SYSTEM
CASCON™
GOEPEL Electronics' SYSTEM CASCON software suite provides the industry's most comprehensive feature set, including intelligent Automated Test Pattern Generation and Diagnostics tools. The performance of a JTAG/Boundary Scan/ system is defined primarily by the capabilities and architecture of the software used. As the first vendor worldwide, GÖPEL electronic developed an Integrated Boundary Scan Development Environment in 1991, known as SYSTEM CASCON™. This unique Boundary Scan Workbench has been continuously improved with new intelligent tools and innovative new software features. Today, in its fourth generation, SYSTEM CASCON™ has acclaimed the status of an open graphical Boundary Scan Operation System with special features extending the test coverage across the complete Unit Under Test (UUT).
- Integrated
JTAG / Boundary Scan Development Environment,
supporting IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1149.4, IEEE 1149.6, IEEE 1532, and other related standards; - Device library of Boundary Scan and non-Boundary Scan components;
- CAD import, optional SCAN VISION tool for Layout and Schematic visualization;
- BSDL import and export, including syntax and semantics verification;
- Automated Test Program Generation (ATPG) and pin fault diagnostics (PFD) for:
- Infrastructure Test,
- Interconnect Test,
- Memory Cluster Test, and
- Logic Cluster Test;
- Automated tools for In-System Programming (ISP) for serial EEPROM and FLASH EEPROM;
- ISP
for CPLD and FPGA;
- supports manual test program creation through CASLAN programming language;
- multi-mode debugger;
- and
much more ...
SYSTEM CASCON is available in a variety of preconfigured software packages, notwithstanding custom configurations:

CASCON GALAXY
CASCON GALAXY provides a comprehensive tool set for the development and execution of Boundary Scan test and in-system programming applications, including debugging tools and automated diagnostics. For detailed information about CASCON GALAXY please click here.
CASCON POLARIS
CASCON POLARIS
provides a comprehensive tool set for the development and execution of
Boundary Scan in-system programming applications for FLASH
and serial
EEPROM as well as PLD and FPGA devices. For detailed
information about CASCON POLARIS please click here.
SCAN VISION
SCAN
VISION is an optional add-on tool for SYSTEM CASCON software packages,
enabling the graphical
display of schematic and layout data. For
detailed information about SCAN VISION please click here.
BSDL TestWriter
The
BSDL Testwriter™
software is a tool for the automated
generation of a test bench for Boundary Scan designs,
supporting IEEE 11491. and IEEE 1149.6. It processes BSDL files as
input and generates vectors for functional verification of all Boundary
Scan structures. Automating
the verification process, manual errors are avoided and the test
efficiency is substantially improved.
The BSDL Testwriter can optionally generate a STIL (IEEE Std 1450)
output. This link allows the use of the generated vectors for a
production test of the physical IC on automated test equipment (ATE).
For
detailed information about the BSDL TestWriter please contact
us.
BSDL Syntax Checker
The BSDL Syntax Checker is a stand-alone tool that can be used to verify the syntax and semantics of BSDL files. BSDL Syntax Checker currently supports IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1149.6. It is based on the same algorithms built into the BSDL import processor in SYSTEM CASCON. Please contact us for more details or to request your complimentary copy of the BSDL Syntax Checker.
Boundary
Scan Coach
The Boundary Scan Coach, a free, interactive
learning software illustrates how Boundary Scan test resources can be accessed and how
they can be utilized for structural interconnect testing. Boundary Scan
vectors can be applied to a Unit Under Test - either virtually or on a
real board - to demonstrate
the IEEE1149.1 principle. Contact
us
for your free copy of the Boundary Scan
Coach software.
