Press Release Summary:
SCANFLEX® I/O module SFX-9305 supports use of 9305-BAC/Bluetooth Bus Access Cable (BAC), which enables test of Bluetooth® interfaces in addition to nominal JTAG/Boundary Scan operations. BAC interface is recognized and configured automatically, while BAC type/number to be used are defined by user. Interface functions contain stepwise handling of protocol layers, including bi-directional data transfer. This lets users completely control interface target and clearly identify faults.
Original Press Release:
JTAG/Boundary Scan Platform SCANFLEX® Supports Tests of Bluetooth® Interfaces
Munich, Jena/Germany - at the electronica trade show, GOEPEL electronic introduces another innovative Bus Access Cable (BAC) named 9305-BAC/Bluetooth as new member of the revolutionary Boundary Scan hardware platform SCANFLEX®.
In connection with the SCANFLEX® I/O module SFX-9305, new family member of Bus Access Cables enables the test of Bluetooth® interfaces, combined with additional JTAG/Boundary Scan operations based on a unique platform, for the first time.
"Wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth mean limitations for many customers in the areas of consumer, automotive or telecommunications, in particular during production test. Our innovative hardware solutions efficiently overcome these limitations", says Thomas Wenzel, co-founder of GOPEL electronic and Managing Director of its Boundary Scan Division. "This further strengthens our reputation for the increased utilisation of structural JTAG / Boundary Scan as a technology for the entire product life cycle."
9305-BAC/Bluetooth is the third member of the product series following the release of Bus Access Cables (BAC) for USB2.0 (Host) and LAN, and can be plugged into each free port of the SFX-9305 SCANFLEX® I/O module. The interface is recognised and configured automatically, whereby BAC type and number to be used can then be freely defined by the user. Available interface functions contain the stepwise handling of protocol layers incl. bi-directional data transfer. Consequently, users are able to completely control the interface target without additional driver software, and clearly identify faults.
In connection with the SFX-9305 module, 9305-BAC/Bluetooth can be freely combined with all SCANFLEX® controllers on PCI, PCI Express, Cabled PCI Express, PXI, PXI Express, FireWire, USB or LAN basis. It is fully supported in the industry leading Boundary Scan Software SYSTEM CASCON(TM) from version 4.4.2 on. Module configuration and handling of test program data are based on user-friendly CASLAN instructions. CASLAN is an extremely powerful Boundary Scan programming language with several hundred commands supporting IEEE1149.1, IEEE1149.4, IEEE1149.6, IEEE1532, and JESD71 as well as mixed signal operations and VarioTAP® for emulation test.
