Clip FAQ

Can I perform cluster device verifications with Clip ?

 Yes - Clip allows users to specify groups of boundary-scan compliant pins and subsequently set them as read (input) or write (output) per vector or pattern - vector sets are unlimited in length but can only be run in a linear or sequential manner. Single stepping and breakpoint setting is included however. For test pattern analysis, looping and conditional branching choose JTAG Live ‘Script' option.

Does Clip include any ATPG functions ?

 Yes - Clip allows users to set walk-1, walk-0 or binary count patterns across a given group of boundary-scan pins.

Does JTAG Live take control of BSDL compliance settings ?

 Yes, Compliance bits are detected by the BSDL model parser and warnings issued to the JTAG Live user.

I have SPI and I2C devices to test which JTAG Live option do I choose ?

For simple address and acknowledge tests Clip option is sufficient.

For testing of devices that can be programmed with variable data and/or can offer variable results that must be checked against limits (e.g. ADCs) then the programming features that Script offers are most suitable.
