Tron has several meanings; did you mean:
TRON is a real-time operating system kernel. See TRON Project.
TRON is also a debugging command in the BASIC programming language. It is an abbreviation of TRace ON. It is used primarily for debugging line-numbered BASIC GOTO and GOSUB statements. When the TRON command had been executed, a window would indicate the line number being executed at that instant.
There is also a troff, or TRace OFF, command; it was used for turning the tracing off.
TRON is also a multi-byte character encoding. It is similar to Unicode but does not use Unicode's Han unification process: each character from each CJK character set is encoded separately, including archaic and historical equivalents of modern characters. This means that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text can be mixed without any ambiguity as to the exact form of the characters; however, it also means that characters with equivalent semantics may be encoded more than once, complicating some operations.
'tron is also shorthand for Mellotron.
Tron is also the name of the Brandeis University Men's Ultimate Frisbee Team.
