Patent ID: 8296613

Claim:
A system for remotely enabling boundary scan testing of a circuit board, device and/or system, the system comprising: a first computing component connected to a network and comprising: first computer readable media including computer executable instructions executable by one or more processors for: maintaining or accessing a library of test scan procedures each including test operands and associated output patterns for verifying correct electrical operation of a plurality of subject circuit boards; downloading at least one of the test scan procedures to a second computing component proximate the circuit board, device and/or system; controlling scanning of the circuit board, device and/or system locally, between the second computing component and the board, device and/or system such that only user inputs initial scanning directions from the first computing component, and test results need to be transmitted over the network between the second computing component and the first computing component; processing GUI interface instructions for monitoring the second computing component and the test scan procedure remotely via the network; and remotely processing test results from the scan procedure, the test results being transmitted via the network from the second computing component.
