About:
Logic Sniffer is a Java-based client application designed to interface with the Open Bench Logic Sniffer, an open-source USB logic analyzer. It provides a robust platform for capturing, visualizing, and analyzing digital signals in real-time. This tool is essential for debugging complex hardware interactions and reverse engineering digital protocols.
Key Features:
  • Real-time signal capture and visualization
  • Support for multiple trigger modes and protocols
  • Cross-platform compatibility via Java
  • Advanced data analysis and measurement tools
Use Cases:
  • Debugging microcontroller communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART)
  • Reverse engineering proprietary digital hardware interfaces
  • Verifying timing relationships in digital circuit designs
Alternatives:
  • PulseView – Part of the sigrok suite; supports a wider range of hardware but has a different UI philosophy.
  • Saleae Logic – Proprietary software for Saleae hardware; offers a polished user experience but requires specific hardware.
