As far as I know, PicoScopes can not trigger on data. Best regards egonotto --- End quote --- Yes, it seems you are right, in documentation there is no mention about trigger mechanism working on serial decoder output and i find out some customers asking for that in their forum, for about 1K euro i would say it's quite a big lack. How do you use your Digital Discovery ? |

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. ... --- End quote --- The value is 99% in their software application, all the job is done on the PC, especially with simple FX2 LA, it would make sense to sell also stand alone SW licenses, ... --- End quote --- I agree with alm - it seems to me that you should consider whether the price of a product is reasonable in terms of the feature you want. If Saleae's product is the only one that provides a critical feature and if getting that feature is worth $500 (assuming the Logic 8 will do it for you) then whether that feature is 99% software 1% hardware instead of 99% hardware 1% software shouldn't really be a concern. The hardware & software are a product package that provides a solution and it costs $500. It's certainly valid not to like Saleae's business model, but I personally don't think it's a dishonest business model. If you need this for your own revenue generation you should maybe weight the dollars & cents (or Euros & cents) more heavily than emotions about the way the product is being sold. Of course, it's none of my business really. You'll need to make the choice yourself. --- End quote --- >"Clearly they were charging too little before" I do not agree, the old application offered a lot less and the cost of the devices that they were selling over one hundred dollars was a fraction of that, with the "old" component cost i see a decent margin. Said that, if you have a catalog of devices starting from 100 USD and suddenly you step 5X, well, you cannot expect to maintain the previous customer base. For instance, take the Logic 8, 8bits @ 100MS/s on USB 2.0 interface plus gimmick analog section : 500 USD ... come on. |

Huh, have Salaeaeaea increased their prices again? They already priced themselves out of the market before the chip crisis began. |
