    Hi Brian, There's some on the Farnell website. If you want to do very specialist decodes, or high speed protocols, then you need to check if that's supported. Some specialist protocols end up needing particular…

    Hi Brian,

     

    It depends on your requirements of-course. I have been using a Saleae Logic Pro16 for the past 5 years and can definitely recommend it. I am not sure how high you need to go in terms of frequency requirements for your projects, but as a logic analyzer, it will definitely cover a lot of protocols.

     

    Another tool that i have used and would recommend is the "USBee" devices. Their protocol decoder feature is especially really good! You should check it out.

     

    Lastly, if there are certain protocols you work with frequently, you should check compatibility on any device that you're considering buying. Not every device will support everything, while the common protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, etc ) are supported by everyone.

     

    Lastly, note that the logic analyzers are not very good as oscilloscopes, even though some of them claim to do that too.

     

    Hope it helps,

    Saad
