  2. What is the Power of Frames? • The “power” of the Frames capability stems from the SPICE system’s ability to construct complex reference frame transformations with no programming effort required of you - the end user • But it’s crucial that you select and load the needed kernels • The principal benefit from the Frames capability is obtained through the main SPK subsystem interfaces (SPKEZR and SPKPOS) and the Frames subsystem interfaces (SXFORM and PXFORM) • The remaining pages illustrate typical use of frames • Several VERY IMPORTANT usage issues are mentioned in the core Frames tutorial; be sure to also read that. In SPICE terminology: “reference frame” = “coordinate system” Using Frames
