Add Scan Groups
Tools Supported: FastScan and FlexTest
Scope: Setup mode
Usage
ADD SCan Groups {group_name test_procedure_filename}...
Description
Adds a scan chain group to the system.
The Add Scan Groups command defines a scan chain group that contains scan
chains for the design. The procedures defined in test_procedure_filename control
the set of scan chains which make up the scan chain group.
If you specify “dummy” as the group name and provide a test procedure filename,
the tool expects the test procedure file to contain only the seq_transparent and
test_setup procedures. Doing so allows you to run ATPG without having a scan
structure currently in the design.
You can define multiple scan chain groups on one command line by repeating the
argument pair for each scan chain group.
Arguments
•group_name
A required string that specifies the name of the scan chain group that you want
to add to the system.
•test_procedure_filename
A required string that specifies the name of the test procedure file that contains
the information for controlling the scan chains in the specified scan chain
group.
