Overlaying Plots in Dewesoft

I have really been playing around with the Dewesoft hardware in hopes of converting from NI's Signal Express. One of the most useful utilities of Signal Express was being able to overlay graphs starting from their relative zeros by dragging a previous run onto the graph. Is there a similar feature in Dewesoft that I have not found yet or perhaps intentions to add something like this in the future? If not, does anyone have a graphing software that would work for this application with relative ease?

Ex Signal Express "power-user" here, converted to Dsoft. I'm trying to visualize what you're doing in SigEx and can't quite understand it.


Is this realtime data logging or analyze?

can you post a screenshot of your SigEx window with the graphs layed out like you're trying to do?


I'm assuming you're using the Signal Express proper, and not the new Flex Logger replacement, correct?

Dear James,


thank you for reaching out to us. To get the data from a previous run you can import data from a previously recorded data file. It would be nice if you could provide more information or an image of the graphs in Signal Express of what are you trying to achieve.

Kind regards.

I actually tried this and released by default the import tab is hidden and there are numerous forum posts and support topics stating that dewesoft can’t do this. Great to see that it can. The requirement to manually move data before import makes it not particularly useful since you likely hav no idea what to shift them by. Most plotting utils have the ability to shift the channels after import either by a visual method or using a trigger function.
