ScanExpress Runner Gang
Test Program Execution for High-Volume Production Systems
ScanExpress Runner Gang is a high-throughput and high-volume
solution for boundary-scan production test applications. The
software enables concurrent boundary-scan testing and In-System
Programming (ISP) of CPLDs and Flash devices on multiple boards
using a single PC. The most common production
test stations provide capability to test 4, 8, and 32 boards in
parallel.
The ScanExpress Runner Gang boundary-scan run-time environment
provides the capability to execute boundary-scan tests and
perform ISP in a pre-planned, specific order called a test plan.
Test vectors, generated using ScanExpress TPG, are executed and
the test results can be displayed on-screen and logged to a
file. Infrastructure, interconnect, resistor and memory tests
are executed using a Corelis proprietary Compact Vector Format (CVF)
file. This file format maximizes test coverage while minimizing
the file size. Other formats such as SVF, JAM, and STAPL are
also supported for in-system programming. Any number of different test steps can be
combined into a test plan. Test steps within a test plan may be
added, removed, reordered, enabled, or disabled. These test
steps can be executed sequentially, repeated any number of
times, or run continuously. Each test step is simultaneously
executed on each connected UUT offering true concurrent testing.
The primary features of the ScanExpress Runner Gang test
executive include:
-
Concurrent boundary-scan testing and ISP of CPLDs and Flash devices for up to
32 boards
-
Concurrent hardware comparison of expected patterns against observed results for each UUT
-
Pre-power up test for shorts between power and ground lines on each UUT
-
Pass/Fail test sequence execution and failure reporting
-
Test sequence debugging by forcing selected test steps to skip, stop on failure, or continue
-
Detailed and summary test results and reports to a file
-
Prints test results
-
Allows data entry for operator name, UUT name, model number, serial number, etc.
-
Flow control for changing the flow of test execution dynamically based on previous test results
-
Support for Extensible Test Format (ETF) allowing control of external test equipment such as relay controllers and digital multi-meters
-
Bar code reader support
-
Automatic serial number entry
-
Support for execution from third party test applications and executives
-
Support with any
Corelis boundary-scan controller
The main ScanExpress Runner Gang window provides a top-level
view of each UUT and the overall test results for each board.
Users can maneuver further to see each UUT test step, the
results of each test step, and ultimately the identification of
failures using the detailed truth table diagnostics. An optional
add-on module called ScanExpress Advanced Diagnostics Option
(ADO) is available with ScanExpress Runner Gang that offers
automatic truth table analysis and pin-points failures to the
net and pin level. ScanExpress ADO is useful for test operators
that have little or no technical background.
