Checking for PCI Bus Conflicts
One of the first items to check when there is a problem with any PCI board is to examine the
system PCI configuration and ensure that there are no conflicts with other PCI or system devices.
The PCI Diagnostic program (cpcidiag.exe) allows examination of the PCI configuration registers
and can save this information to a text file. Run the program via the Windows Start Menu shortcut
Start • Programs • Teledyne DALSA • Sapera LT • Tools • PCI Diagnostics.
As shown in the following screen image, use the first drop menu to select the PCI device to
examine. Select the device from Teledyne DALSA. Note the bus and slot number of the installed
board (this will be unique for each system unless systems are setup identically). Click on the
Diagnostic button to view an analysis of the system PCI configuration space.
