Intelligent Data Base – to manage non-Boundary Scan structures

An intelligent, hierarchical data base built into SYSTEM CASCON™ references all information available for BScan structures, pins, nets, and standard non-Boundary Scan components (R, C, Jumper, Buffer, RAM, Flash, logic gates, …). Non-Boundary Scan structures are automatically involved in the project development, reducing effort for the user, supporting safe test vectors and improving fault coverage for the complete Unit Under Test (UUT).

Intelligent Programming Language – for unlimited flexibility

Based on SYSTEM CASCON’s intelligent data base, CASLAN represents a powerful, high-level JTAG/Boundary Scan programming language, allowing advanced debugging of test applications. CASLAN includes 150 commands and handles all BScan control sequences automatically. The language supports mixed-signal operations and can even implement Third Party DLLs. This flexibility and openness provide nearly unlimited possibilities to build Extended JTAG/Boundary Scan applications.

Intelligent Tools – for excellent fault coverage with the push of a button

With more than 30 integrated tools SYSTEM CASCON™ provides a very extensive tool suite. Every tool is based on the intelligent data flow models and features intelligent algorithms for data analysis and program generation. The ATPG tools generate CASLAN source code with a test coverage approaching 100% with automatic Ground Bounce prevention. For the user this translates to highest productivity.

Intelligent Protection – for highest performance with safe vectors

The intelligent protection concept hierarchically implements Safe Values and Compliance Vectors in the speed optimised object code, while automatically recognising constraints for conflict free control of all UUT resources. Manually generated test vectors and test bus integrity are verified dynamically at all times. These principles ensure maximum safety of scan operations and protect the UUT against damage due to incorrect or undefined test pattern.

Intelligent Fault Diagnostic – for precise and systematic fault localisation

The intelligent data base combined with the intelligent tools typically provides the advantage of comprehensive fault coverage and pin level diagnostic with only few test vectors. Furthermore, the CASLAN language supports adaptive fault diagnostic strategies for digital and analog structures. The innovative principle of Virtual Scan pins allows external test resources to be utilized to obtain additional analog or digital diagnostic information.

Intelligent User Interface – for team work and rapid project development

The SYSTEM CASCON™ environment allows the definition of individual user profiles and access privileges (myCASCON). Various users can work on different projects. In a Floating License environment, individual tools can be shared world wide for sequential or for parallel use (Multi-Tool-Licensing). A consistent GUI, featuring innovative Multi-Phase-Inspectors, supports the project oriented application in laboratory and production as well as comfortable project transfer.
