JTAG Test Software
JTAG Technologies software has been subject to a program of continuous development for over 20 years. The first products, launched in 1991 formed the start of our 'Classic' range of software and featured the first automatic boundary-scan test program generator (ATPG) for PCB interconnects plus associated test execution and diagnostics software. In 2006 JTAG Technologies launched it's new flagship tools platform JTAG ProVision.

BSD (Test Diagnostics)
BSD Test Diagnostics software can be added to either developer or factory run-time systems to further improve the location of faults such as net bridges (short-circuits), open pins, open nets and even ''twisted'' connections that can occur within cable assemblies. BSD Test diagnostics reports faults in a verbose English language statement with pin level information included and can easily interpret multiple fault conditions.

JTAG Functional Test
JFT
JFT comprises a series of software modules that support boundary-scan test and programming activities under Python, National Instruments LabVIEW and Microsoft .NET framework. Using JFT users can create JTAG/boundary-scan test application scripts, VIs or programs for PCB assemblies and systems that control individual driver/sensor pins, groups of pins declared as variables or register bits. These applications are typically used to test logic devices or mixed signal clusters and can also be transformed into re-usable test 'modules'. Pairing JFT with JTAG CoreCommander emulative test modules gives an effective, low-cost system for performing tests through embedded device peripherals (ADCs, Memory Controllers etc..)

Development Software Suite
JTAG ProVision
The JTAG ProVision software suite is used to generate boundary-scan tests and in-system programming applications for assembled PCBs and systems. This professional development tool is fully automated and supports the import of design data from over 30 different EDA and CAM systems. Other key data inputs are JTAG device BSDL models and a large, well-maintained model library describing thousands of non-JTAG devices.

JTAG Visualizer
JTAG Visualizer is an advanced graphical viewer and data management system for PCB schematics and layouts. Visualizer integrates seamlessly with the JTAG Technologies family of boundary-scan products, such as the ProVision application development platform, and accepts PCB data from a variety of CAD, CAM and EDA tools. In design Visualizer provides DfT (design for test) feedback to the user by enabling a graphical view of fault coverage on their design. In manufacture and test Visualizer can be used to highlight faulty nets (short circuits, opens, stuck-ats etc.) in both layout and schematics views.

CoreCommander
While many ICs are equipped with a JTAG (IEEE Std. 1149.1) boundary-scan register (BSR), a significant number of microprocessors and DSPs can be found with deficient or even non-existent BSRs. CoreCommander Micro uses the on-chip debug mode of processors to access ports and embedded peripheral controllers to promote ''kernel-centric'' testing. Similarly, in the case of today's Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) test engineers can ''bridge'' from the JTAG interface to the resources of the gate array itself. Our CoreCommander FPGA product implements a translatorinterface that allows our JTAG hardware to control embedded IP cores via a variety of bus interfaces (e.g. Wishbone Avalon etc.).

Production Stand-Alone
PSA
Using PSA, test engineers can build sequences of applications in the built-in AEX (Application EXecutive) manager using if then else goto capabilities. Sequence builders can also include additional capabilities through DOS/Win command line calls, create serial number logged test reports, export tests results to a database etc.. PSA includes drivers for all JTAG Technologies controller hardware past or present.
