SCAPIN is an automatic scan path generator for gate level netlists. SCAPIN inserts a scan path in the netlist Input_name and drives a new netlist Output_name. This scan path contains all registers specified in the file Path_name.path (see below for the exact syntax). SCAPIN adds also 3 new connectors in the netlist: scan_in, scan_out and scan_test in order to control the scan path. Eventually SCAPIN adds an output buffer before the output connector scan_out (option -B).

indicates the path to the read/write directory for the session.
indicates the input netlist file format.
indicates the output netlist file format.
indicates the location of a parameter file (with extention .scapin) containing the properties (ports name, models name etc ...) of all cells needed for the scan path insertion. (see below for the exact syntax)

Sets verbose mode on. Each step is displayed on the standard output.
All registers of the scan path are replaced by an equivalent scannable register cell (called reg-mux). (With the default option a simple multiplexor is added just before all registers of the scan path).
Adds an output buffer before the output connector scan_out.
Specifies a parameter file (with extention .scapin) containing the properties of all cells needed for the scan path insertion. (see below for the exact syntax)

Path_name
Specifies a parameter file (with extention .path) containing an ordered list of all instances (registers) of the scan path. It contains also the name of the 3 connectors scan_in, scan_out and scan_test. (see below for the exact syntax)
