"Having a consistent standard is the first step to making AdvancedTCA a marketable solution for mainstream communications platforms. CP-TA is working to create a true 'industry standard' by narrowing the options for specification implementation and certifying interoperable building blocks. I see the efforts of the CP-TA as a key enabler for a new generation of communications platforms." ∼ Jim McGregor, Principal Analyst, In-Stat

Test Procedure Manual

Order the TPM

The Test Procedure Manual 1.1 (TPM) defines test procedure for requirements found in the Interoperability Compliance Document (ICD). The ICD and TPM provide the blueprints for interoperability compliance for modular communications platform building blocks. Using the TPM, vendors will be able to test their products for CP-TA compliance as a first step towards full CP-TA certification. 

This enhanced release addresses thermal, manageability and data transport interoperability domains for PICMG's AdvancedTCA specification and is aligned to the system-level profile developed by SCOPE Alliance.
