Has anyone ever had a chance to look at this little logic analyzer?
Hi Matt, I looked into it when I was buying a replacement for my Rohde & Schwarz LAC64 last year. My main doubts about the Logic were the slow max sample rate, that it uses USB polling so possible to miss events (only 4x 512byte buffers on-board), and rather basic software. Looking at it again it appears they've bumped the sample rate somewhat and perhaps the software has improved. I also considered the Sigma http://tools.asix.net/dbg_sigma.htm which is a nice device. I was impressed by the sample depth as I had plans of snooping CPU busses, dumping the data through a disassembler and getting to the internals of some boards. In the end though I felt the software wasn't up to scratch. I finally ended up buying an Intronix http://www.pctestinstruments.com/ The software is amazing, it has a great sample rate, reasonable depth, 34 channels so enough for a CPU, RAM and intermediate logic, and real-time update. I really can't stress how good the software is. I have no hesitation in suggesting the Intronix as a starting point for anybody considering an LA. cheers, tim _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
