Our Computer Science department is considering purchase of
a logic analyzer.
What do you folks have to say about?
	What is your experience with particular analyzers?
	What applications have you used or seen them used for?
	What are good and bad features of particular units?
	What features are necessary, trivial, overkill, redundant,
 		really super, convenient?
	What applications, and necessary capability, could you 
   		envision for a large Computer Science Dept., that
		is other than troubleshooting department equipment?
	What analyzers allow for expansion, either in existing 
		capability, or more powerful interaction systems.
	What are people's (and/or users') feelings on value
		of an analyzer?  That is, is this thing really
		worth 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 100K?  Are certain 
		analyzers overpriced in some areas, or is
		what you are getting to start with worth anything
		withouth investing once or twice that again?
		Is the modular approach good in some circumstances?
	And to sum it up about money we are looking for something
		10K or under.
	Our primary usage is not development, but there are or will
		be people involved in hardware in the department
		who could use some kind of capability in that
		area.
We are going to act soon on this so please respond quickly if you can.

My net address would be the same, I think as other UI dcs people.
Who knows it out there?
