Chapter 3 Unpacking and Post Delivery Inspection identifies the components you have purchased. It also references an "as-shipped" section. This is important as it lists exactly which version of Orion you have purchased and lists certain settings and defaults which may vary between models and serial numbers. Chapter 4 User Guide covers the preparation of Orion for use in field experiments and includes connecting the instrument to sensors. Chapter 5 Orion Tutorial leads you through a number of sample sessions operating the Orion. The initial sessions get you to operate Orion with no sensor. Successive sessions introduce more features until you are familiar with all the power of Orion. Chapter 6 The Orion Reference Manual presents the full capability of all the menus in Orion and also includes the reference manuals for the supporting programs. Chapter 7 Servicing describes how to troubleshoot Orion to the board level. Appendices These list mostly tabular material such as error messages, and pin connections.
