Cambridge, United Kingdom. 17 March, 2026 – XJTAG®, a trusted name in electronics testing and programming, is for the first time making its powerful project exploration and sharing tools available as the standalone XJBoardExplorer. It allows design teams to securely share complex board data across production and service, both internally and with contract manufacturers, using controlled, read-only access. Test engineers can interrogate the design data to investigate PCB assembly problems without attaching to hardware. With XJTAG’s industry-leading combination of netlist, schematic and layout explorers integrated into a single easy-to-use tool, there is no faster and more powerful way to communicate and share detailed board information securely across every stage of the product lifecycle.

Building on years of experience in electronics design and testing, XJBoardExplorer is fundamentally easy-to-use. Search for components, pins or nets and intuitively follow them between the explorer, schematic and layout views with a single click, for faster troubleshooting. Dive deep into design information, including Bill of Materials details and JTAG configuration, and view the PCB layout with full control over layer visibility, custom image layers and more.

XJBoardExplorer can import and parse schematic (PDF), layout (ODB++) and BOM (Excel/CSV) files. The ODB++ parser is highly fault tolerant, capable of importing and displaying any viable project. In addition, the ability to configure column assignment in the BOMs within XJBoardExplorer allows you to easily find and review information for efficient analysis. It also supports opening XJTAG’s read-only XJPack file format.

Collaborative at its core, XJBoardExplorer allows easy, controlled sharing of complex PCB projects. Protect your intellectual property with XJBoardExplorer’s ability to export non-extractable project files while preventing access to the source data – ideal for teams involved in transfer-to-manufacture, giving full control and protection from modification and extraction of proprietary information.

XJBoardExplorer helps you solve problems fast on projects of any scale, across multiple boards, with multiple variants of each. Intelligent search functionality using information contained in the netlist, schematic and layout source data allows users to quickly pinpoint areas of interest as well as inspect design data, take measurements and much more.

Whether you’re looking for a simple electronics viewing tool or want the power to examine even the most complex projects, XJBoardExplorer is the tool you need, delivering speed, clarity and control.
