Thank you for the video. I saw another video about your project in 1996 and I was puzzled "what is a logic analyzer?" (as a casual viewer that likes to see but has no electronic experience). The sentence "a 32 channle binary oscilloscope" makes it greats.
But yeah it should be pretty tedious to connect all the 32 probes on the thing. I can see why people go for oscilloscopes.
Thanks Dave! You just saved me a few clams. I was looking at a very clean HP 1630 for 50 bucks, thinking how sexy it would look on my kitchen table / electronics bench. But eventually someone will ask what does that do? Then I'll have to answer "well, it's the same thing as a deer with no eyes… No ideer. 😉
(2019) just picked up and cleaned out my very own HP 16500B. My hobby is old laptops, got this to help me analyze and repair problems, plus at the time it was the only oscilloscope near me on the used market. Btw I'm new to the game
hi sir very nice and interesting video I would be very happy if you can help me there are lots of confusion what is most better than we can use in all repair work oscilloscope or logic analyser
I recently picked up a HP 1660as 136 ch logic analyzer/oscilloscope mainly for use as a scope. And boy is it a heavy scope. even came with the training board and floppy plus a mouse and random accessories. And alot more channels than I most likely to ever needbut it's alot better than my old scope a analog Goldstar 20mhz scope.
Hi Dave, Quick question, is there any logic analyzer which can playback the captured data. So lets say we captured data from a microcontroller and then remove the microcontroller and playback the software to emulate for that same microcontroller?
Hey Dave. On the last subject you talked about compressing data. Is there any practical reason not to? It seems pretty obvious for a digital-only device not to waste space like that, even because this kind of compression wouldn't even require much processing power. I know it might be tightly related to the product's design, but would you design one, for what reason would you not trivially choose compression (again, digital-only) ?
Do you age Dave?

immer super
Wrong explained. Compression sampling must store timestamp at each event (4 or 8 bytes). Synchronous sampling stores 1 bit at each sample.

10 years difference but somehow it seems that you were as great then as now. Except your camera setup is better.
Even your mic was really good.
Geee how time flies… i just ordered a: USB Logic Analyzer 24MHZ 8 Channel 12C UART SPI IIC CAN 1Wire Debug For ARM FPGA for about $10, any comments?
This is the best chanel for electric engineer, embedded designer, and computer programmer.
can any of these be used to decode the logic of a cpld chip?

oscilloscope or logic analyser
I am from the future (2019),
hello to young Dave with big round goofy eyes !

The times have changed for pricing very much since this video was made
#44… Wow! 😮🙂
I've been subscribed for a few years now, but when I searched for "Using a Logic Analyzer", this video was at the top of the ranking!
Thanks for explaining this in detail!
mhhh you did just fire my interest in engineering

trippy bass .
I got one for $4. It's about the size of a pack of gum.
Good video but pretty rudimentary.
excellent content!

Logic analyser, Bah! Use your tongue.
good tutorial. thank you.
Main advantage is that for $10 to $20 on ebay you can see what your signals are doing 😉
Thanks, this helped! or cofused even more ;D
Oh man, I thought I was onto a cheap oscilloscope alternative here, but looks like it's still like flying blind
