History
Origins
In 2000, Jure Knez of Trbovlje, Slovenia, was a mechanical engineer working primarily in the fields of rotating machinery and sound and vibration. He published several research papers on these topics, including analysis of measurement signals from vibration measurements on turbogenerators[2] and steam turbine rotordynamic behavior.[3] He was also a programmer, and frequently created his own software to solve engineering problems.[4] Together with business partner Andrej Orozen, also of Trbovlje, Knez established the company Dewesoft to provide software to the data acquisition hardware manufacturer Dewetron GesmbH, headquartered in Austria.
Knez traveled to Dewetron’s USA office in 2000 to work with Dewetron USA president Grant Maloy Smith and Dewetron application engineer Gerald Zotzeck to design the first version of the software.[5] The three worked together in the company’s Charlestown, RI headquarters, designing the user interface and performance principles of the new software.
The company released the first commercially available version of data acquisition software in 2001, naming it Dewesoft 5.0. It was sold in the United States, Europe, and Asia by Dewetron. The Chamber of Commerce of Slovenia, Trbovlje Sector, awarded Knez, Smith, and Zotzeck a prize for technical innovation for the development of Dewesoft 5.0 in 2000.
Version history
In 2002, Dewesoft 5.0, the first commercially available version of the software, was patented by patent offices in the USA and European Union. Knez and Smith, with colleague Matija Tuma, wrote an article about the evolution of PC-based data acquisition systems that was published in the May issue of Sound & Vibration Magazine.[6]
Two patents were issued to Knez by the US Patent Office covering key aspects of Dewesoft software.[4] [7]
On 26 December 2017, the company was awarded US patent 9,853,805 which covered many important aspects of DewesoftX software, including synchronization and buffered data transfer.[4]
On 16 July 2019, the company was awarded US patent 10,352,733 covering key technical aspects of the SuperCounter technology developed within DewesoftX software.[7]
December 2020 saw the release of DewesoftX 2020.

Significant Events
In 2003, with their hardware partner Dewetron, Dewesoft played a role in the replacement of obsolete paper recorders at the LCC (Launch Control Center) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Dewesoft engineers worked on-site at NASA during this development, writing interfaces so that the software could directly interface with PCM data from spacecraft and NASA's ScramNet database. This work is outlined in a report from NASA.[8]
