IOLITE® 
TECHNICAL  REFERENCE  MANUAL 
Microsoft® 
Corporation   is   a   public   multinational   corporation   head-quartered   in   Redmond,   Washington,   USA   that            
develops,  manufactures,   licenses,   and   supports   a   wide   range   of   products   and   services   predominantly             
related  to  computing  through  its  various  product  divisions. 
DEWESoft®  is  a  Windows®  based  application  and  thus  a  Windows®  operating  system  must  be  installed               
on  the  measurement  PC  where  DEWESoft®  is  installed. 
NET  Option 
aka.  DEWESoft  NET,  DEWE  NET 
With   DEWE-NET   your   measurement   system   can   be   controlled   remotely   with  ease  of  use  you  couldn't               
imagine  before.  DEWE-NET  also  serves  as  the  center  of  Distributed  Data  Acquisition  systems  where  you               
have   multiple   systems   located   either   together   or   scattered   across   an   entire   continent.   IRIG   and   GPS               
time  will  take  care  that  data  will  stay  synchronised,  no  matter  how  long  the  acquisition  runs. 
OS 
An   operating   system   (OS)   is   a   set   of   system   software   running   on   a   device   that   manages   the   system                  
hardware. 
This  may  refer  to  the  operating  system  of  a  PC  (Windows  is  required  for  DEWESoft®)  or  to  the  operating                   
system  of  the  SIRIUS®  system. 
PC 
SIRIUS®   systems   are   typically   connected   to   a   Personal   Computer  which  runs  DEWESoft®  to  fetch  the               
measurement  data. 
RMS 
Root  Mean  Square  (RMS),  also  known  as  the  quadratic  mean,  is  a  statistical  measure  of  the  magnitude  of                  
a  varying  quantity.  It  is  especially  useful  when  variables  are  positive  and  negative,  e.g.,  sinusoids.  RMS  is                 
used  in  various  fields,  including  electrical  engineering. 
RTD 
Resistance   thermometers,   also   called   resistance   temperature   detectors   or   resistive   thermal   devices           
(RTDs),   are   temperature   sensors   that   exploit   the   predictable   change   in   electrical   resistance   of   some              
materials  with  changing  temperature;  e.g.  Pt100  and  Pt1000.
