About this manual

This manual is a comprehensive reference guide for how the ION architecture is implemented on ION devices.

The first section of this manual provides background information on ION architecture and its modular structure.

The subsequent sections detail ION module specifications and configuration parameters, and are intended for use by personnel with a thorough understanding of ION architecture, ION devices, and the systems in which they are deployed.

NOTE: Modification of ION modules is usually not necessary. ION devices are preconfigured at the factory with a comprehensive set of default functions which are sufficient for most applications.
