DFT Assistant for Altium Designer is a free software extension said to increase design for test capabilities of the unified schematic capture and PCB design tool. Helps validate correct boundary scan chain connectivity. Checks boundary scan chains for correct connection and termination at schematic capture stage, before PCB is produced. Allows export of a preliminary XJTAG project from Altium Designer to XJTAG development software, where additional tests can be developed. Identifies common errors in a JTAG scan chain, such as incorrectly connected or terminated test access ports (TAPs). Overlays the extent of boundary scan access onto the schematic diagram, allowing users to instantly see which components are accessible using boundary scan, and where test coverage could be further extended.
