Minimum processor requirements for XJTAG
We recently had to support a customer who was unable to run XJTAG 3.1 on an older PC. It turned out that the processor in the PC in question did not support SSE2 instructions. During the development of v3.1 we upgraded the compiler we use to build XJTAG and it now uses these instructions to speed up execution. SSE2 instructions were introduced with the Pentium 4 in 2001 and were supported in AMD processors with their Opteron and Athlon 64 processors from 2003 onwards.
Improving Connection test errors around terminated nets
When helping our customers to understand errors that Connection Test has discovered, we sometimes realise that XJTAG has the information the customer needs, if we were only to display a little more output. […]
Differential Terminations in XJTAG
This post is to try to clarify what XJTAG understands by the term “differential termination”. […]
Driving differential pins in XJEase
A few people have asked us how to deal with differential pins when writing XJEase tests. They see them change value on an oscilloscope during the Connection Test, but aren’t sure how to deal with them explicitly in .xje files. […]
“LabVIEW can’t find XJRunnerIntegration.dll” – Integration Examples
A new XJRunner Integration .NET API was released in XJTAG 2.6. This came with a new set of LabVIEW examples detailing how the API could be used within the LabVIEW environment. These examples have been added to since that release. […]
Fault Dictionary
One of the new features in the recent v3.1 software release is a Fault Dictionary. This release cycle, one of our main goals was to make XJTAG more production friendly, and the fault dictionary provides a way of sharing relevant knowledge about a board between development and production engineers.
