Ever on the lookout for ways to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies, Lucent Technologies initiated a study to evaluate an implementation of ScanWorks™ software on the Agilent 3070 Series 3 in-circuit test (ICT) platform. Lucent anticipated that the ScanWorks/3070 combination could lower overall test costs and reduce printed circuit board (PCB) test complexity by allowing Lucent test teams to reuse boundary-scan tests at in-circuit test. The study demonstrated that significant time and cost savings on the test floor were possible, especially with regard to incircuit test development, fixture costs and fixture maintenance costs. Savings in these areas represented a total potential savings of nearly USD$1 million per year for Lucent. This paper summarizes the key results from the evaluation.
