Introduction
The PCI Scope Preprocessor module provides a complete
interface between any PCI add-in slot and the HP MultiProbe
system. The Preprocessor interface connects the signals from
the PCI Local bus to the inputs of a 208 PQFP package used as
the MultiProbe connection point.
The PCI Scope Preprocessor is a passive bus monitor which
does not assert any signals on the PCI bus. The PCI bus signals
are terminated with 10pf terminators at the maximum allowed
stub length so that they provide the worst case PCI load. Since
the PCI Scope Preprocessor does not actively buffer the PCI
bus signals no skew is introduced.
The MultiProbe configuration software on the diskette sets up
the MultiProbe control module for analog analysis of the PCI
Local Bus.
This manual is organized to help you quickly find the information
you need.
The Analyzing the PCI Local Bus chapter introduces you
to the PCI Scope Preprocessor and lists the minimum
equipment required and accessories supplied for PCI bus
analysis.
The Analog Analysis chapter explains how to configure the
PCI Scope Preprocessor to perform analog analysis on your
PCI bus.
The General Information chapter provides some general
information including the operating characteristics for the
PCI Scope Preprocessor module and the pinout.
