Signal conditioning
The D310 can be equipped with either:
8 x DAQ / PAD / HSI series plug-in signal conditioners, or
2 x 8-channel MDAQ-SUB conditioners (16 channels total)
It is not possible to install both DAQ/PAD/HSI slots and MDAQ conditioners into the body of the D310. How-
ever, mixed systems can be created by connecting external conditioners of any kind to the system. There-
fore it is common that the D310 is congured with 8 internal DAQ modules, plus connected to 16 ot more
external MDAQ conditioners. Or the other way around, with 16 built-in MDAQ conditioners, and 16 or more
DAQ/PAD/HSI modules connected externally. There are many possibilities.
A/D card(s)
The D310 has three half length PCI slots inside. As a standard, the ORION-1616-100 A/D card is installed
when you buy the D310 data acquisition system. This card provides the following basic specications (fur-
ther details are shown in the specication tables in the next pages):
16 simultaneously sampled analog input channels
16-bit resolution, separate ADC per channels
100 kS/s/ch maximum sample rate
2 synchronous counter/encoder inputs
8 each digital input and output lines
At the time of ordering, this card can be upgraded, using any of the options available for increasing the
channel count, the bit resolution to 22 or 24-bit, or increasing the sample rate up to 1 MS/s/ch, and many
combinations of the preceding. See the UP-ORION options for all of the possibilities.
