PCIScope
Overview
PCIScope is a powerful monitoring tool designed by the German company
APSoft. This software utility is used to explore, examine and debug the PCI
subsystem of your computer. PCIScope has proven to be very useful when
verifying and debugging configurations involving an NI PXI expansion
system under a Windows platform. It can provide information such as PCI
bus numbering and resource allocation, as well as other information that
may prove useful when debugging expansion chassis or PCI card problems.
When the PCIScope utility is installed on your computer, a window similar
to the one shown in Figure A-1 will appear. (The example shown was taken
from a Compaq Armada 7400.)
