Boundary Scan

Boundary Scan (sometimes referred to as JTAG) is a test technique that is applied to devices equipped with a special Test Access Port (TAP) and additional circuitry. Conforming to the IEEE 1149.1 standard, these devices can be tested both internally and externally using serial data conforming to the standard.

In addition to a standard basic Boundary Scan capability to test the continuity between the internal logic and the external network on the circuit board, a fully 1149.1 compliant Boundary Scan solution can be integrated into our equipment system. Diagnosys is a Technology Partner with XJTAG, and through this relationship can provide an industry leading solution for testing devices and boards fitted with Boundary Scan devices.

XJTAG provides advanced graphical software:
