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

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.
