The Dewesoft SIRIUS XR is a new generation rack mounted data acquisition system. Engineered for high-performance measurement applications that require scalability, flexibility and precise synchronisation.
Built around Dewesoft’s SIRIUS X and SIRIUS XHS technology, SIRIUS XR combines advanced signal conditioning with high-speed data acquisition capabilities. In addition, the system supports measurements across a multitude of sensor types. Such as voltage, current, strain, vibration, charge, resistance, temperature, digital I/O, and encoders.It also supports other sensor types in a modular, rack-mounted architecture.
Designed for both standalone and distributed testing environments. Additionally, the SIRIUS XR includes integrated networking, advanced timing synchronisation and optional onboard computing for high-speed data logging and processing.
Available as the compact XR5 and the higher-capacity XR9. The platform can be configured to suit a broad range of laboratory, industrial, automotive, aerospace, energy and research applications.
Why Choose the Dewesoft SIRIUS XR?
High-Performance Signal Conditioning
SIRIUS XR utilises Dewesoft SIRIUS X and SIRIUS XHS measurement technology to provide accurate and reliable acquisition across multiple signal types. SIRIUS X delivers alias-free acquisition with high dynamic range and accuracy. Whilst the SIRIUS XHS enables high-speed and high-bandwidth measurements for transient and dynamic events.
Scalable Rack-Based Architecture
The modular platform allows users to configure systems from compact installations through to large high-channel-count deployments. Systems can be expanded using multiple units connected in daisy-chain or star topologies while maintaining synchronised measurements.
Integrated High-Speed Networking
An integrated network switch supports PTPv2 synchronisation and enables data throughput of up to 10 Gbps. Dual 10 GbE interfaces using copper or fibre SFP connections provide flexible integration into modern test environments.
Optional Built-In Processing
SIRIUS XR can be configured with an integrated XR-SBOX computer. Therefore, allowing for advanced processing and high-speed data logging directly within the rack system.
Precise Timing and Synchronisation
The platform supports multiple synchronisation methods including:
- PTP IEEE 1588v2
- IRIG-B
- GPS
- PPS
- 10 MHz clock reference
- White Rabbit support capability
These options enable accurate time alignment across distributed measurement systems.
Integrated GNSS and RTK Support
Optional 10 Hz or 100 Hz GNSS receivers enable precise positioning for navigational testing applications. RTK support can further improve positioning accuracy to 1 cm.
OpenDAQ Compatible
SIRIUS XR supports the openDAQ open data acquisition platform. Therefore, allowing users to discover, configure and acquire data from compatible sensors, devices and instruments using their preferred programming environment.
Included DewesoftX Software
Every SIRIUS XR system includes DewesoftX data acquisition software. The software provides comprehensive acquisition, visualisation, recording and analysis functionality, with software updates included at no additional cost.
