Corelis Offers Integrated JTAG Solution with National Instruments

High Speed Digital I/O Platform Doubles as a JTAG Controller.

Jump to National Instruments Partner Page
Cerritos, CA, August 23, 2011 – Corelis, Inc. today announced support for National Instruments High Speed Digital I/O (HSDIO) instruments with Corelis’ ScanExpress suite of high-performance JTAG test and measurement tools. The marriage of National Instruments hardware with Corelis software provides a seamless path for deploying boundary-scan test and programming capabilities on existing PCI, PXI, and PXIe test platforms.

Boundary-scan integration support is provided for National Instruments 655x series HSDIO instruments, including the new PXIe-6556 model. In addition to functioning as a digital waveform generator/analyzer for characterizing, validating, and testing digital electronics, integration with ScanExpress tools enables these cards to connect to and control a circuit board’s JTAG Test Access Port at voltages as low as 1.2V with test clock speeds up to 30MHz. The ScanExpress software allows users to select NI 655x series cards through the native GUI interface or alternatively by using LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and TestStand with a DLL-based API interface.

“Our customers continue to gain awareness of the value offered by deploying boundary-scan technology earlier in the product design cycle—both as a means to increase efficiency and to improve the bottom line,” states Ryan Jones, Senior Technical Marketing Engineer at Corelis. “Adding National Instruments hardware product support to Corelis software aligns well with this movement; NI products are already used extensively in the design, development, and test environments. The comfort, convenience, and peace of mind in using familiar equipment help engineers reduce the learning curve when employing JTAG test.”

Corelis JET Amplifies QSC Audio Products Production Test

Corelis JTAG Embedded Test (JET) reduces test time, adds non-intrusive functional test.

 Jump to Success Story
Cerritos, CA, May 9, 2011 – Corelis, Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance JTAG test and measurement tools, announced today the successful integration and deployment of the ScanExpress JTAG Embedded Test (JET) functional test system at the production facilities of QSC Audio Products, LLC in Costa Mesa, California. QSC, a leader and pioneer in professional audio products for over four decades, implemented Corelis ScanExpress JET alongside ScanExpress boundary-scan tools to increase Flash programming rates and total test coverage during manufacturing.

QSC’s Q-Sys™ Integrated System Platform was selected as the initial target platform for ScanExpress JET deployment. Q-Sys is a complete routing, processing, and control solution for large scale applications built around the Q-Sys Core—a centralized processor responsible for managing audio processing and control functions. Rising demand for Q-Sys production led QSC to a point where test and programming times became an increasing bottleneck.

“QSC had been successfully using Corelis boundary-scan test systems in production for almost a decade now,” explains Corelis Senior Technical Marketing Engineer, Ryan Jones. “Integration with JET offered the next logical step to reduce their test time and meet their growing production requirements. It demonstrates our software’s ability to grow alongside our customers.”

Corelis applications engineers were quickly able to implement JET technology in QSC’s Q-Sys test process. QSC Digital Test Engineer, Jose Gutierrez comments, “As far as product support goes, Corelis gets a 1000%. We were quite pleased with the ease of JET integration. Corelis technical support really went out of their way to offer assistance with getting things up and running.”

Combined with QSC’s boundary-scan tests, JET added blazingly fast ISP as well as at-speed RAM tests. According to Gutierrez, “Test time per unit was reduced from 10 minutes just for programming the Flash down to around 2 minutes. This was exactly the solution we needed.”

Corelis Introduces TestGenie: High-End, Low-Cost JTAG Test Solution for All Budgets and Risk Profiles

Complete Boundary-Scan Product and Turn-Key Test Solution.

Jump to Test Genie Product Page

Cerritos, CA, November 16, 2010 – Corelis, Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance boundary-scan test and measurement tools, announced today the launch of TestGenie, a new low-cost, low-risk boundary-scan test solution targeted specifically to companies with restricted resources, limited JTAG experience, fixed schedules, and tight test budgets. TestGenie is designed to satisfy a real need for boundary-scan testing, while at the same time reducing the inherent risks involved with boundary-scan employment. This service-oriented product, based on Corelis’ ScanExpress software family, provides customers with a complete boundary-scan test procedure along with a production-ready execution station, all for one low price.

“With capital equipment budgets being harder to come by and fewer resources available for managers to assign, it is evident that the traditional model of owning boundary-scan tools outright and having a resident expert to develop test procedures is not practical for a large number of companies,” describes Ryan Jones, Senior Technical Marketing Engineer at Corelis. “But JTAG test requirements don’t go away just because of these barriers. Many companies are finding themselves sacrificing their schedules to get the test coverage they need or more frightfully sacrificing test coverage to stay on schedule. TestGenie is designed to provide these companies with an affordable boundary-scan solution without sacrificing schedule or test coverage.”

TestGenie is an ideal product for companies that:

Have a limited test budget Are uncertain if the tool costs will ever be recovered Do not have the resources to allocate to learn boundary-scan or write test procedures Have a limited number of design projects utilizing boundary-scan devices

Have limited JTAG experience Are not able to pursue boundary-scan due to tight product schedules Are overwhelmed by the technical requirements for boundary-scan Are unwilling to take the risk of failing with boundary-scan

Jones continues, “Low-cost boundary-scan tools are nothing new, but they require the user to do all the work. TestGenie completely removes that overhead. It relieves companies of the risk of test procedure development and allows them to assign a variable cost to a specific design project or contract.”

The TestGenie system includes:

• Board Specific Perpetual Licenses for:
  - ScanExpress Runner
  - ScanExpress ADO
  - ScanExpress Viewer

• USB JTAG controller

• 12 month hardware and software support contract

• Test procedure development for one Unit Under Test (UUT)

“Corelis is committed to product reliability and this singular characteristic is the cornerstone of our business model as well as that of our customers and the industry at large,” emphasizes George B. La Fever, CEO and President at Corelis. “Product reliability is achieved through testing to the maximum coverage levels practicable. TestGenie has been strategically designed to ease that practicability for those companies who have a very real JTAG testing requirement. Test procedure development is delivered on a guaranteed schedule, allowing customers to clearly scope and bound their testing challenges in terms of schedule, cost, and technical risk in a technology where quite often more is unknown than known.”
