FS1110 and FS1103 64-bit PCI Bus Analysis Software Features

• Accurate analysis for 3.3V or 5.0V, 33 MHz or 66 MHz environments with embedded PCI buses
• Reliable and accurate 32 and 64-bit PCI bus analysis
• PCI bus transaction protocol decode software is designed for software and hardware debug

Technical Details
The PCI protocol decode software executes in the Agilent logic analyzer. In State Analysis mode, the analyzer master clock is the PCI clock. The bus protocol decode software decodes the key PCI bus signals and presents a readable display that lists the transaction type, address, data and key status conditions such as wait states and retries. The software also supports user-defined symbols that can be easily added to the state listing display. With the Agilent 16700A and 16702A mainframes, the user can also select post-processing filters which allow the acquired data to display only chosen transactions. To assist with triggering, pre-defined resource terms have been included that can be used to prevent WAIT and IDLE states from being acquired, thus saving trace memory and providing an easier-to-read state display.

An optional protocol decoder is included called "PC Mapper". This protocol decoder allows the user to display bus transactions in terms of common PC accesses such as "video memory" or "RTC/CMOS RAM Data Port".

Cross-Domain Analysis
Are you analyzing data from multiple buses? Simply use this software to analyze the PCI bus, and then use another FuturePlus Systems product to monitor your other bus. We have analysis probes for the most popular computer buses. You can create your own custom measurement system, cross-domain trigger between buses, and view data from multiple buses simultaneously in the same display.
