JTAG ProVision™ – Now With Added ‘Buzz’

Bedford, United Kingdom - 21st January 2010. JTAG Technologies has announced an interim update to its renowned ProVisionTM boundary-scan development tools-suite that includes the new continuity test module ‘Buzz'. Service Pack 1 for CD release 15 (CD15-SP1) is available immediately for download, from our website, for licensed users with current support contracts.
JTAG ProVisionTM, first released in 2006, uses a unique project database structure, automatically analysing the boundary-scan and non-boundary-scan elements of a design to create rapidly a full set of tests and in-system programming applications.
The new Buzz module - initially introduced as part of the JTAG LiveTM family - allows users, with minimal design information, to check quickly the continuity between two or more pins without the need to import a detailed design (netlist) information. Using an intuitive user interface, users can quickly drag and drop pins into a continuity test panel within the user interface and ‘Buzz-out' a connection - as might be traditionally done using a digital multimeter (DMM). A new ‘Watch' feature uses the JTAG SAMPLE instruction to monitor asynchronously the activity of a selected pin without disturbing the operation of the unit under test (UUT).
"JTAG ProVisionTM has dramatically changed the way users work with boundary-scan since its launch," commented James Stanbridge, UK Sales Manager of JTAG Technologies. "Adding the Buzz feature gives users a very quick method to check out up to 10 pin-to-pin connections in one hit, without the hurdles that are sometimes encountered when importing full design data."
Electronics designers and test engineers without a JTAG ProVisionTM licence can also experience the benefits of Buzz, by downloading a free-for-life version from the JTAG LiveTM website www.jtaglive.com.
