When I first saw this, I thought, is this just another cheap Saleae Logic knockoff.
Well not even close.The numbers don't lie.
Saleae 8/16 Pro $479/$599
4 channels @ 500 MS/s
Digilent Digital Discovery $250
8 channels @ 800 MS/s (with HS adapter)
(number of active channels at highest sampling rate)
With the High Speed adapter this unit has some real capability at a price point that can't be touched.
Still the Saleae has been the leading mini format analyzer for so long, only fair to make some comparisons.
Both are based on the Spartan-6 FPGA.
And while Saleae may have a slightly more 'polished' software interface, Digilents Waveforms interface is very easy to use and frequently updated with new features.
With a few more added bus analyzers, Saleae could find themselves easily surpassed by this new addition to the Digilent line of logic products.
