What do you use to capture and analyze the signals on the board? Without the appropriate tool, solving these kinds of problems can be very time consuming. For the above problems, a logic analyzer is ...
Logic analyzers specify the bandwidth of their front-end circuitry similar to oscilloscope front-ends. When deciding whether a logic analyzer has adequate performance for debugging a particular ...
Logic analysis is a common tool in FPGA development. If you use Altera, they have Signal Tap available that lets you build a simple logic analyzer into the FPGA that talks back to your PC.
Logic-state analyzers synchronously capture the state of the system to the clock, while logic-timing analyzers use an asynchronous (internal) clock to sample the system.
A key difference between logic analyzers and MSOs is that you can use an MSO simply as a scope, which is how one would use it most of the time (see the table).
Learning how to best use your analyzer is something that will come over time. See if there is a listserv either sponsored by the company that makes your analyzer or frequented by those who really ...
A logic analyzer differs from a normal oscilloscope in its ability to actually help you understand what the signals mean. There is a new logic analyzer on the block from Oscium and it is a joy to use.
People have been using a Pi Pico as a logic analyzer in a pinch, and now [pico-coder] has shared a sigrok driver that adds proper support for a Pico to beloved tools like Pulseview.
