Tracewell Systems offers the ideal test and development platform for industrial, military, data and telecommunication real-time VME applications. T-Frame for VME64x is compatible with any VME board generation, VME32, 64, and 64-bit extension all in one chassis making it the perfect tool whether the requirement is a new VME64x development or an upgrade. Lightweight, rugged construction makes the T-Frame easy to use and move from job to job. The unique open-access platform and embedded monitoring make it right for board-, software- and system-level development, as well as production testing and debugging.

T-Frame’s patented open-frame design eliminates the need for performance robbing extender cards by providing unrestricted access to installed boards. T-Frame includes comprehensive monitoring of all backplane voltages, current and exhaust air temperature. A front panel interface displays these monitor outputs and includes temperature, fan speed, and voltage control, including +5 and +3.3 volt margining. The 64-bit 8-slot backplane includes 133 pin P0 feed-through connectors in all slots for extended I/O. Two power options include single or dual 350 watt plugging power supplies, allowing hot-swap power simulation, N+1, or 700 watt operation. Power supplies may be installed in either the front or rear card cage, further improving accessibility. Fans are adjustable for full or half-speed and automatically turn-off when not in use to reduce noise. The T-Frame’s steel and aluminum construction make it rugged yet easily portable. Tracewell’s rigid steel card cage eliminates the flex common to conventional extruded rail designs and is fully IEEE 1101.10/11 compliant. The rear I/O card cage is adjustable for a wide range of board depths. Other conveniences include a tilt base, removable side access covers, recessed carrying handles, and internal 3.5” peripheral bay.

T-Frame for CompactPCI VME64x reduces design cycles by providing the user unmatched accessibility, measurement and control for any VME development.
