production JTAG interface

Corelis has introduced RunnerClick and Express RunnerClick, two new production based JTAG test execution packages with a simple software interface, that allows non-technical users to perform JTAG testing on a wide range of product lines. Users are now able to run different test procedures on multiple products by simply entering product serial numbers. When combined with a compatible bar-code reader, the RunnerClick test environment makes user errors virtually impossible. RunnerClick is compatible with all test plans that currently run under the ScanPlus Runner and ScanExpress Runner test executives.

RunnerClick is used in the testing of devices, boards, and systems compliant with IEEE Std 1149.1. The tool provides direct username and serial number entry via a keyboard or bar-code reader and opens the correct test plan automatically, based on the serial number provided. The user, to assure that a full test is run each time and quality control is maintained, can modify none of the test plan settings. Log files for the entire test or each individual serial number can be saved to any local or network drive giving instant access to failure data. A cross reference table is used to specify acceptable serial numbers and additionally points to a specific test plan to open automatically when the software detects a valid serial number. This cross reference table provides a powerful capability to quickly test multiple products, each having a different set of test vectors.

Express RunnerClick offers the same functionality as RunnerClick, but also provides for concurrent testing and in-system programming, with practically unlimited scalability. For practical purposes, the Express RunnerClick is configured to support up to 1024 UUTs simultaneously.

RunnerClick and Express RunnerClick are available as an upgrade to current ScanPlus and ScanExpress Runner users. Please contact our JTAG boundary scan group on +44 1295 768800, or use the contact links, for further details.
