Subject: Re: DSO / logic analyzer buying advice
I have a pair of instruments that one can't live without the other:
- HP16500C with HP16505A and lots and lots of options - This is my
"heavy gun". I can connect it to my PC's bus and see what code it is
executing. But don't have I2C, serial and SPI decoding.
- Saleae (clone) - Only 8 channels, but I can decode serial, I2C, SPI,
CAN, TWI and lots of other protocols
And I don't have $500 of toys.
Of course, when money gets better, I'll look for the 16ch Saleae, which
is fantastic but too expensive for me at this time.
