protocol analyzers, Logic represents a solid choice for an entry level logic analyzer. The unit also doesn’t skimp on quality. Logic is encased in anodized aluminum and comes with E-Z-Hook XKM Probes and high end ultra-flexible hookup wire. Logic comes at a time when even the simplest electronic applications today are very often digital, and often utilize digital communications like SPI, Serial, and I²C — communication protocols that Logic decodes and displays graphically. Without a logic analyzer, it can be very difficult and time consuming to debug even simple problems.

A logic analyzer lets you see everything that’s going on, measure timing accurately, and examine the communications between ICs, microcontrollers, and modules.

Logic lets users save complete session data (compressed) to open up later for reference or to email to colleagues to examine in their own Logic software. For external analysis, users can export data in binary and csv formats. In addition, the Logic has snapping timing markers, scroll-wheel zoom, mouse-over meta data, easy screenshot capture, and graphical protocol analyzer setup. The Logic software can be downloaded and tried for free at the company’s website.
