A logic analyzer is a tool very similar to an emulator in application.
If you have one it will sit under the bench and never get used. If you
don't have one, every problem that you have will require the use of a
logic analyzer to diagnose.

My most common application for a LA is to trigger a scope. The
TDS-210 is a bit limited in the triggering department so you may
find it makes that tool a bit more useful. The statement above still
holds though.
