Introduction
The PCI Active Analysis Probe module provides a complete
interface between any PCI add-in slot and Agilent Logic
Analyzers. The Analysis Probe interface buffers and in state
mode latches and decodes all PCI cycle types and transactions.
The PCI Active Analysis Probe is a passive bus monitor which
does not assert any signals on the PCI bus. The PCI bus
signals are buffered and then terminated with 90k ohm/10pf
terminators so that they are impedance matched to the logic
analyzer. Since the PCI Active Analysis Probe does contains
high speed low skew buffers very little skew is introduced.
The configuration software on the diskette sets up the format
specification menu of the logic analyzer for compatibility with
your PCI bus. When the state configuration file is loaded, an
inverse assembler is also loaded which decodes PCI
transactions into easy to read mnemonics.
