VME-based Systems for Data Acquisition,
PCM Telemetry & Avionics
 Product Overview
VMEwindow-based systems allow the user to implement high-performance real-time data systems with a graphical "point and click" interface. VMEwindow systems are available as turnkey binary solutions or with full VMEwindow source code for customer-specific modifications and enhancements. Applications include PCM Telemetry, Avionics Test, and Data Acquisition.
VMEwindow offers the optimal combination of standard off-the-shelf VME-based hardware and software for VME-based analog & digital data acquisition, PCM Telemetry, and Avionics Test applications. A key differentiator for VMEwindow is the ability to cost-effectively tailor the system to handle almost any custom interface requirement.
An Icon-based interface on a standard host workstation defines data flow and display, while a VME-based real-time system utilizes the industry-leading VxWorks operating system to ensure deterministic performance.

 VMEwindow for IRIG-106 PCM Telemetry
PCM Telemetry systems applications require standard features for easy frame setup, real-time EUC processing and data archival, and open interfaces for data distribution and post-processing tasks. The AP Labs VMEwindow Telemetry System (VTS) delivers that and more.
Standard IRIG-106 functions are supported and - when program requirements include the need for custom or unusual interfaces, the standards-based VTS can accommodate almost any I/O requirement. With the availability of source-code and industry-standard development tools, inclusion of custom hardware or software features can be contracted to AP Labs or performed by the customer’s engineering organization.

 VMEwindow for MIL-STD-1553
Monitoring and test of complex avionics MIL-STD-1553 based busses requires flexible real-time monitoring capabilities. The AP Labs VMEwindow system with MIL-STD 1553 support provides a reliable frame work for lab testing of such busses. GUI support includes Bus Monitor (BM), Bus Controller (BC), and Remote Terminal (RT) support. Download datasheet - MIL-STD-1553 Avionics Test with VMEwindow

Example Applications
RANGE TRAINING:
The VTDS (Video Telemetry Data System) is the data link between “test players” (instrumented vehicles, personnel, and weapons systems) in a range training environment. The system acquires, records, distributes, and displays multi-source real-time data. Download datasheet - Video & Telemetry Data System 
SPACE VEHICLE LAUNCH CHECKOUT:
The Space Shuttle RPS (“Record and Playback Subsystem”) utilizes VMEwindow for the pre-launch check-out of the Space Shuttle data acquired via telemetry links from the vehicle. Up to 55 real-time VME-based systems are controlled and monitored during the ground test and launch phase processing. Download datasheet - VMEwindow Software Records & Monitors Shuttle Telemetry. 
AVIONICS BUS TEST:
Aircraft development requires extensive testing of avionics bus interfaces (MIL-STD 1553) to validate hardware and software. The VMEwindow-based system shown includes real-time full Bus Monitoring on 10 channels of 1553, plus synchronized analog data acquisition and replicated memory networked data distribution.
