Timing Analysis
Installation Quick
Reference
The following procedure describes the major steps required to
perform timing analysis measurements with the PCI Active
Analysis Probe module.
1. Set the State/Timing switch to TIMING. The State LED
will be doused. See page 10 of this manual for details
on the front panel switches.
2. After removing the probe tip assemblies, plug the logic
analyzer cables into the Analysis Probe cable headers.
See pages 12 and 13 of this manual for details.
3. Power down the PCI target. Install the PCI Active
Analysis Probe module into a slot in the non-powered
target PCI Local bus. Then power up the target.
4. Load the logic analyzer configuration file by loading the
appropriate file from the Analysis Probe interface
diskette. See pages 16 and 17 of this manual for
details.
Timing Mode Skew
Since the PCI Active Analysis Probe contains active input
buffers it introduces skew to the PCI Local Bus signals. The
skew is as follows:
• Any PCI bus signal to the PCI clock -1.0 to +2.3ns
maximum
• Any PCI bus signal to any other PCI bus signal 2.1ns
maximum
