At the current Salea prices levels it makes more sense to buy an oscilloscope with digital inputs (or upgrade your existing DSO if possible).

If a Logic 4 would have been enough he doesn't even need the digital channels. Standard 4 channel scope should be enough.

But i can understand why someone would prefer a Saleae. For decoding i also prefer my Logic Pro 8 because its much more convenient than decoding on a small scope display. And its silent.

With a standard scope you cannot do a lot of things that you do with a digital LA / sniffer, first to log long communication period.

Anyway, as i previously told here, an old Logic 4 would have been more than enough.

How about this (if you want I could send it from the UK)?

This is exactly the example that i was referring to when i was saying that the only seller found online, so far, with a Logic 4 in listing was asking 3X original price  ;D

Just to clarify, i'm able to afford much more expensive devices, if needed and justified, but this is not the case for the new Saleae product line, i rather would prefer to give my money to other companies with a different business spirit.

Well... Perhabs try sourcing a used genuine Saleae device?

Sry, I was half heartedly reading through the thread and have missed that...  :palm:

And yes, I do feel you - the prices keeps me from buying one. Their product and software are great, and easy to use that what makes it attractive in my eyes.

Have you tried the Picoscope 2000 MSO series?

It seems a straight-forward business decision: either the Saleae unit provides enough value to be worth its price, another competing unit offers more value, or none of the solutions are providing enough return on investment. I don't see a problem with business spirit if it's apparently the only device in its price class that offers the feature that's important to you. Clearly they were charging too little before, though keep in mind the protocol triggering feature was added later, so early on their analyzers didn't provide the same value.

If you look at TotalPhase, who is operating in the same market segment, then they arguably offer even less value for money, and I imagine their low-end devices aren't much more than a MCU and some software. But given they are around for well over a decade, clearly people pay what they ask for a professional tool rather than a development board and a firmware/software project.

Have you taken a good look at the Digilent Digital Discovery yet? I think it supports protocol triggering, but I don't know how it compares to Saleae. Though the plastic case doesn't look quite as professional as the Saleae, so clearly the Saleae is worth more ;). You can sometimes find the Digital Discovery relatively cheap on eBay if you're lucky.

Well,it's the "normal" 24MHz 8-ch analyzer you find for $6.
I thought it was a better one, but that's Fluke pricing for peanuts.
This model was launched 13 years ago for $149... Asking for $270, what the...?
