ASSET's ScanWorks JTAG System Named ``Best in Test'' for High-Speed Bus Testing; For Second Year in a Row, ScanWorks Recognized as a Leading Boundary Scan System.RICHARDSON, Texas -- ScanWorks, the boundary scan system from ASSET(R) InterTech Inc. (www.asset-intertech.com), was named "Best In Test" for the second year in a row by Test & Measurement World, an authoritative trade publication for the electronic test industry. ASSET is an international leader in boundary-scan (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1149.1/JTAG) test and in-system programming (ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. ). Test & Measurement World made ScanWorks for High-Speed Buses one of the 12 finalists for Test Product of 2005, naming ScanWorks the best product for "printed circuit board and system test." Last year ScanWorks earned an honorable mention Best In Test. "This is certainly a great honor and a testament to our product developers," said Alan Sguigna, vice president of sales and marketing for ASSET InterTech. "Over the years we've remained dedicated to providing the most powerful yet easy boundary-scan system. Because of this focus on JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group , ScanWorks has become a solid foundation for a number of related test and programming technologies, enhancing the value of ScanWorks to its users." ScanWorks is currently used by leading electronics companies such as Cisco, Lucent Technologies, Agilent, BAE, Hewlett-Packard, Alcatel, SBS See Small Business Server. , Ericsson, Intel, Raytheon, Solectron, Rockwell Collins, EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. and many others. ScanWorks for High-Speed Buses is the first boundary scan test platform capable of performing design validation and interconnect tests on high-speed (1 to 10 gigabits per second) buses from the same platform as traditional static JTAG tests. Central to ScanWorks for High-Speed Buses is the integration of tools for Intel(R) IBIST (Interconnect Built-In Self Test Built-in Self Test - (BIST) The technique of designing circuits with additional logic which can be used to test proper operation of the primary (functional) logic. ), that company's next-generation embedded test technology, as well as support for the new IEEE 1149.6 Standard for Advanced Digital Networks, which takes advantage of a circuit board's boundary scan infrastructure to test AC-coupled LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. signals and high-speed buses such as Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, Fibre Channel and others.
