If you hook the logic analyzer to the data lines on the CPU, the disassembler can recognize the binary words as CPU instructions and actually print out the instructions as they are executed. I've never done this so I'm not exactly sure when it would be useful since there are easier ways to read the source code. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Noel Johnson To: TechToolsList@flippers.com Sent: 1/14/00 7:36 PM Subject: Re: Fluke replacement??

That link is for a logic analyzer which is slightly different from the function of the Fluke 9010. The equipment you found is more like a Tektronics 1240/1241 or an HP 1650. The Fluke controls the board from

the

CPU socket, where as a logic analyzer simply reads the binary outputs at various points on the board.

Interesting! (I am still very much a newbie at this stuff) :-) The ad does mention: Optional disassemblers for popular microprocessors (Z80, 8031/8051, 8085, 8086, 8088, 6502) What do these do? Thanks, Noel
