I fully agree with Jean-Yves, 8 channels is definitively not enough for a
logic analyzer. Put it this way : If you need only 8 channels then very
probably a decent 4-channels scope will be enough, and you will use such
scope far more often than your logic analyzer. However if you have a REAL
problem that actually needs a logic analyzer then you will need at leat
20-30 channels. Just thinking at the tasks for which we have switched on
our
TLA704 in the past 2 or 3 years we always used more than 8 channels. Even
for the last use (debugging of a GPIB interface) we needed 8 channels for
data plus 8 channels of control lines.
Cheers,
