XJTAG Improves PCB Test Coverage and Fault Diagnosis With New XJIO Expansion Board.CAMBRIDGE, England -- XJTAG (www.xjtag.com), a leading supplier of boundary scan See scan technology. boundary scan - The use of scan registers to capture state from device input and output pins. IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990 describes the international standard implementation (sometimes called JTAG after the Joint Test Action Group which began the development tools, today announced an enhancement to its award-winning XJTAG Development System. The new XJIO expansion board improves test coverage and fault diagnosis on complex printed circuits, checks power rail levels and can eliminate the need for costly custom test jigs. The XJIO board improves the test coverage for a Unit Under Test (UUT Uut, symbol for the element ununtrium. ) by verifying the signals right through to the external connections. In the event of a board failure, the fault diagnosis times can be reduced by as much as half, as the board eradicates the need for time-consuming loopbacks and cable swapping. With 208 digital and 16 analogue (8xADCs and 8xDACs) I/Os, the XJIO board provides customers developing JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group and non-JTAG boards with a cost-effective and reusable alternative to traditional test fixtures. Custom test jigs are costly and are increasingly difficult to justify given shortening product development times and the increasing frequency of board re-spins. The XJIO board can be powered from USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , for quick and portable test setup. Alternatively, if more than 80mA of current is required, there is a connector for a standard 12V power supply. All the connectors on the XJIO board are standard IDC, for economical and efficient cable assemblies. Furthermore, the switches and LEDs enable additional test control, allowing customers to develop a complete and repeatable test solution. The XJIO board extends the advantages of JTAG testing to non-JTAG boards. This facilitates a range of testing, including power rail level verification using the onboard ADCs, and provides a 'black box' solution for testing non-JTAG boards. The XJIO boards are available for GBP GBP In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the British Pound. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. 1,500 (US$2,700). Pricing for the XJTAG system ranges from GBP 3,500 (US$6,300) to GBP 9,000 (US$16,200).

History Scotland Road was created in the 1770s as a turnpike road to Preston via Walton and Burscough. , Dry Drayton Dry Drayton is a village about 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Cambridge in Cambridgeshire, England. It covers an area of 829 hectares. The village has a pub (The Black Horse), an Anglican church (SS Peter and Paul), a Methodist church, a primary school called the little owl , Cambridge CB3 8AR, UK.
