Are they paying you for this job ?
$30k is plenty enough for any serious 32 bit logic analyser. For an
ARM9, 1Gsps is more than enough. For the faster FPGA on the market
must be a better one.
There is one logic analyser with 18bit&1Gsps via USB2.0 at about $500.
A good engineer could solve a lot of problems with that cheap one.
