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.
