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)
