Channel Expansion
As shown previously, expanding your D310 to contain a large number of slow (non-dynamic) analog inputs
is easy via the addition of external EPAD2 series modules. But what about expanding the number of fast (dy-
namic) channels? Of course this is possible, and this section will show the various methods that are avail-
able to achieve more fast analog channels.
Using Analog Cables to External Signal Conditioning
In this approach, the ORION series A/D cards are installed within the D310 mainframe, and the signal
conditioners to support them are connected externally. Since the D310 has three PCI slots, and there are
32-channel ORION cards available, the maximum channel count of this approach is 96.
