How to Use This Manual

Introduction

The FS2010 is a 32/64 bit, 0 to 133Mhz PCI-X State and Timing adapter probe for use with Agilent logic analyzers. This card has a universal card edge connector and a 3.3v extender card connector. The FS2010 PCI-X State/Timing adapter probe and extender card performs three functions.

•The first is to act as an extender card, physically extending a module up approximately 1.5 inches from the motherboard connector.

•The second is to provide a complete timing analysis interface between any PCI-X add-in slot and Agilent Logic Analyzers.

•The third is to provide a complete state analysis interface and software decode of the PCI-X traffic between any PCI-X add-in slot and Agilent Logic Analyzers.

The State/Timing Adapter Probe interface is a passive bus monitor which does not assert any signals on the PCI-X bus. Because the FS2010 interface does not actively buffer the PCI-X bus signals, negligible skew is introduced.

The configuration software on the diskette sets up the format menu of the logic analyzer for compatibility with your PCI-X bus.

This manual is organized to help you quickly find the information you need.

•Analyzing the PCI-X Local Bus chapter introduces you to the FS2010 and lists the minimum equipment required and accessories supplied for PCI-X bus analysis.

•The State Analysis chapter explains how to configure the FS2010 to perform state analysis on your PCI-X bus.

•The Timing Analysis chapter explains how to configure the FS2010 to perform timing analysis on your PCI-X bus.

•The General Information chapter provides information on the operating characteristics, the test point and cable header pinout and the mechanical drawing for the FS2010 module.
