Nov 5, 2011 at 10:22 comment added bdutta74 Logic-Analyzers seem to be available from around less than 10MHz to around several hundred MHz, and expected priced pretty much as a factor of speed and no. of channels. Given my kind of work/hobby profile, what might be the least-expensive but reasonably-useful investment ? I understand that it may not be a very fair question.
Nov 5, 2011 at 10:19 comment added bdutta74 thanks. Well, give a budget of about $500, I think my options are pretty limited with DSO. 50MHz dual-channel with 1GS/s shared over the 2-channels is what I've seen. The kind of 315/433MHz comm investigation I am interested in is Manchester or NRZ encoded at max.9600bps. My impression was that I would be able to detect, to a fairly reasonable extent the waveforms to determine the high/low/transition timings. Is that a reasonable expectation ?
