ScanWorks® Platform for Embedded Instruments

Technologies

The ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments is a synergistic environment for multiple technologies that enables validation, test and debug applications. The value of ScanWorks multiplies geometrically as its implemented technologies increases.

What is Embedded Instrumentation?

A wide range of instrumentation functionality is being embedded into chips, onto circuit boards and in systems. Before ScanWorks, the application of these embedded instruments was often limited to a narrow set of purposes defined by the embedding party, such as a chip manufacturer, circuit board designer or system supplier. Tools on the ScanWorks platform extract the value inherent in embedded instrumentation intellectual property (IP) by applying this rich functionality beyond its original scope.
