I would like to know which logic analyzers others are using in the industry. What make and model logic analyzer do you use and what are your likes / dislikes about it? Is anyone using an analyzer not made by Agilent or Tektronix, and are you happy with it? I am specifically looking at stand alone (or host PC based) type analyzers and not the type that are cores like Xilinx's ChipScope (I am fully aware of the benefits that ChipScope provides). Some of the other features that I am looking at are timing / state analysis, complex triggering (on patterns, etc), LVPECL and TTL levels, clock rates of 200MHz, high memory depth (128K or more), portability, user friendly GUI, data export capabilities, etc. Is there equipment (manufacturer) that I need to avoid? Thanks for your help! Thom

Ditto the somewhat less expensive stuff at www.rockylogic.com, to which I contributed the design errors ;-)

You guys keep saying soon.
