VM-DBA VME Display and Bus Analyzer Module
The VM-DBA is a compact and versatile diagnostic module for VME-bus systems. It enables real-time visualization and waveform analysis of all bus lines, providing engineers with a powerful tool for debugging and monitoring.
- Form Factor: 6U VME, 1 slot
- Interfaces: VME and USB
- Sampling Rate: Up to 100 MHz (10 ns steps) / 200 MHz (5 ns steps)
- Memory Depth: 2 kBit (2000 samples)
- Power Consumption: 1.4 A typ.
Product Information
The VM-DBA is a high-performance test and diagnostic module designed to visualize, analyze, and record activities across all VME-bus lines. It supports 32 data and 32 address lines, as well as all key bus and control signals such as IRQ1–7, IACK/IACKIN, BG/BR1–3, Bus Clear, Bus Busy, VD, CLK, RES, SYSF, ACF, AS, DS1/DS0, LWORD, DTACK, and BERR.
With programmable trigger conditions, dual VME and USB interfaces, and an external trigger input via front-panel LEMO connector, it provides maximum flexibility for system analysis.
Waveforms can be captured at up to 100 MHz and stored in two FPGA-programmable 2 kBit memories, accessible via an intuitive Windows-based GUI for graphical visualization and detailed evaluation.
Fully compliant with ANSI/IEEE 1014, IEC 821, and IEC 297 standards, the module supports various VME slave modes (D08(OE), D16, D32, A16, A24, A32) and Interrupt Handler 1H (1–7).
Thanks to low-power CMOS technology, the VM-DBA ensures efficient performance and minimal power consumption, making it an ideal diagnostic and monitoring solution for VME-based systems.
