April 2008; FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GÖPEL electronic's ScanAssist awarded "2008 Best in Test" by Test & Measurement World For the third time in a row GOEPEL electronic won the “Best in Test Award” sponsored by the international magazine and website Test & Measurement World. GOEPEL electronic applied for the award with its software tool “Scan Assist™” and was rewarded for another outstanding JTAG/Boundary Scan innovation. This is a special honour, because numerous companies and their products apply for this award each year, thus the “Best in Test Awards” are highly rated. “We are very proud to have repeatedly won the Best in Test Award for our revolutionary JTAG/Boundary Scan solutions”,says Thomas Wenzel, Managing Director of GOEPEL electronic’s Boundary Scan division. “It is our goal to continuously develop technologically leading platform solutions in hardware as well as software. To be awarded again is also an approval, in our opinion, for the continued quality level we strive to maintain.” Scan Assist™ enables the real-time activation and analysis of individually defined logic states directly in the target hardware (Pin/Net Toggler) without prior test program generation. It features unrivalled intelligence, and automatically identifies potentially unsafe or hardware harming vectors as well as logic states of non-Boundary Scan nets and pins (cluster logic) The new ScanAssist™ Interactive Pin Toggler complements the existing ScanAssist™ Multi Mode Debugger building a complete debug tool suite. The tool uses the central data base of the development environment SYSTEM CASCON™, and in active state initialises all Boundary Scan structures and administrates the test vectors. That means, the user doesn’t need any knowledge about specific TAP control sequences and operation modes, and can concentrate on verification tasks. Logic levels can be provided in object browsers and ASCII files as well as in schematic and Layout Visualizer. The ScanAssist™ interactive pin toggler can reach an especially high performance in combination with the innovative SCAN VISISON™ III Visualizers, which can be completely integrated. Besides standard functions they enable a net and pin oriented colour presentation of logic states and fault states. The Virtual Schematic principle enables the synthetic combination of native schematic sectors, and therefore, improves the debug process efficiency.
