Metromatics Introduces Dewesoft SIRIUS® XR Rack- Mounted Data Acquisition Systems for High- Performance Test Applications

Metromatics is pleased to announce the availability of the new Dewesoft SIRIUS® XR rack-mounted data acquisition (DAQ) platform to customers throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Designed for demanding test and measurement applications, the SIRIUS XR combines high-channel-count data acquisition, integrated signal conditioning and flexible system scalability in a compact rack-mounted architecture. Available in XR5 and XR9 configurations, the platform supports a wide range of measurement requirements across aerospace, automotive, defence, energy, research and industrial testing environments.

The new platform supports acquisition of voltage, current, strain, vibration, IEPE, charge, resistance, temperature, digital I/O, CAN bus and encoder signals within a single integrated system. Users can configure systems using Dewesoft's SIRIUS X and SIRIUS XHS measurement modules, enabling both high-dynamic-range measurements and high-speed transient capture from a common hardware platform.

SIRIUS XR incorporates a scalable architecture with integrated networking, optional embedded computing and high-speed data logging capabilities. Built-in network switching and PTPv2 synchronisation support distributed measurement systems, while dual 10GbE connectivity provides high-throughput data transfer for large-scale testing applications.

For applications requiring precise positioning and timing, SIRIUS XR can be combined with Dewesoft GNSS and RTK solutions to provide centimetre-level positioning accuracy for vehicle, navigation and mobility testing.

The SIRIUS XR platform is suited to a broad range of applications including:

• Vehicle development and validation
• Aerospace and defence testing
• Structural and durability analysis
• Power and energy measurement
• e-Mobility development
• Research laboratory instrumentation
• Distributed test and monitoring systems

High-speed SIRIUS XHS modules support bandwidths up to 5 MHz and sampling rates up to 15 MS/s, while SIRIUS X modules provide 24-bit resolution with patented DualCoreADC® technology and alias-free acquisition for precision measurements. Together, these technologies enable accurate capture of both dynamic and low-level signals within a single test environment.

Every SIRIUS XR system includes DewesoftX data acquisition software, providing measurement, recording, visualisation and analysis capabilities without annual software licence fees. The platform also supports the openDAQ ecosystem, enabling integration with compatible sensors, devices and software environments.

The SIRIUS XR platform represents Dewesoft's latest generation of rack-mounted measurement systems, combining scalability, synchronisation and advanced signal conditioning within a single modular architecture.

Metromatics supplies Dewesoft data acquisition and test measurement solutions throughout Australia and New Zealand, providing local engineering support and application expertise for research, industrial and defence projects.
