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 Mobility 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)
