ORION Series A/D cards


top
All ORION series cards are SIMULTANEOUS SAMPLING - no multiplexing! Cards are available with 16, 22, and 24-bit resolution. The 22 and 24-bit cards have sigma-delta ADCs, which are ideal for dynamic measurements such as noise and vibration, due to their powerful anti-aliasing filters on board, dynamic range, and tremendous vertical axis resolution.

16-bit ORION A/D cards


ORION 16-bit cards employ successive approximation ADCs, and are ideally suited for a wide range of applications in electrical testing, power testing, and much more. All ORION cards feature at least 2 synchronous counter/encoder inputs and 8 digital I/O lines, and more are optionally available -- including higher voltage input levels and programmable detection levels up to 40V. In addition, two synchronous CAN BUS interfaces can be installed on any ORION card.

ORION-1616-100 series
Our most popular ORION card is the 1616-100. It provides a top notch Dewetron performance at a great price, with all the features that you need. The model number pattern of the last digits is the same for most ORION cards which have six varieties:

  • -100 The first card has 8 digital I/O lines, and 2 counter/encoder inputs (which can alternatively be used as 8 TTL digital inputs)
  • -101 Same as -100 version except adds 2 synchronous high speed CAN BUS interfaces
  • -102 Same as -100 except that the counter/encoders are increased from 2 to 10, or alternatively up to 40 TTL digital inputs
  • -103 Same as -102 except adds 2 synchronous high speed CAN BUS interfaces
  • -104 Same as -100 except that 8 TTL inputs are added with 25V input protection, and either 8 more counter/encoders, or 24 more digital input lines with programmable threshold levels (0..40 V), input voltage range -35 to 60 V, AC/DC coupling
  • -105 Same as -104 except adds 2 synchronous high speed CAN BUS interfaces

22-bit ORION A/D cards


ORION 22-bit cards employ sigma-delta ADCs, and are intended for applications in noise and vibration, or wherever extremely high resolution on the amplitude axis is required. The same range of options that are available for the 16-bit series, are available in the 22-bit series, including higher voltage levels for the digital inputs, more digital inputs and counters, and CAN bus interfaces. 22-bit cards feature ADVANCED counters - so each one can handle a full quadrature encoder!

ORION-1624_400
ORION-1622-100 series
Our most popular ORION 22-bit card is the 1622-100. It provides a top notch Dewetron DYNAMIC performance at a great price, with all the features that you need. The model number pattern of the last digits is the same for most ORION cards which have six varieties:
