Debugging state machines can be challenging, especially when you're trying to understand complex state transitions in real-time hardware. We're pleased to announce significant enhancements to ScanaStudio's State Machine decoder, making it easier than ever to visualize and analyze state machine behavior captured with your logic analyzer.

We're excited to announce the release of a new ADC decoder script for ScanaStudio, designed to simplify the analysis of parallel ADC data captured with your logic analyzer. Whether you're debugging analog signal acquisition systems, verifying ADC performance, or analyzing I/Q data streams, this new decoder provides the flexibility and visualization tools you need.

Debugging electronics can be a bit of a puzzle, but the SP259i logic analyzer is here to make the process smoother. In this article, we’ll walk through how to use the SP259i to analyze RS485 systems like a pro.

Introduction​

In the world of semiconductor testing, Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) is often associated with high performance—and high costs (ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars). For DFT (Design for Test) and QA engineers seeking a much more affordable yet capable solution, the SP1018G from the SP1000G Series offers an innovative alternative. With advanced pattern generation capabilities and scripting flexibility, the SP1018G provides a streamlined approach to testing and verification without the hefty price tag of traditional ATE systems.

We're happy to announce the release of an update for SP259 and SP259i Logic Analyzer firmware. This update can be applied to any existing device: you simply need to update ScanaStudio Software to its latest version. In this post, we'll dive into the specifics of that update and the challenges behind it.
