The μCT-FOX 2D/3D x-ray inspection system now offers hardware-based modular high-end volumetric isotropic rendering. Combines high-resolution 2-D x-ray technology with 3-D computed tomography techniques for inspection and analysis of complex electronic devices. Using dedicated hardware processors, the added hardware and software capability enhances defect detection, ideal for complex electromechanical component inspection applications.
 
A hardware and software based CT solution represents the next-generation of CT user interface. Has improved volumetric isotropic rendering, volumes can be produced that reveal the depth value required for a full 3-D analysis. Modular CT package can gather data sets from 2-D x-ray inspection systems and process them through a CT reconstruction engine. The resulting high-resolution CT images can be instantaneously uploaded to the internet, in real-time, using proprietary iView technology developed by TeraRecon. This feature allows F/A service labs to transmit CT imagery instantly using a secure internet connection. The software is integrated into Feinfocus GUI version 2.2, allowing users to save digital images in JPG, TIF, or BMP formats.
 
 

Version 5.0 of CXInsight for Electronics is a powerful project content management system that allows internal and external collaboration between project members across OEM and manufacturing sites. The release delivers functionality for flexible server-to-server connectivity across the electronics supply chain, based upon a peer-to-peer structure.
 
With server-to-server connectivity and appropriate authorisation, server owners can connect to other servers and work with their own fixed clients on all linked servers across different projects and through different firewalls. This allows partners to access data, track changes and perform required tasks while maintaining data integrity. A ‘two phase commit’ protocol ensures that data is intact and correct at all times, at all locations.
 
Jan Keijzer, managing director, said, “For true freedom in supply chain collaboration, server-to-server connectivity allows for multiple connections between the ‘owner’ of the data and all its external partners – in a secure and controlled environment, without compromise to rights control and management. It also allows customers to establish new collaborations with ease and flexibility, unlike in a client-server configuration. Since the launch of CXInsight, we are making good business in the OEM sector, where this added functionality is certainly required.”

JTAG chain debugger helps reduce debug and test times for engineers designing and testing complex PCBs. Features a range of debug options which allow designers to trace signals around the board and immediately find the location of any problems within the JTAG chain. Engineers can get boards up and running quickly, rapidly diagnose faults and speed up the development process.
 
“With the addition of the chain debugger to the XJTAG system, engineers now have an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution for debugging and testing boards populated with JTAG devices,” said Dominic Plunkett, CTO. “Design engineers can now debug and test their printed circuits in hours as opposed to days/weeks with other competitive systems.”
 
In addition to the chain debugger, the XJTAG Development System has other new features to speed up board design and prototype testing. The connection test now includes built-in testing of pull-up and pull-down resistors, along with more precise fault detection. Within XJAnalyser, BSDL file auto-detection has been improved and the library of reusable JTAG scripts has been expanded. It is quicker to set up non-JTAG devices following enhancements to the Devscript utility for XJEase.
 
The Development System meets the need for testing tightly-packed PCBs populated with BG) and chip scale devices, which cannot be tested by traditional methods.
 
Designed to cut the cost and shorten the development cycle of electronic products, can test JTAG or non-JTAG devices. Can test a high proportion of a circuit including BGA and chip scale devices, SDRAMs, Ethernet controllers, video interfaces, Flash memories, FPGAs, microprocessors and other devices. Enables In-System Programming of FPGAs, CPLDs  and Flash memories.
