from either the widget, widget group, or the entire display, are now available, making it easier to quickly update

widgets. Channels can also be added faster to new widgets by using the “Add to next slot” action, as can be seen in the example above.
channeL LiMits iMProveMent The channel limits provide a quick and easy way of monitoring if channel readings are reaching undesired values. The existing functionality has been improved to speed up the configuration time and make it even easier to detect unwanted behavior. Whenever assigning new Warn/Crit limits to a channel, the notification about the limit being exceeded will be held indefinitely, or until the channel’s status is reset. Alternatively, a hold time can be defined after which the notification will automatically be cleared. For better traceability, an alarm message can be written into the alarm log channel.
interaction With channeL LiMits To speed up display building, DewesoftX can now automatically colour the readings on digital meters or draw limit lines on the recorder.
fft anaLysis UPdate The FFT Analysis module update boasts a thorough UI refresh, combining all recently introduced new functionalities in a user-friendly manner to keep one of the most widely used DewesoftX tools in tip-top shape. The FFT Analysis now supports a searchable cross-spectrum reference field, making it easier to configure for high channel count systems. In addition, the calculation functionalities were expanded with the support for extraction of non-integer harmonics and straightforward selection among the standard SI output units.
J1939 MULti-fraMe sUPPort New developments in the electric vehicle market are setting up standards for the communication between the vehicle and the charger. One of those is the GB/T 27930, a Chinese standard for communication protocols between the off-board conductive charger and the battery management system for electric vehicles. The standard uses the CAN bus with J1939 multi-
frame messages. To support this, DewesoftX’s CAN module has been upgraded and expanded. Up to now, only single messages up to 64 bits were supported. With the expansion, this function is available as standard, and any J1939 DBC file that has multi-frame messages will automatically be recognized, and its messages will be properly imported and decoded. This upgrade also supports decoding of NMEA2000 messages. DewesoftX 2021.4 is a free upgrade for all
Dewesoft customers and is compatible with all Dewesoft data acquisition systems. You can download it from the Dewesoft download centre, where you will also find a change-log listing all the minor improvements and bug fixes.
