Eleven enhancements have been made to the ProVision boundary scan tool, including the addition of all instructions handling (including private instructions) within JTAG functional test. Netlist type autodetect has been added, which automatically recognizes netlist formats as belonging to certain tool vendors. WGL test vector format (as used for IC testing) is now supported through a ProVision plug-in. Can now test (IEEE) 1149 dot 6 to dot 1 connections. Other enhancements include support for FTDI USB to serial port peripheral devices (embedded on target board); HTML reporting for TTR and BSD in AEX sequences; the ability to export and re-import AEX sequences; support for double-latching bus logic; boundary scan register length check; support for multiple ID codes in BSDL, and 64-bit drivers for DataBlaster hardware.

Desktop Bonders are tabletop hot-bar reflow soldering systems capable of reflow soldering, heat seal bonding and/or ACF bonding, hot bar bonding, and heat staking applications. Use pneumatic bonding heads with quick connect blocks and thermo-plane thermodes. Thermode design offers ultra-fast heating and cooling cycles. Forced air-cooling after the heating process speeds the bonding process. Maintain co-planarity and withstand deformation. Eliminate voltage drop as current flows from front-to-back instead of left-to-right. Include left-right and front-rear slides, as well as rotary tables. Slide modules operate manually or pneumatically and have an option for three-stop positions. Additional options include optical alignment, Kapton feeder, water cooling, interposer modules, and customized product jigs. Desktop units are powered by Uniflow3.
