Optional Auxiliary PCI connector
The PCI Bus Analyzer Card incorporates a PCI connector on top
which extends the system PCI bus and allows other PCI cards to be
plugged into the analyzer for development or production testing. This
feature allows the analyzer to monitor the same point-to-point signals
such as REQ# & GNT# on the card under test without requiring any
external connections. In this mode, both the analyzer and the card
under test require only one PCI slot. Special design methodology has
been incorporated to minimize any reflections, delay or cross-talk.
This feature only exists on the TA660A PCI analyzer and not on the
Compact PCI version.
Figure 2 illustrates such a test setup. An On-Off switch on the
analyzer card enables and disables the power and signal connections
between the system and the card under test allowing rapid cycling of
the test cards without shutting off the system power.
