ScanaLogic2 from IKA Logic (distributed in the USA by Saelig) is a PC-based four-channel logic analyser and digital signal generator. It can generate digital signals and record responses on multiple channels with computer-independent performance at sampling rates up to 20 MSa/s and crystal-controlled timing accuracy.
ScanaLogic2 captures and analyses digital signals and enables users to sample, decode, display and analyse serial communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, 1-Wire, Maple bus, etc.). Support for additional protocols is regularly made available by free software updates. Built-in Fourier analysis (FFT) capability allows users to check the frequency spectrums of PWM signals while displaying them at the same time.
ScanaLogic2 can monitor logic levels on up to four digital signal lines, store the captured data in a file, or send the data over the Internet to other users. Images of signal timing plots, decoded data and markers can be captured, stored, and exported for report generation.
The dual view capability enables easy visual comparison of different data acquisitions. Recording and playing back serial data is as easy as recording audio. All four channels support signal generation and recording. In mixed mode, two channels can record while two channels are outputting a stored signal, and live scrolling supports refresh intervals of 50, 100 and 250 ms.
ScanaLogic2 provides a user-friendly syntax for signal generation that enables users to output digital data streams on four channels for tasks such as generating pulse-width modulated signals to control motors drivers, RGB LEDs or other devices, generating frequency modulated signals for testing speakers or ultrasound systems, or generating serial data and pulse trains for testing devices or equipment.ScanaLogic2 supports 1.8-V, 2.8-V, 3.3-V and 5-V logic levels and works with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 interfaces without any need for drivers. The memory size is 256 K samples for each of the four channels. Users can assign colours to individual channels to simplify interpretation and analysis. Parameters and configurations can be auto-saved.
