XJTAG Professional is for debugging and testing PCBs with high pin count BGA devices. The interconnect test is said to exercise 5,000 nets in less than a second because of improvements to algorithms. It can also identify a higher proportion of faults and accurately report their locations. XJEase has added language features added to make the whole test script writing process more intuitive. Test code is now separated from configuration files. A COM Interface has been added to integrate with test executives such as LabVIEW, Visual Basic and other Windows-based custom applications.

The TestStation ICT now has UltraPin II 121 and 121a pin boards, options that include multiplexed or pure pin, analog-only or hybrid, and low pin-count or high pin-count. Offer non-multiplexed operation with unrestricted pin assignments for both analog and digital test applications and flexibility for programming driver/sensor logic levels, sense thresholds, slew rates and backdrive limits. Come with 15 mV drive and sense accuracy, 2.3 mV programming resolution, low driver impedance and ability to monitor and program backdrive currents. The 121 version has 128 real digital/analog pins per board and supports a maximum of 2,048 high-performance pins when configured in a TestStation LH, or 3,840 when installed in TestStation LX. The 121a version has 128 analog pins. Pricing starts at less than $100,000.

Debug Pro debugging software for TestStation in-circuit testers is said to feature intuitive graphical user interface, comprehensive tools, simplified command menus, and operational displays for debugging and qualifying ICT programs. Features include a label navigator that graphically displays each of the program’s tests; a statement editor that displays specified parameters available in user-selected tests and permits parameter selection and modification using a mouse or keystrokes; a guard editor that displays test instrument connections and in-circuit interconnections; a charting tool that displays measurement results using run or histogram charts and reports test statistics; component and property information windows that display information about board components, nets and other tester resources, and a customizable toolbar providing access to debug tools.
