The Dewetron DEWE-2010 is a portable data acquisition system that functions as a complete computing platform for precision measurement and real-time analysis. Built on industrial-grade COTS components, it captures, processes, and analyzes signals in a single integrated unit without requiring external computation infrastructure. The system delivers 30 to 45 MB/s data throughput and supports expansion to 64 measurement channels, making it suitable for field testing, structural monitoring, and multi-sensor applications.
