A logic analyzer records bus communications between two chips. If you’ve ever had a problem getting two chips to talk, or wanted to reverse engineer a protocol, a logic analyzer is the tool you need ...

[Larry Wall], the father of Perl, lists the three great virtues of all programmers: Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. After seeing that Saleae jacked up the prices on their popular logic analyzers to ...

Beaverton, Ore.—Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced two new logic analyzers—the TLA7012 portable mainframe and TLA7016 benchtop ...

Just as the oscilloscope is the instrument of choice for analog electronics, and the spectrum analyzer is preferred for RF measurement, the logic analyzer is the go-to instrument for digital system ...

Logic analyzers, long a mainstay of chip design, are finding new demand for IoT devices—and frequently in different forms than in the past. Once associated with big, bulky benchtop instruments, this ...

In a previous DEV-monkey column I described several low-cost logic analyzers. While talking with exhibitors at the April 2010 Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, CA, I came across several other ...

Tracking down bugs in complex digital systems is a mighty challenge for design engineers, especially considering the rocketing speeds of microprocessors, buses, and other elements in these systems. To ...
