All applications that require access to the boundary-scan chains without physical proximity (eg. application execution where human access is not possible) can be supported by TapSpacer technology. Examples of the range of new applications made possible by the Ethernet-based TapCommunicator are:
Remote system control
Environmental testing
Factory with multiple production lines
Contract manufacturer with different brands of boundary-scan controllers
Supports remote boundary-scan operation
Gigabit Ethernet channel between controller and target
Zero signal degradation between uplink and downlink modules
Full boundary-scan IEEE std 1149.x functionality
