Hi all,

I was recently debugging a problem and realized that if I had a logic
analyzer I could have moved a bit quicker. As such I'm now looking to
get one!

My requirements are:
1. Not too expensive (Around $300 would be ideal but I realize I might
have to go higher)
2. Probes and clips included (or available for a reasonable charge)
3. Software must support decoding of RS232 and potentially I2C and SPI

I've been looking at 3 main companies so far. The USBee
(http://www.usbee.com) offerings seem pretty expensive at the moment.
I'd have to spend at least $745 to get something that decoded RS232.
The Ant series seem interesting (http://www.rockylogic.com/) but I
can't seem to find a way to do RS232 interpretation. Am I just missing
something there? Finally I've been looking at the Intronix Logicport
(http://www.pctestinstruments.com/) which seems to do what I need but
is a bit of overkill as I don't really need 34 channels of input. I
would have to buy clips separately, but as I don't need 34 channels at
the moment I wouldn't have to buy that many clips right away.

So...have I missed any interesting options? Anyone want to sell an
Agilent mixed signal scope/analyzer for much less than it's worth?

Thanks!

Josh
