Flynn Systems appoints Kontest as Scandinavian representative of onTAP (JTAG) Boundary Scan Software for PCB board design and test

NASHUA, NH May 09, 2003 � In another indication that boundary scan testing has finally entered the mainstream of printed circuit manufacturing and testing strategies, Flynn Systems has appointed Teleinstrument Kontest AB (www.kontest.se), of Sollentuna, Sweden, to represent onTAP pc-based boundary scan test software and hardware products throughout Scandinavia. In July 2002, onTAP became the first comprehensive JTAG test software to break under the long-anticipated $1000 price barrier.

�These days, all companies are paying close attention to the economics of test,� says Jurgen Sedlacek, Kontest�s Managing Director. �onTAP software stands out as one of the all-time remarkable test values. It reduces the cost of implementing boundary scan test by an entire order of magnitude over competing solutions.�

OnTap user Ulf Rangg�rd, of Optronic in Skellefte�, Sweden agrees. �We could not fit an expensive production tester into our budget and we hesitated integrating boundary scan into functional test-stations, as we anticipated heavy development and debug. We were surprised to be running in just a few days using onTAP software for our JTAG testing.�

�We are thrilled that Kontest are representing onTAP,� says Matt Van Wagner, Flynn Systems� Director of Marketing and Sales. �They are a long-standing, highly-respected Swedish test technology firm widely regarded for customer support. They bring a wealth of practical JTAG test expertise to all Scandinavian customers.�

OnTAP generates high-fault coverage board and system-level JTAG tests. Key features include: wide range of IEEE 1149.1 test options (interconnect, shorts, opens, TAP, IDCODE, Register Length, & more), ATPG with pin-level diagnostics, cluster testing for non-jtag FLASH and memory devices, DFT reporting, BSDL verification, JTAG test simulation, automatic handling of multiple scan chains, interactive �pin-toggle� mode, test scripting, Labview interface, and a straightforward GUI that guides new users through test development process. Runs under Windows NT/2000/XP. Tests are applied through inexpensive JTAG programming cables from Xilinx, Lattice, Altera and Insight Electronics.

30-day evaluation copies of onTAP are available at http://www.flynn.com.
