Our Boundary-Scan Diagnostics (BSD) software has
been enhanced to be fully compatible with both
Classic and
JTAG ProVision development tools. When used in
combination with JTAG ProVision, the software also
extends diagnostics support for multi-board
designs and non-boundary-scan pins.
Users with valid software maintenance contracts can access the new BSD software by exchanging their current software license file for a new one. Contact your JTAG Technologies sales representative or send an email to support@jtag.com for further details. For those users with lapsed maintenance
contracts, consider the benefits of purchasing
software maintenance for your existing product
licenses. In addition to getting access to this
enhanced version of BSD software, other benefits
include free software updates, continuing
technical support, and online access to the
ever-growing portfolio of product information and
aids located in the customer service area of our
website. Contact your JTAG Technologies sales
representative today to sign up for all of the
benefits of our maintenance program. |

| New Custom Function Module JT2147 Simplifies Tester Integration | |||
To strengthen and streamline integration with
Teradyne TestStationT in-circuit testers, we now
offer a new Custom Function Module (CFM), the JT
2147, which augments our best-in-class Symphony
product line. Symphony 228x lets you perform
genuine JTAG Technologies boundary-scan tests in
combination with Teradyne's GR228x, TS12x, and
Spectrum 8800 test systems. Symphony 228xPLUS adds
high-speed, in-system flash programming support.
With the availability of the JT 2147 CFM, existing
TestStation and previous generation 228x systems
can be easily upgraded with a JTAG Technologies
boundary-scan controller to handle the most
demanding test and in-system programming demands.
For more information review the
JT 2147 product brochure, or contact your JTAG
Technologies representative. |
