Version 8.3 of its ScanExpress Boundary-Scan Tool Suite has been released by Corelis. The new software update features an enhanced user interface for ScanExpress Viewer, test and programming support for e.MMC components in 4-bit configurations, and improved scripting support, plus numerous improvements spanning the complete suite of ScanExpress software applications.

The new release brings improved project management features for ScanExpress TPG including a streamlined project creation wizard, broader support for test project identification conventions, and a fully revised project selection user interface.

There are new boundary-scan script functions for controlling SPI peripherals and improved direct I2C IO functions with support for repeated start conditions and the ability to abort transactions on NAK conditions with compatible hardware controllers.

Enhanced e.MMC in-system-programming (ISP) and interconnectivity testing has been introduced for devices utilising a 4-bit configuration. Supported components can be erased, programmed, verified, and tested for connectivity when connected to a boundary-scan component.

Aldo added is new saveable docking capability for all ScanExpress Viewer tool windows, allowing operators to better customise and maintain the tool layout to fit their needs.

The ScanExpress JET application programming interface (API) can now execute any script function, including functions that access registers, halt or run the CPU, and more.

Current Corelis customers with a valid maintenance contract can now access the new software version 8.3 through the Corelis support website.

Corelis offers free training to all clients so that they may immediately utilise the various new product features and innovations.
