What is a logic analyzer for?
Saleae Logic 8 captures board-level digital and analog activity so developers can inspect what firmware and buses actually do. Protocol decoding and capture search are especially useful for embedded debugging.
Key specs
It provides eight multi-use channels, up to 100 MS/s digital sampling and 10 MS/s analog sampling, with support for SPI, I2C, UART and many other decoders.
Complement to a scope
A logic analyzer excels at digital timing and protocol content. Use an oscilloscope alongside it when signal integrity, noise or analog waveform quality matters.
