Processor-Controlled Test (PCT)

ScanWorks® Processor-Controlled Test - ASSET InterTech, Inc.

Embedded in that CPU on your circuit board are the instruments that are critical for overcoming today's design challenges. Given the complexity of board designs and chips, you need access to this on-chip technology to diagnose, debug and test your designs. One of the tools that makes up the ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments is Processor-Controlled Test (PCT). It takes advantage of the CPU's debug port for access to the circuit board so it can perform board debug, device initialization, at-speed functional test with structural diagnostics and much more.
