Logic analyzer TLA5202 vs USB analyzers (probe density, features, speed)
<< < (5/6) > >>

AFAIK all these logic analysers run the same software. Just try to install it and see how it goes. It would surprise me a lot if it doesn't work. I'd be more concerned with the compatibility between TLA software versions.

Many thanks, indeed! The packages do come up on the TLA5202 after installation ;D
Btw, I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 with original TLA 4.4.075.0 software.

I have had older wide Hp logic analysers like the 1630G and the 16500B. They were essential when I was using them to debug production microprocessor boards  where I wanted to watch the full address bus and data bus and find out where it failed.

More recently, I've used 8-bit Saleae logic analysers. The very deep memory of USB analysers somewhat makes up for the poor triggering possiblities.

Recently, I've wanted wide busses again - debugging an hp 9815 (6800 based calculator) and examining the  programming of 24 pin PALs. and wanted more pins again

Both of these are somewhat weird and associated with interests that change ... but it depends on what you're doing. The Tek and the USB analyser solve very different problems and you might want both. Which one you get first depends on what you're into now. The Tek will get cheaper and perhaps something with more memory depth will appear, so that encourages me to go for the USB initially. But eventually, we won't be able to find those old analysers at all.

I think glscopeclient offers the possibility of ganging together multiple analysers by correlating common channels. maybe this is a a good longer-term solution to the need for wide captures.

That is true. Logic analysers are a becoming extinct. I have been eyeballing a TLA7000 series logic analyser but realistically it is not worth the money for me for as long as my TLA715 keeps working. I do have a spare acquisition module though.

It does not appear to be working. This is what I get when I enable probe channels with i2c protocol.
