SCANALOGIC2 (IKALogic) logic analyzer / signal generator

SCANALOGIC 2 PRO - PC based logic analyzer and signal generator

Scanalogic-2 PRO is a Logic Analyzer and Digital signal generator, specially designed to decode and analyze serial protocols like SPI, I2C, UART and CAN. Just plug it to a USB port to record,visualize and analyze signals via a free user friendly software.

It's one of the simplest devices to use, easily mastered by beginners and professionals. The PC software features all the scrolling and navigation options you would expect from any professional software. It introduces a new useful feature, that we called the mixed mode, allowing you to generate/playback digital signals, while recording the response on other channels, all at the same time! We have made a lot of efforts to keep this product affordable for most students and hobbyists.

The user interface is as intuitive as you would expect. Right-clicks here and there gives you the options you'd expect, like to add a marker, move it or delete it. Navigating through the chart area makes use of the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. You can even hold the CTRL key to zoom in and out faster! Left mouse button lets you pan the waveform right and left.

You can Capture and analyze signals!

Serial protocols sampling, decoding, debugging and analysis (like UART, SPI, CAN, LIN, I2C, 1-Wire, Manchester, maple bus...). Analysis of PWM signals, their frequencies and envelopes (Using the Fourier analysis feature). Monitor logic changes on digital signal lines. Store the captured data on files, to send them over the internet to other users or for later playback! Capture images of the signals with all the timings, decoded data and markers. Dual View features allows you can easily visually compare different data captures. Record serial data and play it back, as simply as you would record & playback a speech!

You can Generate your own data!

Generate PWM (pulse width modulation) signals to control motors drivers, RGB LEDs or other devices.
Generate FM (frequency modulation) signals. Can be used to test speakers or for ultrasound detection systems testing.
Generate Serial data and pulses sequences to test your equipment/project using a very user friendly syntax.

Example showing the usage of the "byte watch" feature, highlighting the bytes corresponding to the characters 'A', 'V' and 'R'. You can also notice that yet another colors profile is used.

With all these features, SCANALOGIC 2 will become an indispensable lab tool that you will cary everywhere! Download the software to try it now!

ScanaStudio 2.302 which introduces the Packet view and Hex view features.

Those new feature will allow you to look at the decoded data (like UART, CAN, SPI or I2C) signals in very user friendly way. Instead of having the decoded data superposed on the screen, now you can visualize the packets in beautiful, colored, intuitive and easy to read fashion.
