environment Lattice Semiconductor's ispVM System, a programming engine
that supports the IEEE 1532 Standard for Concurrent In-System
Configuration.
"From our experience with it, we can see that the concurrent
programming capability of ScanWorks with IEEE 1532 has the potential
to save our organization considerable time," said Doug Way, test
engineer at Alcatel and a member of the IEEE working group that
developed the IEEE 1532 specification. "The integration of IEEE 1532
capabilities into ScanWorks is very seamless.
"We addressed the in-system configuration needs of the
boundary -scan community, PLD tools vendors and suppliers of in-circuit
test (ICT) systems," Bonnett said.

Standard and network licenses are also available, ensuring flexible
pricing options and low cost of ownership.
