Were that true.

I just looked at that $500 toy and the difference between it and a  
"real" logic analyzer  - 8K memory depth is laughable. I saw another  
one that was about the same price and it only had 2K memory depth.

When you blow your memory memory budget too quickly after the trigger,  
the difference between a $500 tool and a $20K tool is indeed real. It  
means the difference between having information and having nothing.

We were trying to do some debugging on an IDE to FPGA communications  
project and someone tried to push a toy they found on EBAY with 1K of  
memory depth. That went nowhere (all it took was a little math to show  
them why it wouldn't work).

Cheers,

Lloyd
