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.

How to Use This
Manual

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.

Analyzing the PCI Local Bus

This chapter introduces you to the PCI Scope Preprocessor and
lists the minimum equipment required and accessories supplied
for PCI Local Bus analysis.

Duplicating the
Master Diskette

Accessories Supplied

Minimum Equipment
Required

Before you use the PCI Preprocessor software, make a
duplicate copy of the master diskette. Then store the master
diskette and use the back-up copy to configure your logic
analysis system. This will help prevent the possibility of losing
or destroying the original files in the event the diskette wears
out, is damaged, or a file is accidentally deleted.

To make a duplicate copy, use the Duplicate Diskette operation
in the disk menu of your logic analyzer. For more information,
refer to the reference manual for the HP16500B mainframe.

The PCI Scope Preprocessor product consists of the following
accessories:

• The PCI Scope interface hardware, which includes the
interface circuit module.

• The MultiProbe configuration software on a 3.5 inch
diskette.

• This operating manual

The minimum equipment required for complete analysis of a
PCI Local Bus consists of the following equipment:

• An HP16500B based Logic Analyzer

• An HP 16535A MultiProbe Control Module

• A 208 pin MultiProbe Pod (HP part number E5322A)

8

• An Oscilloscope

• The PCI Scope Preprocessor Product

• A PCI target bus

Signal Naming
Conventions

Connecting the 208
pin MultiProbe Pod to
the PCI Scope
Preprocessor

This operating manual uses the same signal notation as the PCI
LOCAL BUS SPECIFICATION - REVISION 2.1. That is, a #
symbol at the end of a signal name indicates that the signal’s
active state occurs when it is at a low voltage. The absence of a
# symbol indicates that the signal is active at a high voltage.

To use the MultiProbe Pod two steps are necessary:

1. Install the PCI Scope Personality adapter option 101 to the

208 pin MultiProbe pod. For information on how to configure the
personality adapter from a blank personality adapter using the
calibration fixture refer to the chapter on Analog Analysis in this
users manual.

Do not touch the contact are on the MultiProbe Pod conductive
elastomer, which is on the bottom of the probe adapter. If
foreign material sticks to the contact area remove it using
adhesive tape.

2. Align the 208 Pin MultiProbe Pod with the retainer that is

mounted on the top of the 208 pin package that is on the PCI
Scope Preprocessor. Attach the pod tightly using the knurled
nut. The pod will not lie flat against the board.

Installing the PCI
Scope Preprocessor

Setting up the
MultiProbe control
card for PCI Analysis

The PCI Scope Preprocessor can be installed in any slot of the
PCI Local bus.

1. Install the MultiProbe pod as described in the previous

section.

2. Align the PCI module with the appropriate slot on the

target system and plug the module into the PCI
connector.

If your PCI Local bus is 32 bits the upper portion of the edge
connector will not be inserted into any connector. This will not
affect the modules operation on a 32-bit PCI Local bus.

The PCI Scope Preprocessor comes with MultiProbe compatible
configuration files that assigns all the PCI signals to their proper
pins. To load the files:

1. Install the PCI Scope Preprocessor software diskette in the

HP16500B mainframe floppy drive

2. If you have not already done so create the directory

MULTIPRB on your hard disk and copy the files

9

PCI_MUL.DUT and PCI.ADP from your PCI Scope
Preprocessor diskette to that directory.

3. Access the configuration menu of the MultiProbe Control

card.

4. Select POD setup for the POD that will be connected to the

Scope Preprocessor.

5. On the next menu select #2 Specify POD adapter and then

select the file PCI.ADP and select proceed.

6. Return to the MultiProbe Configuration menu and Select

Assign Signal Names

7. From the File selection menu select the MULTIPRB directory

on the hard disk.

6. Select the field next to File.

Select the file PCI_MUL.DUT

7. Load the file

With PCI_MUL displayed in the File field, select Load

File.

Connecting the
MultiProbe Control Card
to an Oscilloscope

Once you have completed loading these two files the PCI Scope
Preprocessor is ready for PCI analog analysis and the
configured POD in the MultiProbe configuration menu will
appear as below

For further information on the operation of the MultiProbe
Control Card refer to the HP 16535A MultiProbe Users Guide.

The operation of the PCI Scope Preprocessor is independent of
the Oscilloscope that is attached to the MultiProbe Control Card.
Refer to the HP 16535A MultiProbe Control Users Guide for
information on how to attach to the Oscilloscope.

10

Analog Analysis

Since the PCI Scope Preprocessor interface contains only
passive matching terminators it introduces negligible skew to the
PCI Local Bus signals.

Installation Quick
Reference

The following procedure describes the major steps required to

perform analog analysis measurements with the PCI Scope
Preprocessor module.

1. Install the PCI Scope Preprocessor module into a slot in

the target PCI Local bus.

2. Load the PCI MultiProbe configuration file

PCI_MUL.DUT from the MULTIPRB directory on the
hard disk. See page 9 for details on how to load this
file.

Once the file is loaded the POD that is connected to the PCI
Scope Preprocessor will be assigned the name PCI LogicScope
as shown below

Selecting the PCI
signals to acquire

Select the oscilloscope for each MultiProbe output using the
Select Signals menu of the MultiProbe control module.

1. Access the Select Signals menu.

2. Select the scope for each output

a) Choose the output (Output 1 or Output 2) of the
control module that is connected to the pod that is
attached to the PCI Scope Preprocessor.

In the Select Signal menu, select the Output field to
choose Output 1 or Output 2 of the control module. For
example, Output D1 would be output 1 from the control
module in slot D.

b) Select the scope that you will use.

In the Select Signal menu, select the scope field, then
choose the scope. You are selecting the scope that is
connected to the outputs that you chose in the previous
step.

3. Select the PCI signal for each output.

a) Access the menu.

If you are using an HP1634A Oscilloscope, you can
select signals in either the MultiProbe menu or the
Scope menu. Using the Scope menu means that you do
not need to change back to the MultiProbe menu every
time you want to choose a different signal. If you are
using any other scope access the MultiProbe Select
Signal menu.

b) Select the signals in one of the following ways:

• Choose the PCI LogicScope Pod and the pin number of the
PCI signal that you wish to see. Select the Pin Field, then
use the keypad.

• Choose the PCI LogicScope Pod and pin number of the PCI
signal. With the Pin field highlighted, use the knob
(HP16500B mainframe only) to scroll through the Selected
Signal list.

• Go directly to a signal name.

Select the Find Signal Name field, use the keypad to
insert the signal name, then select Done to close the
keypad. Select Find Next.

The following operating characteristics are not specifications,
but are typical operating characteristics for the PCI Scope
Preprocessor module.

32/64 bit PCI Local bus accepting the short card length and
universal connector pinout. All PCI local bus ground pins of the
universal board pinout are connected to the ground plane of the
PCI Scope Preprocessor module.

The PCI Scope Preprocessor does not implement JTAG
Boundary SCAN. Pins TDI and TBO (pins 4a and 4b) are
connected together so the scan chain is not broken.

No connection is made to the PCI signals PRSNT1# and
PRSNT2#.

The PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.1
The PCI Scope Preprocessor contains no active components

and therefore requires no power.

The PCI Scope Preprocessor requires one 208 pin MultiProbe
Pod with the option 101 personality adapter.

Signal loading

15

Per the PCI Local Bus Specification the PCI Scope
Preprocessor presents only one electrical load on each PCI bus
signal. The PCI Scope Preprocessor is designed to present a
worst case load (10pf) at the maximum stub length. For
