Let's assume that you need to simultaneously look at the inputs and outputs of a 16-bit counter to determine a timing error, but you have only a 2-channel scope – how do you look all of the required ...

There is much confusion when it comes to discussing bandwidth and logic analyzers. Traditionally logic analyzers are thought of as a purely digital measurement tool. However, as datarates increase and ...

Select between the Combination or Sequential circuit for analysis (Figure 16). Figure 16: Screen to select Combinational or Sequential Circuit Select the number of inputs (max of 3) and number of ...

Technology Editor Bill Wong takes a hands-on look at a compact logic analyzer, a handwriting calculator app, and sewable electronics. My Lab Bench has been piling up with stuff to check out, and I ...

Logic analyzers and oscilloscopes have coexisted for several decades. The emergence of additional digital inputs on scopes more than 15 years ago gave birth to mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs). Once ...

The basic test instrument suite — a bench power supply, a good multimeter and perhaps an oscilloscope — is extremely flexible, but not exactly “plug and play” when it comes to diagnosing problems with ...

Today, I’d like to highlight a tool that brings your hacking skills to a whole new level, and does that without breaking the bank – in fact, given just how much debugging time you can save, how many ...

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 ...

Nutter offers advice and resources for a person who wants to get the most out of his protocol analyzer After making several requests to get a protocol analyzer, we finally got the go-ahead to purchase ...
