Version 4.2.1 of the boundary scan environment System Cascon includes integrated support for the hardware platform Scanflex, as well as new ways of handling test vectors.

In addition to the Scanflex interface, numerous software features have been implemented, including support of eight independent, parallel TAPs and a hardware configuration tool with AutoDetect functionality to automatically recognize and manage all connected hardware – SFX-Controller, SFX-Transceiver and TAP Interface Cards (TIC), and SFX I/O Modules. Supports other Scanflex features, such as the controller architecture Space II, the Fastscale principle for controller upgrades on-the-fly, the improved ADYCS II for compensation of signal propagation delay independently for each TAP, and Hyscan technology for separated but synchronized handling of parallel and serial vectors.

The project database can handle level groups for nets and pins. Level group assignments allow external I/O channels to be set up automatically with appropriate parameters to match the voltage family of pins on the UUT they are connected to.

Improvements include new commands for the integrated boundary scan programming language Caslan, capability to import IBIS models into the graphical Device Library and new functions in the Component Explorer for intelligent UUT CAD data management.

Backwards compatible to earlier versions, supports VXI, PXI, PCI, USB, GPIB, Parallel Port, RS232, and Fast Ethernet boundary scan controllers.
