Hi All,
My current logic analyzers (an HP 64000 system and a Dolch LAM4850) have
been forced into early retirement and I'm looking for a replacement.
--snip--
Anyhow, I'm looking for recommendations. Something
that will give a few
years of service, and cost less than $4000 (or thereabouts). I have to keep
these poor old computers running somehow -- plus a few new developments
from time to time.
Advice would be appreciated,
I have several login analyzers (Dolch, Kontron, Philips) - and the one I like
the most is my Philips PM 3585/90. It is lightweight and easy to use. It has
96 Dual-analysis channels with 200 MHz timing and 50 MHz state. It supports
TTL, ECL or variable (-3V to +12V in steps of 100mv). Probe impedance is
200K/7pf. It has a 9" monochrome screen with 4 grey levels. It uses a
standard 3.5 diskette to save data, analysis setups, etc. The OS software and
manuals for it are often included in the sale price. My only gripe is that it
only has 2K deep acquisition memory (Although that seems to be sufficient for
debugging vintage systems).
eBay price range $150-$400 depending on number of probes, condition, etc.
Cheers,
Lyle
Pat
