I'm configuring a modal test and have accelerometers that have their positive direction aligned with the negative direction of the axes in the software. However, there's no option for a negative sign in the response channels menu (see attached screenshot). It only shows the option for positive sign, which seems like a software bug. Is there a way around this, other than making a negative math channel for each accel I need a negative sign for?

Dear Nathan,


I reported the issue as a bug. When it will be fixed, we will let you know in which version.


For the moment there is a workaround that can be used to get the minus sign for response channels.


This can be achieved with the Autofill option.

@Dear Jernej Sirk, I'm still experiencing the same issue with missing minus sign with release X3 SP9. Has this bug also been solved with the latest release SP12?

Thanks

@Willem Peters They have this fixed in Dewesoft X v2021.5, which is the current release. Unless there's a reason for you to keep using the older Dewesoft X3, you can just upgrade to the current version and it will allow you to select negative directions for the accels.
