ScanWorks®
JTAG Test Development Station Bundle 
The ScanWorks
JTAG Test Development Station Bundle is one of the four bundled
configurations of the ScanWorks boundary-scan
(JTAG) test and on-board programming environment. The Test Development
Station features boundary scan technology software modules from
the ScanWorks environment which help users of JTAG
technology get started quickly. Some of these test capabilities
are also included in the ScanWorks Diagnostics & Repair Station
and the ScanWorks Programming Station.
Several of the major benefits of boundary scan and the ScanWorks
JTAG Test Development Station are:
- Easy importing of CAE/CAD design data and boundary scan description
language (BSDL) data which is used to automatically generate
interconnect tests, scan path verification tests and graphical
views
- Compile a description of the JTAG / boundary scan technology
thru BSDLs of the design and use this database description for
test generation and diagnostics
- Organize and manage tests, design data and programming data
for greater JTAG testability
As the name implies, the ScanWorks
Test Development Station has features like the Design Manager,
which accelerates the automatic generation of JTAG tests and manages
the flow of the design and device data that is needed to compile
boundary scan tests. These tests can be applied to both boundary-scan
and non-boundary-scan devices on the board. The Test Development
Station is also used to test and diagnose prototype boards during
design. Its diagnostics capabilities can extend down to the net
and pin level.
ScanWorks compiles tests and programming
processes into what it calls an action. Actions include all of
the data and instructions needed to run a test and diagnose the
results. Actions can be organized into sequences. Actions and
sequences are often associated with a design and exported to manufacturing
when the product is ready for assembly.
The ScanWorks Test Development Station
can be equipped with a design browser interface, providing the
system with a web-based and easy-to-use collaboration and communications
tool. The design browser can also be used to pinpoint faults in
a layout view and to share CAE or CAD information with co-workers
who may not have access to the CAE/CAD systems.
