content: Yup, was discussed here some time ago. Several times I guess.It's a decent LA which just lacks advanced triggering options. Best thing about it is that is can be patched to a 16128 by updating some values in the EEPROM (or by patching a Dll).

content: Quote from: 0xdeadbeef on March 18, 2013, 09:51:52 pmNot all of them can, it depends on what manufacturing batch unit you happen to get. It's been a while since I opened mine, but IIRC it only had enough sample memory to become a 16064.There's also the hack to add 16 more channels, which I have to try some day.

content: The hack with the additional channels worked in 2011 or so. Nobody got it to work after that AFAIK. Patching to 16128 still worked for people in early 2013 (got a positive report in my message box from late January 2013). There's no guarantee of course that the 4.5MBit SRAM is placed even in brand new units. Worth a try though.

content: Greetings,I will try to do that but I have some issues about the selection of the 72Mbit memory.I received my 16032 from microcontrollershop (US$110.00) with the chip version 0924 and 250ACX 4.5Mbit memory (CY7C1347G-250AXC). I can't find any TQFP-100 250MHz 72Mbit in the cypress website, the "most" suitable memory i found is a 200MHz (CY7C1480V33-200AXC or CY7C1480BV33-200AXC)Does anyone try to mod the 16032 to the 322000?Which memory part was used?Thanks in advance

content: Hello,I tryed this mod today but it looks like i'm having trouble. I had a zeroplus 16032 (16chn, 32k) and i tryed to change the SRAM from a 4.5MBIT - 128k x36 (CY7C1347G-250AXC) to a 18MBIT - 512k x36 (CY7C1380D-250AXC)I unsoldering the SRAM and soldering the new one and everything went without any trouble, then i patched the epprom, again everything went good, then when i load the software it detects the new device LAP16128 correctly.The problem now is when i try to aquire data each time it does thisWhen i unpatched the epprom and load the backup, it then detects LAP16032 but still same thing it wont aquire data correctlyWhen you change the SRAM do you have to do something special ? I want to turn my LAP16032 to a LAP16128

content: Hi,i have not done anything special after the sram change.But the main question is: why have you changed the sram from 4.5 Mbit to 18Mbit?For the LAP-C(162000) you need 72Mbit and for the LAP-C(16128) 4.5Mbit.You can make the LAP16032 to a LAP16128 without sram change(only a eeprom mod is needed).http://openschemes.com/2010/03/27/zeroplus-logic-cube-the-modification/

I though you needed 4x the size of the sram in the LAP 16032 to convert it to LAP 16128, that's why i changed it to 18MBIT (4x 4.5MBIT). I thought you could just update the sram and then you can aquire more data per chn.Now i understand how it works... Is it possible to fully use the 18MBIT SRAM i soldered to aquire more data then 128K per chn ?

About the free protocol decoders, the general order of events must be, I change the SRAM, solder the four missing connections from the ASIC, patch the EEPROM, then last of all register for my free decoders, yes ?. Isn't the Zeroplus website clued up to the fact your serial number and model number no longer match ?. Has anyone performed this mod and then installed the "Protocol Analyzer Trigger plugin". Are the protocols just a serial number you enter into the software, or are they a downloaded dll as well ?. Has anyone done a keygen for the protocols ?Thanks.Cam

content: Quote from: jusanother on September 02, 2013, 12:16:59 amThe activation is bound to serial number and device ID. So you need to register the decoders for the patched device, not the original one.Quote from: jusanother on September 02, 2013, 12:16:59 amAt least when I tried (like two years ago), they didn't care, although it's indeed quite obvious that the ID and the serial don't really match.Quote from: jusanother on September 02, 2013, 12:16:59 amI don't think this is part of the selectable free decoders. Also I understand it's not really a hardware trigger but more a software implementation (i.e. the analyzers captures, the SW decodes until it finds the trigger and then stops and displays the result).Quote from: jusanother on September 02, 2013, 12:16:59 amSome decoders come with the software, but most of them have to be downloaded from the (painfully slow) website.The whole protocol download/upgrade/installation issue is a real mess. Including some very large Chinese help files in CHM format.Quote from: jusanother on September 02, 2013, 12:16:59 amWith 30 free decoders plus the one included (note that patching to e.g. C32128 brings some extra free protocols), I dind't really find the need for a keygen.

