XJTAG Professional is for debugging and testing PCBs with high pin count BGA devices. The interconnect test is said to exercise 5,000 nets in less than a second because of improvements to algorithms. It can also identify a higher proportion of faults and accurately report their locations. XJEase has added language features added to make the whole test script writing process more intuitive. Test code is now separated from configuration files. A COM Interface has been added to integrate with test executives such as LabVIEW, Visual Basic and other Windows-based custom applications.
