One of the most important settings is the sample rate. The sample rate defines how many data points                  
IOLITE® will transfer to DEWESoft®. A higher sample rate also means that more data needs to be                 

The sampling speed mainly depends on your application. To display your signal in a time domain with a                  
good time resolution, you should sample 10 to 20 times faster than the frequency of the signal that you                   
want to measure, e.g. 1 kS/s for a 50 Hz sine-wave. If you have a lot of high frequency components, it may                      
