--- Quote from: nctnico on September 03, 2022, 09:11:00 pm ---Again, the low end LAs typically don't have the trigger & storage abilities to do what you suggest. --- End quote --- You know better than to snip context and invent strawman arguments. Your doing that is surprising and unimpressive. Which bit of this did you not understand.... --- Quote from: tggzzz on September 03, 2022, 08:57:59 pm ---My contribution is centred on what makes good LAs expensive. --- End quote --- |

And thus your remark is not applicable to what the OP is looking for; you should have made clear in your earlier replies that what the OP is looking for might not exist in her/his budget range. But it all depends on the requirements we still know nothing about. Fact is that in today's world a logic analyser is a very niche piece of equipment. Keysight and Tektronix have stopped making logic analysers a long time ago. In 20 years from now it may not even be possible to perform measurements where a logic analyser would be ideal because the equipment is no longer in working order. |

It is a small niche but I don't think it is going away anytime soon. I was assuming that the OP is most likely looking for a Saleae-style USB pod. Although I realize that "PC compatible" might mean (or used to mean) that it runs PC software. |

Tektronix has for sure. |

That second sentence demonstrates why your first sentence is nonsensical. --- Quote ---Fact is that in today's world a logic analyser is a very niche piece of equipment.

You seem to think the sun shines out of MSOs, and that they don't have limitations. MSOs are just as limited as LAs, but in different ways. Neither MSOs nor LAs are suitable for "higher up the stack" debugging, but if I had the option I would choose a decent two channel scope, a decent LA, and printf() statements. |
