JTAG Technologies will use the Embedded Systems Show on 11th and 12th October at the UK NEC, Birmingham to showcase its ground-breaking JTAG ProVision application developer tool Launched earlier this year, ProVision is ideal for new, infrequent and experienced users of boundary-scan, and enables engineers to prepare PCB testing and in-system programming applications based on the IEEE1149.x boundary-scan standards

Software measures mixed-signal voltage levels
A free JTAG-powered software tool supports the new SCANSTA476 analogue voltage monitor from National Semiconductor.
James Stanbridge, UK Sales Manager of JTAG Technologies, comments: "The Embedded Systems Show provides a great opportunity for engineers to benchmark competing solutions".
"Where boundary-scan tools are concerned it's imperative to see the tools in action to establish that they can meet your current and future requirements - and to witness first hand their ease of use".
ProVision's enhanced ease of use is derived from its all new user interface and built-in 'wizards'.
For example, the tool can automatically process CAD data plus device information of both the boundary-scan and non-boundary-scan elements of a design, to create rapidly a full set of tests and in-system programming applications - all without the need for time-consuming and error-prone coding.
Moreover, JTAG Technologies' novel approach to device modelling provides the entire information needed to control correctly nonscan device 'clusters' for optimum test overage (while maintaining manual override capability for skilled users).
ProVision's versatility also extends beyond single-board designs.
The tool can easily handle all levels of target complexity - from single boards with one or multiple test access ports (TAPs) through to complex, multi-board configurations.
Stanbridge concludes: "With unprecedented levels of automation and hitherto unseen ease-of-use, JTAG ProVision represents a significant leap in the evolution of boundary-scan test development tools".
"For a complete demonstration of the tool and to discuss your board and system test requirements, please visit us on Stand 410 at the Embedded Systems Show".
Applications developed with JTAG ProVision are fully compatible with all existing production tools from JTAG Technologies, including stand-alone boundary-scan systems as well as the industry's broadest range of ICT, flying probe and functional test system integrations.
JTAG ProVision is available immediately with competitive pricing and simple upgrade paths. Request free introductory details about products from JTAG Technologies ...
