Hi

I'm considering to purchase a pc based logic analyzer. After a bit of
shopping around I narrowed down my options to either the Logicport
from Intronix or the Annie-USB from Janatek, maybe even their Logic-16
as well.

Before I make the final decision, is there anyone of you that owns any
of these instruments?
The obvious reason for the logicport is the fact that it costs only U
$389 for 32 channels and 500Mhz sampling rate. I have however read
this little faq article on janatek's website on how to
evaluate(compare) between various logic analyzers and I'm having
doubts of buying a logicport. The Annie-USB although a tad more
expensive seems to be a really good quality instrument. Any of you
having thoughts on this.

Luckily the need is not pressing so I have a couple of days.

Most of these PC based instruments are very poor to start with, after
a few years they become unsupported and if you break them in the bin
they go. You would do much better looking on ebay for an Agilent or
Tek instrument for less money.

It's faster and cheaper to analyze your logic before you build it.

Statements like these make me wonder if I should give Modelsim a
try... Still, the thought of having to create a testbench doesn't
appeal to me. Especially for a design that has a massive amount of
configuration registers. Anyway, it all boils down to verifying your
design one way or another.
