If you’re an engineer debugging a micro controller project, a hobbyist struggling with an I2C sensor, or an automobile expert trying to analyze CAN bus data frames, ScanaQuad is the product your need.
The only Logic Analyzer able to capture, modify and playback bus data
Made for software engineers with sufficient performance, optimized for use with development boards like Raspberry PI and a user interface that feels familiar for software developers. That's the new SmartScope from Labnation.
A small USB-powered instrument with oscillscope, logic analyzer and signal generator that is connected to the smart phone, tablet, or computer, and costs around 200€.
"We saw the need for three years ago, software developers know what they want to see, but do not know how to use an oscilloscope, says Riemer Grootjans as technology manager at Belgian Labnation."

In practice?
We’ve now come to the stage where we connect the device and start using it in earnest. The PC version of the software was tried out first, and it took a while to get used to it.
To start with, we regularly found ourselves looking up instructions from the Help, or tried to discover where a particular function was. It will take some time before you’ll be able to operate the software like a pro. However, with the tablet versions things progressed much more quickly. You’ll soon find out that the program was developed for use with a touchscreen. In this case, it took only several minutes to find out how to operate it, and it was also much easier to try things out.

How about the Soft(ware) stuff?
One of the most important goals that the developers had in mind was that the software should run under almost any operating system, with an identical user interface. This is something they’ve certainly accomplished. As far as we know, this is the only scope that works on virtually all operating systems:
- Windows 7/8
- Linux
- OS X
- iOS
- Android 4.0+

How to Collect Data and Device Settings with Saleae Logic/Protocol Analyzers
Demo Mode
When no Logic device is connected, the software will work in a demo mode - which is virtually identical to how it will function when a device is connected. This way you can become familiar with the software before your Logic device arrives.
Watch this short tutorial video and learn how to setup the USBee SX test pod to trigger on data patterns.
The USBee SX Test Pod is a HUGE sample buffer PC and USB based multifunction logic analyzer and digital signal generator in a single compact and easy to use device and includes a powerful bus decoder that shows ASYNC, I2C, SPI, 1-Wire, USB, CAN, I2S, SMBus, Sync Serial, PS/2 and even your own Custom Serial Bus data. It is the ideal bench tool for engineers, hobbyists and students.
