TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
4.1. Main features
● USB/ETHERCAT INTERFACE: SIRIUS DAQ system can be connected via USB or EtherCAT to any
Windows compatible PC or to one of our high-performance SBOX data loggers .
● ANY SENSOR: Array of different amplifiers are available that can acquire data from virtually any
sensor on the market. IEPE, voltage, high voltage, charge, full / half / quarter bridge, LVDT, RTD,
thermocouples, current, resistance, counter, encoder, and digital inputs are available.
● UNIVERSAL ANALOG INPUTS: Universal analog amplifiers can accept voltage and full / half /
quarter bridge signals natively as well as IEPE, charge, thermocouples, RTD, current, resistance,
and LVDT signals with the use of DSI adapters .
● 160 dB DYNAMIC RANGE: Our DualCoreADC® technology boosts dual 24-bit delta-sigma ADC's
with an anti-aliasing filter on each analog channel, achieving astonishing 160 dB dynamic range
in time and frequency domain with 200 kHz sampling rate per channel.
● 1 MHz SAMPLING RATE: A combination of software and hardware allows for acquisition speeds
up to 1 MHz per channel on SIRIUS HS devices with real-time data processing and streaming to
disk.
● HIGH ISOLATION: High channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation prevents damage
to the systems from excessive voltage and avoids ground loops.
● FLEXIBLE AND SCALABLE: SIRIUS DAQ system can grow with your needs. You can start with a
single channel and scale the system to thousands of channels at any time.
● SENSOR POWER SUPPLY: Amplifiers provide channel-independent, programmable power
supply for sensor excitation.
● DIGITAL/COUNTER/ENCODER INPUTS: Each channel is capable of 3x digital inputs, 1x event
counter, encoder, period, pulse-width, duty-cycle, and precise frequency and angle
measurement using patented SUPERCOUNTER® technology.
● ISOLATED CAN INPUT: High speed CAN 2.0b channels with 1 Mbit/sec data throughput with
additional support for CCP, OBDII, J1939, and CAN output.
● ANALOG OUTPUTS/FUNCTION GENERATOR: SIRIUS slice can be configured with 8 analog
outputs which can also function as a multi-channel function generator (software option upgrade
required), analog replay, or control device with the output voltage signal of ±10 V.
● FULLY SYNCHRONIZED: Each channel, analog, digital, or CAN is synchronized with microsecond
accuracy.
● SOFTWARE INCLUDED WITH FREE LIFETIME UPGRADES: The easy-to-use but rich in
functionality, award-winning DEWESoft X3 software is included. All upgrades to the software are
free forever with no hidden licensing costs.
This chapter contains all information about SIRIUS® systems. The various measurement modules have
their own chapter: SIRIUS® Measurement Modules.
SIRIUS® is a data acquisition system, which offers the highest flexibility for inputs like the voltage,
current, temperature, strain, vibration, pressure, counters, CAN and more. The data transfer to the PC
can be done via USB or EtherCAT®.
