Sorry for the email with zero new content. It was a "mis-click".
Don't bother with a stand-along logic analyzer. They were designed for the old days with people built stuff using about a hundred or so 74xxx TTL chips. No one does that any more. Today we use micro controller and FPGA and only enough small scale logic a needed for glue. Mostly none at all. The features you need, those old analyzers can't do. You want to do stuff like de-code the data off a I2C or SPI or serial link and reverse engineer a protocol. The old units are useless for this and they have horrible user interfaces. the PC based ones are better now. This is NOT true for oscilloscopes. Those are better to have the dedicated unit. I looked to replace my aging Tektronix 365 and found it was not worth buying another used scope. The new ones are THAT much better.
