Surojit Chatterjee and Dean Lance Smith submit a tool for detecting digital circuit problems via signature analysis. Signature analysis is a technique used in servicing microprocessor-based systems. With this technique, an instrument called a signature analyzer is used to check a digital circuit by detecting the bit streams at various nodes of the circuit. The bit streams are displayed as hexadecimal signatures. The actual signature of a node is compared with its predetermined correct signature. The result of the comparison is used to trace faults in the system down to the component level. This distribution includes complete source in C and MS-DOS executables. The source supports Borland Turbo C but could possibly be ported to other environments. Signature analysis v1.0 is now available on CUG CD-ROM as volume #448
