I’ll check it out in my next project, Adrian. Thanks. But it is still another 
tool to learn, needs setup etc. I still feel there’s merit to using the analog 
and digital capabilities of PulseView.

Cheers.

debugger



If you're going to acquire data via the target's own peripherals, or display 
process variables, does this help ?

Hey everyone,

PulseView is a fantastic tool. I prefer it over my $6000 mixed signal 
oscilloscope when it comes to the logic analyzer. Kudos.



I had this idea, but frankly diving into the code looks overwhelming to me and 
neither do I have the time to execute such a project. But maybe someone finds 
it interesting:



So when I debug code on an embedded system, I routinely use the processor’s DAC 
to output a (constantly changing) variable. Often I hook up a multi-DAC via I2C 
to then plot the variables on my scope. For example if I run a filter in 
software, or a PID loop. So would it not be possible for an embedded system 
(incl Arduino) to generate the datastream on USB that would readily feed into 
PulseView ? No intermediate logic analyzer or scope.

Pulseview can already show four (?) analog waveforms, and digital values in 
parallel. The protocol decoders also demonstrate that PulseView could possibly 
display debug strings as well.

So rather than debugging with the good old serial terminal, I think it would be 
cool to feed directly into PulseView. Much easier to read and one would get 
timing info at the same time.

What do you think ?
