DA-16X – User's Guide

Standard and Advanced Option Routing

When an X-Option card is installed, the DA-16X may be set to one of two output configurations, Standard and
Advanced Option.
When Standard routing is enabled, only one signal path is present – the selected digital input to the analog out-
puts. When Advanced Option routing is enabled, two signal paths are present – 1) ADAT or AES digital input to
X-Option card outputs; 2) X-Option card inputs to analog outputs.
