Opens and Shorts for PCBs using
Boundary-Scan
Figure 1. Boundary Scan Shorts on LVDS
Visual Fault Analyzer displays the actual
locations of manufacturing defects on a graphical image of the
PCB, to identify opens on point-to-point nets
and accelerate the fault isolation and resolution process for
bridging faults and stuck nets. The VIAs associated with the
nets, especially those vias underneath component bodies are
identified and their proximity to each other are evaluated.
VIAs related to 'opens' are also pinpointed so a technician can
easily identify which BGA device needs to be removed and
re-soldered. Without sophisticated tools like VFA, PCB fault
resolution forces a test technician to just "guess" as to where a
short or open may be located.

"The engineers here at IMS have years of experience in developing leading edge Automatic Test Equipment. That same expertise was used when we chose our 1149.1 based ATE provider. We found Intellitech's products had the features we needed for fast prototype debug and comprehensive test of our densely populated PCB's. The products offered an excellent value. I would not hesitate to recommend them."
