DEWE3-A8/A12: The Portable High-Channel Data Acquisition system

At DEWETRON, we believe that innovation should simplify testing, not complicate it. That philosophy drives our newest release: the DEWE3-A8/A12, a powerful and portable high-channel data acquisition system designed for engineers who demand precision, flexibility, and reliability.

As the successor to the DEWE2-A13, the DEWE3 series sets a new benchmark for performance and usability across industries including automotive, renewable energy, aviation and aerospace, as well as manufacturing and industrial testing.

Compact power for complex measurement tasks

The DEWE3-A8/A12 delivers the versatility of a laboratory-grade measurement system in a portable, all-in-one form factor.

The DEWE3-A8 offers eight TRION(3) module slots and supports up to 64 high-speed input channels, while the DEWE3-A12 expands this capacity to 12 slots and 96 channels. With a gapless data recording rate of up to 1 GB/s, engineers can capture fast, transient signals with absolute accuracy – essential when testing power electronics, mechanical structures, or flight components.

A bright 18.5-inch multi-touch Full-HD display enables intuitive control, data visualization, and system configuration directly on the device. Combined with its integrated PC and rugged housing, the DEWE3 is truly portable and thus ideal for use in the lab, on the production floor, or directly in the field.

Engineered for real-world testing

From renewable energy systems to aerospace structures, modern testing environments require instruments that can adapt quickly to different sensor types and conditions. The DEWE3-A8/A12 meets this need with its modular TRION(3) architecture, allowing seamless measurement of voltage, current, strain, vibration, temperature, and digital or bus signals such as CAN and ARINC.

Its flexibility makes it perfectly suited for a wide range of applications, including:

• Automotive development: validation of electric powertrains, hybrid systems, and vehicle dynamics
• Renewable energy testing: analysis of wind turbines, inverters, and grid interfaces
• Aviation and aerospace: vibration, load, and systems testing under demanding conditions
• Manufacturing and industrial environments: troubleshooting, process monitoring, and end-of-line inspection

Wherever precise data and dependable performance are needed, DEWE3 systems deliver consistent, gapless measurement results.
 
 

Precision power analysis anywhere

For engineers focusing on electrical testing, the DEWE3-A8-PA variant transforms the system into a portable mixed-signal power analyzer. It supports up to 16 power phases, offers sampling rates up to 10 MS/s per channel, and achieves a basic power accuracy of ±0.04 % (0.5–1000 Hz).

With a system bandwidth of 800 MB/s for continuous raw data recording and redundant current transducer power supplies, the DEWE3-A8-PA provides laboratory-grade power analysis in a transportable format – ideal for on-site performance validation of motors, drives, converters, and energy systems.

Seamless software integration

Hardware is only half the story. Every DEWE3- data acquisition system comes with OXYGEN, our intuitive measurement software. OXYGEN enables real-time data visualization, analysis, and reporting directly on the device with the ability to apply filters and calculations on the fly. This seamless integration ensures a smooth workflow from acquisition to analysis, eliminating the need for additional post-processing tools.

Designed for the future of test and measurement

Whether you’re optimizing next-generation aircraft components, validating renewable power systems, or troubleshooting high-speed manufacturing lines, the DEWE3-A8/A12 empowers you with accuracy, scalability, and ease of use. Its robust construction, high throughput, and intuitive OXYGEN software make it a complete measurement solution for any test engineer – wherever innovation happens.

The DEWE3-A8/A12 isn’t just an upgrade to the DEWE2-A13; it’s a future-ready platform for precise, portable, and high-performance data acquisition across industries. With this new system, DEWETRON once again proves that great engineering is all about measuring smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
