SwRI Southwest Research Institute 4385-806 VME Channel Board,Ultrasonic Testing?

Description

SwRI Southwest Research Institute 4385-806 VME Channel Board
For sale- an SwRI Southwest Research Institute 4385-806 VME Channel Board.
I have been able to find essentially nothing on this particular board, but I did find a description of a presumably more recent VME channel board on the
SwRI website
.
The new channel board is described there as being a “digital ultrasonic testing (UT) instrument on a printed circuit board.”
Whether that is also applicable to the VME board I am selling here I cannot say.
The newer board is further mentioned as being “specialized to meet the high-speed and thick-wall inspection requirements of nuclear reactors.”
My VME board was pulled from one of eight VME racks clustered together in a system being used by NASA.
If I had to guess I would say that ultrasonic testing would have been a likely use at this particular facility, as I have bought other NDT test equipment from them in the past.
Nuclear reactors?
Don’t think so, if they were using them for UT purposes it would have been on aircraft or spacecraft.
When I say them, I have a large quantity of these available.
I think.
They all have the same large heatsink protruding through the front plate, which is pretty unusual for VME boards in my experience.
But this is the only one I have physically pulled and inspected.
The others may be slightly different, so if you need more than one let me know and I will take a closer look.
This one sports the presumably shielded box covering the 4385-807 Receiver Module, which looks like it piggybacks on the 4385-806 motherboard.
I think I need to also note that this board is deeper than the standard VME board, the standard boards used in the same rack all have a 60mm extender board on the back.
