Suite set to redefine digital board testing

Newest version of kDiagnostics is most significant release in recent years and includes new technologies based on customer feedback.

Kozio has released the beta version of its kDiagnostics Manufacturing Suite, enhancing its line of embedded circuit board test software.

Kozio is the only vendor to provide processor-optimised functional test and debug of this type in the industry.

The beta version is currently being tested by Kozio's customers - Hewlett Packard, General Electric and others - and is an important step toward general availability scheduled for February 2008.

kDiagnostics Manufacturing Suite improves manufacturing testing productivity through a new easy-to-read "pass/fail" user interface, user friendly test sequence language, integrated database, and ready-to-use test actions such as receiving input from a barcode reader.

Combined with other products in the suite, delivered are new solutions to help customers prove-out designs early and increase test station throughput and bone-pile troubleshooting.

kDiagnostics Manufacturing Suite includes: kDiagnostics for fast and thorough testing of core memories, buses and peripherals with automatic in-circuit programming; SequenceRunner for scanning, testing and tracking; SequenceReporter to generate reports on units, stations and operators; and a command line interface for integration with existing test executives and processes.

"kDiagnostics Manufacturing Suite will redefine digital board testing in manufacturing", says Joseph Skazinski, President of Kozio.

"This version of kDiagnostics is our most significant release in recent years and includes new technologies based on customer feedback".

"It is designed to allow users to reduce per unit test time and up-front test development efforts, and still increase the ability to find and isolate assembly faults".

"After many years of research and development, we're putting our beta software to the test and soliciting technical feedback from select customers and partners".

Kozio's kDiagnostics Manufacturing Suite will expand on the benefits kDiagnostics, its flagship product first delivered four years ago, but will remain an integrated set of programs, servers and services designed to empower engineers and technicians to get better test results more quickly.

It will include new functionality across the core application, as well as help to amplify customers' ability to successfully manage the test creation, execution and recording of test results.

kDiagnostics contains hundreds of proven test suites, thousands of test calls for extending coverage, and can program Flash memory or any programmable logic device up to three times faster than current methods.

The beta release of kDiagnostics Manufacturing Suite serves as a prelude to a final release in February 2008 and is priced per station.
