XJTAG v. 3.0 boundary scan development software is faster and more intuitive. Features run-time enhancements which boost the speed of XJEase testing and device programming in XJDeveloper and XJRunner. XJAnalyser can now be used as an integrated function in XJDeveloper as well as in its standalone form. Now uses knowledge contained in an XJDeveloper project (netlist information, constant pin settings, etc.), and XJAnalyser can open XJDeveloper and XJRunner projects, while XJDeveloper can access the full functionality of XJAnalyser. JTAG Chain Debugger now integrated into XJDeveloper.
