>Scope with 8-bit resolution is a logic analyzer with delusions of grandeur. The scope of this article/project (pardon the pun!) -- was to make a an actual scope -- that is, an oscilloscope and an oscilloscope only(!) NOT a full blown logic analyzer! A logic analyzer, for those who do not know what the difference is, is sort of a "deluxe" scope, with additional high end "luxury" and extended features and capabilities that are typically limited or not available on a simple oscilloscope... You have oscilloscopes on the one hand, logic analyzers on the other... Just like you have Volkswagen Beetles on the one hand, Ferraris on the other. Or, Priuses on the one hand, and Teslas on the other... Bicycles and other simple transportation devices on the one hand, Cars, Trains, Planes and other much more elaborate transportation devices -- on the other... So yes, I agree with the generalized statement: "Scope with 8-bit resolution is a logic analyzer with delusions of grandeur." But we are NOT trying to build a full-blown, full-featured costly and expensive logic analyzer here... No, we are only simply trying to build a simple oscilloscope... Now, don't get me wrong, your comments are certainly valuable, and all of them are apropos for the building and construction of high-end logic analyzers... And, I'm sure that anyone who would design a logic analyzer or put themselves to designing one now or in the future -- would greatly appreciate them! But (and I'm sure you'll pardon the pun!) -- a full-blown logic analyzer -- is a little bit out of the -- scope -- (the oscilloscope that is!) -- of this project! <g> :-) <g>
