I will soon be getting Rev 1 of my design up and running with a XC167 uP. I'm looking for opinions from people with experience getting uP boards up and running in regards to Logic analyzers and scopes. I need to buy a new scope anyway and am looking at the Agilent MSO 4ch + 16logic scope. It has I^2C and SPI triggering which I like, but would I be better off buying a real Logic analyzer? Is it even necessary? My interest is just to help speed up getting this up and running. I'm assuming I will run into problems talking to deferent devices along the way. I know its hard to believe, but I actually have made mistakes before.........LOL....... Just looking for people opinions. Thanks, Mike Also, Anyone know of any good computer based logic analyzers with good and user friendly software?
Mike; I gave you some bad info last night. That's what I get for logging into the forum after my bed time. The EZ-USB is my Cypress Eval Board. The pocket logic analyzer is the USBee ZX at http://www.usbee.com. Sorry about that. Bradford
Thanks guys..........I was thinking a Logic analyzer would probably be a waste of money considering how little I would use it. I will check out that pocket analyzer for sure! Thanks for your opinions guys! Mike
