New XJBoardExplorer Project Sharing Tool – now available

Introducing XJBoardExplorer, a standalone tool that brings the project exploration capabilities you know from the XJTAG test suite into a dedicated application.

XJBoardExplorer allows your design team to easily and securely share board data across your company, or with contract manufacturers, using controlled, read-only access. It combines XJTAG’s netlist, schematic and layout explorers into a single easy-to-use interface, making it straightforward to review detailed board information for easy analysis, and to investigate PCB assembly problems without attaching to hardware.

Key features of XJBoardExplorer include:

  • Easy-to-use – move between netlist, schematic and layout with one click
  • Collaborative – share complex projects between design, production and service
  • Fast – find components, pins and nets instantly using powerful search
  • Adaptable – import and set up new projects; compatible with all major EDA tools
  • Compatible – open existing XJTAG XJPack files
  • Variants – handle board variants and configuration from other XJTAG products
  • Multi-board – explore multi-board projects and complex hierarchical schematics
  • Control – limit extraction of information and editing, for sharing with third parties
  • Flexible licensing – choose network or cloud licensing options

XJBoardExplorer can open read-only XJPack files. It can also take your source PDF, ODB++ and BOM files and export its own project for easy sharing.

XJBoardExplorer helps you solve problems fast on projects of any scale, across multiple boards. Intelligent search functionality using information contained in the circuit design data allows users to quickly pinpoint areas of interest as well as interrogate the data and make measurements.

Faster test setup with new XJEase Library additions

Over the past 12 months, 2283 new part families and 493 new XJEase files have been added to help you reduce test setup time and categorise devices more efficiently. This expands support for categorising tens of thousands of device models you may have used in your designs. Use the device checker to see if the devices you want to test are already supported:

Recent XJTAG updates

In XJTAG 4.1 and 4.2, support has been added for XJLink-PF40 and XJLink-PF20 test controllers, multi-sourcing, “follow-in” functionality, along with hundreds of additional fixes and feature enhancements to the whole of the test suite.
