Corelis ScanReuse™
Methodology
Corelis ScanReuse™
methodology and solutions allow customers to reuse in
production all the boundary-scan test and programming
files created with the ScanExpress System at different
phases of the product life cycle. This methodology works
for test equipment that customers already own or may
decide to purchase in the future.
Corelis provides its
customers with the means to reuse all the
boundary-scan test and programming files created with
the ScanExpress System with the following testers:
Corelis has partnered
with various equipment manufacturers such as Agilent,
Teradyne/Genrad, CheckSum, Takaya, Scorpion, Digitaltest, and others
to integrate the ScanExpress tools with these test
environments.
Design and test engineers
often invest considerable effort creating boundary-scan
tests for initial development and prototyping. When the
design is released to production, this effort is then
duplicated by redeveloping the same boundary-scan tests
from scratch for use on an ICT, flying probe, functional
tester or MDA.
The integration of the
Corelis ScanExpress boundary-scan tools was designed
specifically to eliminate this redundant effort and
hence unify boundary-scan test procedures across the
complete product life cycle.
Boundary-scan tests that
are created during development, and executed on
bench-top systems, can now be applied directly in these
test environments. When faults are detected by the
boundary-scan portion of the test, the output of the
ScanExpress Advanced Diagnostic is displayed from within
the integrated interface, clearly specifying the cause
of the fault down to the net and pin level.
Reusing boundary-scan
tests created by the design engineer not only
dramatically saves time and effort but also increases
the quality of the test procedure. The design engineer
often has unique insight into the details of the design
that can be transferred directly to a more complete and
robust test procedure. The test procedures passed down
from engineering are often matured and refined from
usage, making them much more valuable to the repair
technician when faults are detected.
