Agreed. I don't think I've had an instance when the problem couldn't
be solved or identified using for example one slow overall capture at
low resolution to see a general pattern and then captures of smaller
specific regions or events at higher resolution

Note my occassional gif attachments of analyser outputs

I've built 2 analysers, both based on relatively slow micros - a 68HC
and a 16F84A-10. The micro does not do the capturing. It manages
the circuit, which is basically a variable PLL, TTL clocks/latches and
ex-mobo fast cache RAM (2 x 8k)
