OWNER’S GUIDE  ORION A/D CARDS | 17417
There are several A/D cards which may be installed into your Dewetron system, depending on how it was
ordered from the factory. In the models covered by this manual, the ORION-1616-100 is installed as a
standard. However, as mentioned, your card might have been upgraded in terms of its options (the last digit
might be changed), or upgraded to a completely different card, with a different model name.
The ORION series are simultaneous sampling, high-end performance, including synchronous counter/en-
coder inputs on board, and offering options such as CAN BUS interfaces, isolated counters and digital input
lines, and more. ORION series cards represent the state of the art within the Dewetron family. They were
designed from the ground up to allow 100% synchronization, not just within one system but across multiple
systems, whether they are physically connected, or separated by thousands of miles.
This section will present the basic specications for all commonly installed ORION series A/D cards. Ad-
ditional information is available in Dewetron manuals specic to these cards, available as separate docu-
ments.
