How NXPCA-PCI works with NXHX100?
Now I am using the NXPCA-PCI card, which connects with NXHX100 board(as a master station) through Host Interface, and at the same time I use a NXHX50 board as a slave station. And I run the application in the master and slave station, the profibus communication is OK. Now I want to test the NXPCA-PCI card, and I use cifXDemo program, but the result is as follows.
And In cifx Test Application there is nothing 
I find that: NXPCA-PCI shows up in the PC correctly , but the netX DPM can’t be accessed. Then I checked the application and DPM mode, The application is running OK, and I set PCI card to 8bit mode and set Hif parameters as follows to make the same width. I cannot find why?
I wonder Is there a hitop example program for NXHX to work with PCI ? I just have such programs, which don’t have a NXHX program about DPM using，maybe there is something missing in our CD?

You will need to restart the Driver through Device Manager, as the driver searches for a valid cifX Dual Port Memory on startup, and if it does not find one, it won't offer any cifX Device. It will mark the device as valid in the device manager in this case, as it is an adapter to evaluation boards and a user might want to access the dual ported memory directly (without any cifX API involved.
So you will need to load the firmware and restart the driver (Disable/Enable in Device Manager) afterwards.
