ScanaPLUS: 9-Channels, 100MHz Logic Analyzer
ScanaPLUS is a robust, versatile and multi-application 9 Channels logic analyzer.
It relies on the freeScanaStudiosoftware to capture and analyze logic signals.
This logic analyzer will capture signals at a rate of 100 MSPS (Million Samples Per Seconds) on all 9 channels.
Signals will then be compressed and streamed in real time to the host computer.
Thanks to its configurable and fully protected input stage, ScanaPLUS can be directly connected to RS232, to CAN or RS485 differential lines, or to tiny 1.2V logic signals!
Plus, a logic analyzer with 9 channels, will allow you to work with 8-bit buses, having a 9th channel left for a synchronization signal.
No need to worry about maximum capture time or transfer speed from device to computer.
ScanaPLUS relies on a proprietary FPGA based compression and streaming algorithm, which will capture signals for as long as your computer can take!

We have selected the finest probes for you
At Ikalogic, we are electronics engineers and we know how important it is to have good quality probes when attempting to debug a digital electronic circuit.
So we provide with each ScanaPLUS device 10 Ultra fine, USA made, E-Z hook probes. They are all color coded to match the cables and the software interface. This way, letting you see which channel is connected to what in a glance.
Integrated CAN, LIN, RS232 and RS485 receivers
With ScanaPLUS logic analyzer, you dont need to worry about converting differential signals to TTL signals. It has got 2 differential bus receivers ready to sniff any CAN or RS485 communication.
Additionally, it can be connected to 5 x RS232 or LIN lines. Thanks to the broad input range, more protocol and signaling levels can be added via software updates.

ScanaPLUS adapts to your logic signal levels
ScanaPLUS will allow you to capture logic transition whose logic levels are as low as 1.2v and all the way up to 5V logic levels.
While configuring the exact threshold voltage is not critical for most application, it will give you much better accuracy when measuring high frequencysignals (above 1MHz).
Do you need to capture 1.8 v signals on some pins, while capturing 5V signals on others?
No problem, with ScanaPLUS you can define 2 different logic thresholds for two groups of inputs!
Activity indicator LED
This is how the ScanaPLUS can save you a great deal of time.
If you ever see flat lines on the screen instead of the signals you are expecting,
you may wonder if the problem is with your source code, or the trigger configuration.
Sometimes you are just wondering: is there any activity on the lines at all?
The ScanaPLUS software independent activity LED will answer your questions by blinking whenever any activity is detected on the logic analyzer lines.

Typical applications
- Analysis and debugging of digital electronics circuits
- Serial protocol decoding andanalysis(UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, 1-WIRE, LIN, Manchester,)
- Capturing signals over RS485 and CAN bus differential lines directly
- Capturing signals over LIN and RS232 data lines
- Capturing of high frequency / low voltage digital signals (down to 1.2V)
- Working risk-free where 12V and 24V lines are present.
- Decoding and debugging ofcustom/proprietary protocols
- Capturing of long data sequences (tested up to 10 minutes)
- Precise frequency and timing measurements
- Analysis of 8 bit data busses
ScanaPLUS Compared to other devices
Wondering how ScanaPLUS compares to other Logic Anlaysers already in the market?
- WithScanaPLUS, you can directly connect to many types of industrial & automobile buses (RS485, CAN, LIN, RS232). No other logic analyzer we are aware of has this much flexibility when it comes to its inputs configuration.
- Most (if not all) logic analyzer devices that stream data over the USB suffers from USB bandwidth limitations which is somewhere around 20MB/s. ScanaPLUS is much more immune to that. We have worked for more than a year to develop a compression algorithm that will compress and stream the sampled signals over USB. ScanaPLUS only takes about 2 or 3 Mbytes of USB bandwidth in normal usage.
- Many competitors logic analyzer devices will allow you to set the logic threshold on all channels. ScanaPLUS allow you to configure two different logic thresholds on two different channels. If you want optimal precision over different signal voltages, ScanaPLUS is your choice.
- ScanaPLUS relies on ScanaStudio V2.0 (and above). Thats by far one of the most fluid, intuitive and lag free logic analyzer software you will find around. Using your logic analyzer with such a smooth software is a real productivity booster.
- The activity led on the housing that will blink when there is logic change on any channel is real time saver.
