The industry's leading boundary-scan development tool, JTAG ProVision, takes another big step forward. We are continuing to build upon the power of ProVision with several new capabilities:

Test Development in the ProVision environment is now even easier with the integration of Visualizer
Fault coverage examiner now compares theoretical to actual coverage, so you can see if you have optimized your test
Enhancements to the Truth Table Reporter aid Test Engineers and Technicians in the debug process.
Testing complex clusters of non-boundary-scan devices spanning multiple boards greatly increases fault coverage.
ProVision's ever expanding library now includes over 10,000 non-boundary-scan devices, in addition to support for ABEL and IBIS models.
And more...

This update is available now, free of charge for all customers with active maintenance agreements.

JTAG Technologies has an excellent team of FAEs skilled in all aspects of boundary-scan. Consider tapping into this knowledge base on your next design. We will provide you with a detailed analysis of your board and its suitability for boundary-scan testing and in-system programming. You will benefit by having the assurance that your design is ready to go, possibly avoiding costly re-spins for test coverage. Total cost is $3,000. If you have us develop your application for you, we will deduct $2,000 from the cost of the development. If you decide to do the development yourself, we will provide you with a known set of BSDL files, all generated device models and design files so you will have a big head start on your boundary-scan application.

JTAG Technologies gives you more integration choices than anyone else in the boundary-scan industry. That is because we believe in providing users with the greatest possible flexibility in implementing their production strategies. For example, our Symphony ICT options cover the industry's most popular systems-the Agilent 3070 (both UNIX and Windows, meaning there's no requirement to switch from UNIX!) as well as a broad line of Teradyne (and former GenRad) testers. And in addition to the Symphony series, you will find our boundary-scan solutions offered on an OEM basis by DigitalTest, SPEA, and Aeroflex.

Our flash programming library includes nearly all of the NOR and NAND devices on the market today-and we add more as they become available. In addition, we're seeing lots of interest in having the capability to program the internal flash of microcontrollers like the Power PC and the HC08 processor families from Freescale and others. In many cases, we can support these types of devices; if you have one in mind, let us know and we will examine it for feasibility.

The key, often called a dongle, that is used to associate a software license file with a PC or license server is now available as a USB device. We will still offer the parallel-port key for use with older systems.

In April, May and June of 2007 we are participating in several exhibitions and seminars;

SMT in Nuremberg, Germany
Nepcon UK in Birmingham, United Kingdom
Electronics and Automation in Utrecht, the Netherlands
And we have several other shows and seminars coming up in Canada and the US

For more information on these and other exhibitions and seminars, please check our website. Check back frequently as we update the schedules throughout the coming year.
