Product Description

This is a powerful logic analyzer in a very small anodized aluminum package from Saleae Logic. We absolutely love the simplistic, sleek design with light-weight software and a high-quality finish. Who needs 50+ connections when you're troubleshooting I2C? With USB connectivity, you can analyze up to 8 digital waveforms and timing information on your I2C, SPI, serial, and digital IO lines with ease. Great for those reverse engineering projects as well. Works with signals 5V or lower!

Includes everything you need in a compact carrying case. Test leads are disconnectable from the Logic unit. This makes it easy to remove the expensive portion of Logic from a board when you've got lots of hooks in place.

Unit is fully over-voltage protected, as well as protected against failures from plugging USB 5V into the unit's ground.

Software is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Excellent item 14 Aug 2011
By Zaragon
Unboxing the device is quite an interesting experience. The seller packaging protected the manufacturer's box nicely. The product box looks sophisticated as it is a plain white with a device image on the front and a picture of the software display on the rear. When you open it everything in packed in the semi-hard storage/carry case included which is of excellent quality and can easily be thrown into a tool box.

This is where you get a surprise, opening the case your first thought is likely to be 'oh no they've forgotton to put the device in the case'. Don't worry, it is tiny, or at least smaller than you are probably expecting. It is hidden away in the top of the carry case amongst the test leads. The device itself is 1.5 inches square (4.5cm).

Hooking it up to a computer, it works under Windows, Linux and OSX, is easy and it connected first time with the software. You don't get the software in the box, you have to download it from the manufacturer website but this is free and can be downloaded and installed at any time even before you purchase. Without an actual logic plugged in the software runs in a demonstration mode where it generates samples itself so you can test out the full software functionality without paying out money.

The device streams the samples to the computer over the USB bus so if you have a particularly slow computer you may need to plug directly into the computer rather than a hub and possibly suspend other background software if you want capture at the very highest rates.

At present you don't get a real-time display, though I understand it is on the list of software enhancements planned, but this only rarely useful. Neither is it an oscilloscope, it only shows logic 1 or logic 0 you have no indication of the actual voltage levels so if you want it for that purpose it can't do it.

The analyser is a logic display but also included is a number of protocol analysers which you can enable and configure to the channels as desired. This can be done before or after capture it doesn't make a difference. All the analysers are free, they expect to add more and provide the software interfaces and examples for you to write your own if so inclined.

Already within days of receiving the item it has saved me days of work and my remaining hair. It enabled me to find out I was running a UNIO but at 1/4 speed, hence why it wasn't working, due to a clock bug and find a software bug locking up an I2C bus. Well worth the purchase cost and excellent value for money. There is a 16 lead version available as well if you need more channels.
