PXI Hardware

The PXI-1000 hardware kit is a high throughput, flexible JTAG (IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1149.6 boundary scan standard) controller and single port pod for the ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments. The PXI-1000 applies tests generated by three of the test technologies supported by the ScanWorks platform, including boundary-scan test (BST), IJTAG Test (IEEE1687) and FPGA-controlled test (FCT). The test, validation, debug and programming operations supported by ScanWorks cover a wide range of processes, including the following: the BST tool supports structural tests for shorts and opens, scan path verification, interconnect tests, device programming, and memory access tests; and the FCT tool supports using an existing functional FPGA as an embedded board tester and for device programming.
