USB PC-Based Logic Analyzer

[aman]

I was looking at some PC-Based Logic Analyzers. I came across this
one:

http://www.pctestinstruments.com/

Has anybody of you used it before. My requirement is fairly simple. I
have a 8-bit/16-Bit microcontroller at 12MHz. This one samples at 500
MHz. It has 34 channel. Seems a pretty good deal.

Any idea how good it works ?

I've not had direct experience with this product but, on a broader
scale, I've never been fond of the idea that the PC is an Answer to
Everything on the test bench.

My advice would be to spend your $$ on a nice used commercial
logic analyzer. The Tektronix 1240 series instruments are pretty nice,
and I'm sure there are plenty of others Out There.

Whatever you get, be sure it has the pods and leads with it. Few
things on this planet are more useless than a logic analyzer without
such.

Happy hunting.
