Case Studies of Logic Analyzers in Embedded System Development and Testing

Logic Analyzers are sometimes called as Logic Probes, Digital Analyzers, Digital Logic Analyzers, Logic Testers, Signal Analyzers, Digital Signal Analyzers, Pattern Generators, Digital Pattern Analyzers.

Here are some practical examples of using Logic Analyzers in Embedded system development and testing:

A company in New York used a logic analyzer to debug a problem with their embedded system. The system was crashing after a certain number of operations, and the logic analyzer was used to trace the signal activity leading up to the crash. This helped the company to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it.

A university in Boston used a logic analyzer to study the performance of an embedded system. The system was a sensor network that was used to monitor the environment. The logic analyzer was used to measure the latency and throughput of the network, and this information was used to improve the design of the network.

An automotive company in Michigan used a logic analyzer to test the safety features of their vehicles. The logic analyzer was used to capture the signal activity of the safety systems during a crash test.
