The Asset Intertech RIC-1000 ScanWorks Remote Instrumentation Controller is a networked boundary scan controller that bridges ScanWorks software on a host PC with remote units under test via Ethernet. The device distributes test intelligence through the ScanWorks Embedded Instrumentation Engine (EIE) architecture, executing pre-stored tests from onboard memory to streamline validation, debugging, and in-system programming operations. It enables remote access and control over standard TCP/IP connectivity, making it suitable for distributed test environments and field operations.
## Technical Specifications
**Boundary Scan Interface**
• Single Test Access Port (TAP) conforming to IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG)
• Maximum TCK frequency: 50 MHz, selectable in 36 increments from 160 kHz to 50 MHz
