LA104 logic analyzer

Just bought one of these and so far I'm happy with it.

Very cool. Just out of curiosity, is there an option to connect it to the PC and view the data there?

[Jeff_T]

Hi Chris, there are two options, which I must say I have not tried yet, one is save the display as a numbered .bmp file (0-99) secondly as a (0-99).csv file. There is 8MB of storage. It has 4 input channels with switchable protocol user/uart/spi and i2c, it also has 4 output channels for quick testing with uart/spi/i2c and pwm. I have tried it with IR decoding and sampling some SPI data and it works great with an accurate time measuring system. It has its limitations but for a quick look at some microcontroller signals without hooking up to a PC I think it will be perfect for me.

Nice. Now that I looked at it on Amazon, I keep getting emails asking if I'm still interested or pop-ups saying, "We've saved this deal for you!" LOL

Annoying ain't it?

Annoying ain't it?

Yes, and they're not the only ones who do that. Redbox is out of business now, but I remember when I would look at a movie on their site, if I decided not to get it, they would email me later and ask me if I was still interested and let me know that I should get it before someone else does, as if I won't ever get another chance! LOL

Also, Walmart, Best Buy and other sites "remind me" about things I looked at, but didn't buy. I guess they don't consider that if I didn't buy it when I looked at it before, I'm probably not interested.

And if its not that crap, its looking on Amazon or something and seeing stuff from other sites you've been on....

But logic analyzer looks good for price. I got Rigol DS1104Z-S plus and the logic probe set.

Yes its spooky how things you browse for start appearing on all your devices, tiktok has been in question for snooping data but I think the problem is everywhere.

@ JKnightandKARR that sounds like a nice scope, I had one similar in my basket when I ordered the LA but my wife thought it was too expensive so I took it out lol

Sigrok would not take the csv from the LA_104 for some reason so I started to put together a small Python app.

Oooooh it is..... $699+$199 for logic probe kit..

It is, think only way to avoid it is VPN, which i noticed that it slows my connection down..
