Having lots of information is great, but sometimes the most difficult thing is displaying that data in a meaningful way. We have created two new information overlays for Layout Viewer, allowing you to visualise test coverage statistics or live pin data from Analyser on your board layout. […]
‘Dynamic Chains’ is a term we’ve coined to describe a test system that has the ability to drive more that 1 JTAG chain configuration. This may be possible if it has multiple chains driven by different TMS or TCK pins, or a single chain that has multiple JTAG device variations (for example using a Scan Bridge). Before v3.3, XJTAG projects could only represent a single static JTAG chain. With our new functionality, multiple JTAG chain variations can be defined, set up and run within a single XJTAG project in a single test run. […]
XJTAG is a great system for board designers and manufacturers, but people looking to repair boards often do not have netlists for those boards – something that until now has been essential to start an XJDeveloper project. […]
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.2 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
In Version 3.0.2 and later an additional Settings tab has been added to the XJRunner Setup screen in XJDeveloper. This tab, labelled “Functions”, […]
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.1 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
We are always listening to customers about where they feel the tools could be improved. For XJTAG 2.7 we took this feedback on board and improved the user interface of the code editors in XJDeveloper. These are on the Test Device Files screen and the Circuit Code Files screen. […]
From version 2.7 onwards XJTAG includes an integrated Schematic Viewer in XJDeveloper and XJRunner. If you have your boards’ schematics in PDF format you can take advantage of this new feature. […]
To help get your tests up and running more quickly and easily, version 2.7 of XJDeveloper has a new feature which can make suggestions for the JTAG chains in your project. […]
If your project uses an ODB++ netlist, then you can take advantage of the Layout Viewer in both XJDeveloper and XJRunner. Layout Viewer uses the layout information in the netlist to allow you to visualise the physical location of components, pins and nets on a board. This is especially useful for visualising errors from the connection test to guide you towards the most likely location of a fault on a board. […]
