XJTAG-LAYV-22D-03
OverviewThe Layout Viewer allows you to quickly find the physical location ofcomponents, nets and pins on a board. It provides the capability to viewlayout design data extracted from ODB++ jobs in XJDeveloper,XJInvestigator and XJRunner.
You can use the Layout Viewer to visualise any faults that are found whenrunning tests. The Connection Test output includes clickable links todirectly display all of the relevant circuit elements.
It is easy to see where devices are on the board

Key Benefit
Improve productivity by visualising the exactlocation of faults to be repaired
Features
• Aids identifying likely points of failure
• Measures distance between objects
• Control over which layers are visible
• Advanced layer and zoom controls
• Exports graphics to the clipboard, a file or printer
• Import pictures for clearer display
Free with XJDeveloper,XJInvestigator and XJRunner
The Layout Viewer is integrated intoXJDeveloper, XJInvestigator andXJRunner to help engineers quicklyidentify faults.
Visualise circuit elements
The advanced graphical displayhighlights the physical location ofselected components and nets.Individual layers can be turned on oroff as required to make it easy to seespecific circuit elements.

By showing the routing of nets, theLayout Viewer helps to locate the faulton the physical board by showing thepotential problem areas.
In the example below, XJRunner reportsthat Connection Test has failed, andhas identified two nets that are shortedtogether. By looking at the layout, it is
easy to determine that the four mostlikely locations are the pads on thememory devices. It is unlikely that thefault is under the BGA device as thepins are not next to each other.
By examining the four locations on theboard, it was quickly identified that theproblem was a soldering fault on IC31.

The Layout Viewer can be used toquickly locate where faults are on theboard under test.
XJRunner’s textual output providesdetails about the types of fault andwhich nets are involved. There are alsoclickable links that allow the fault to beeasily visualised in the Layout Viewer.
Import board pictures
For even more help in identifyingwhere on a board the faults arelocated, pictures of the front and theback of the board can be imported.
These images can then be displayedbehind the CAD data with itshighlighted components and nets.
