| NASHUA,
NH May 09, 2003 – In another indication that boundary
scan testing has finally entered the mainstream of printed
circuit manufacturing and testing strategies, Flynn Systems
has appointed Teleinstrument Kontest AB
(www.kontest.se), of Sollentuna, Sweden, to represent
onTAP pc-based boundary scan test software and hardware
products in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.
In
July 2002, onTAP became the first comprehensive JTAG test
software to break under the long-anticipated $1000 price
barrier.
“These
days, all companies are paying close attention to the
economics of test,” says Jurgen Sedlacek,
Kontest’s Managing Director. “onTAP
software stands out as one of the all-time remarkable
test values. It reduces the cost of implementing boundary
scan test by an entire order of magnitude over competing
solutions.”
onTap
user Ulf Ranggård, of Optronic in Skellefteå,
Sweden agrees. “We could not fit an expensive production
tester into our budget and we hesitated integrating boundary
scan into functional test-stations, as we anticipated
heavy development and debug. We were surprised to be running
in just a few days using onTAP software for our JTAG testing.“
“We
are thrilled that Kontest is representing onTAP,” says
Matt Van Wagner, Flynn Systems’ Director
of Marketing and Sales. “They are a long-standing,
highly-respected Swedish test technology firm widely regarded
for customer support. They bring a wealth of practical JTAG
test expertise to all Scandinavian customers.”
onTAP
generates high-fault coverage board and system-level JTAG
tests.
Key
features include: wide
range of IEEE 1149.1 test options (interconnect, shorts,
opens, TAP, IDCODE, Register Length, & more), ATPG
with pin-level diagnostics, cluster testing for non-jtag
FLASH and memory devices, DFT reporting, BSDL verification,
JTAG test simulation, automatic handling of multiple scan
chains, interactive ‘pin-toggle’ mode, test
scripting, Labview interface, and a straightforward GUI
that guides new users through test development process.
Runs under Windows NT/2000/XP. Tests are applied through
inexpensive JTAG programming cables from Xilinx, Lattice,
Altera and Insight Electronics.
30-day
evaluation copies of onTAP are available at www.flynn.com.
