PCIScope Software Utility
PCIScope
is a powerful tool for Windows users. It was designed by a
Germany company called APSoft. This software utility is a valuable
resource to explore, examine and debug the PCI subsystem of your
computer. It was made to fit the requirements of the most demanding
users, especially engineers, programmers, and system administrators,
and to integrate all advanced functions and tools into one product.
Please visit
www.tssc.de
for more information about the capabilities of
PCIScope
and other utilities offered by APSoft.
An evaluation version of
PCIScope
is available for download at
www.tssc.de
. (You can purchase an inexpensive license from APSoft
for use beyond the evaluation period.)
PCIScope
has proven to be extremely useful when verifying and
debugging configurations involving the Magma PCI Expansion Systems
under any Windows platform.
PCIScope
can provide information to you and our Technical Support
Group such as PCI Bus Numbering, Resource Allocation, and other
information that may prove useful when debugging expansion chassis
or PCI card problems.
If you are experiencing problems setting up your system, you should run
PCIScope
before contacting the Magma Technical Support Group.
With the Magma expansion chassis powered up and connected to your
computer, load and launch the
PCIScope
application. The
PCIScope
Program will be installed on your computer and a window similar to the
one shown below will appear. (The example was taken from a Compaq
Armada 7400)