content: Thanks for the reply, all points noted. The reason for wondering about the keygen was to protect against the website activation getting wise to the hacks.My primary reason for fancying this LA was the protocol trigger option, now I see that is might not be what I first thought it to be. Although why I ever thought they would be doing hardware decoding of 30+ protocols is beyond me, blind hope I guess. I read your other comments on the matter in the "PC USB Logic Analyzer - Who Has The Best Software" thread, you didn't sound overly impressed with the feature.Have you or anyone used the protocol trigger feature ?Cam.

timestamp: September 04, 2013, 05:40:01 pm
content: To allow triggering on specific protocol patterns, the decoder doesn't have to be necessarily implemented in hardware. It would be enough for the software to calculate a (complex) trigger pattern (merely based on edges and may times) from the protocol trigger. But then the logic analyzer needs support for complex trigger patterns with plenty of trigger levels and so on.As the Zeroplus features only the simplest of trigger possibilities, I don't see any possibility to actually perform a HW trigger on decoder patterns. If the pattern happens all the time, a SW trigger will work just as well though. If you need to be sure that you catch a single pattern for sure, you're screwed of course without HW trigger.

What RAM IC should I buy?Do I need to patch the EEPROM or I can “simply” modify the DLL? if so, how Am I supposed to do that? What about the clock speed? 16032 is 100MHz device, 16128 or 16200 is 200Mhz device..Does the EEPROM hack increase the clock speed too?Thanks Stefano

content: I'm not so sure if anybody ever upgraded from a C16032 to anything above a C32128 but even this was some years ago. When I bought my C16032 in 2011 or so, it could be hacked to a C16128 without any HW modification, but even back then, the upgrade to 32 channels didn't seem to work anymore (different ASIC as far as I recall). Later versions came with smaller SRAM and cut pins, so you needed to replace the SRAM and reconnect the cut pins even to upgrade from C16032 to C16128.My (patched) C16032 works perfectly fine with sample rates up to 200MHz though. The patching however only affected the available RAM (128K instead of 32K).128K should be sufficient for most purposes btw. Honestly, most of the times I use my Open Logic Sniffer which has only 24K samples in 8bit mode, but usually I use 16 channels with only 12K samples - not because I need the channels, but because this usually improves the RLE quite a bit.

content: I bought a C16032 some weeks ago. I have the new ASIC. The unit was upgradable to a C16128 only with modifing the eeprom content (with zeroprog or zerominus). It works beautiful.With adding an additonal input buffer and some passives it was possible to convert it to a C32128. You only must cut the traces at the bottom of the PCB which shorts the ASIC inputs.When you want to have an C322000 (or 162000, but you only need components for some dollars for the conversion to 32 channel, so i doesn't matter), you must replace the SRAM (Digikey part 428-3253-ND, really expensive! nearly 150€ for me, more than the analyzer itself) and solder the 4 cutted pins from the ASIC down to the board. I used a file to do the same like 'lux' in this thread. But it is not to easy to replace SRAM because of the lead-less solder.So I have a fully working C322000. It is only important to register the analyzer at zerominus after the modifiction. Elsewhere you are not able to use the protocol plugins. So you have also the additional free plugins for the C322000.

content: Hi,thank you very much for your quick answers.I think I'm going to buy the LAP-C 16032 and try the EEPROM upgrade only. I Really do not need more than 16 channel, however I can use a little bit of extra memoryNow I'm going to ask a "stupid" question, so please forgive meIf I understand correctly, the LAP-C 16032 (or 16128) is capable of sampling signals on a bus and stores the captured samples in the buffer (the storage space should be the channel depth... is it right?). What I do not understand is how many samples can be stored.I think it is depends from the bus data (it should store only state changes in the bus signal and not all samples...is it right?).I 'm going to work with SPI (12MHz bus speed)and I2C, how many seconds of data can be captured? (this is the stupid question)The logic sniffer is quite interesting, and I like it because I can use it on Linux too, however I'm afraid it has not enough RAM. I saw on you tube you can store 2sec max of data.Why do you prefer the Logic Sniffer to the LAPC?ThanksStefano

content: 128k means 128000 samples (usually an 8bit analyzer stores one byte at once, for 16bit it's one word and so on). Without compression this would mean that e.g. at 10MHz you can store for 128000/10000000 = 0.0128 seconds (or 12.8ms). To store a 12MHz SPI (which seems rather high btw.), you should use at least 25MHz, better 50 or 100MHz. So with 100MHz this time is reduced to 1.27ms.Then again, with compression, the time that can be stored depends on the signals and the compression strategy. Usually the strategy is a rather simple run length encoding, so if all signals (e.g. all 8 or 16 channels) stay the same during N successive sample cycles, they can be stored as number N plus sample instead of N samples. So with sporadic signals, the recording time can be much higher.

content: The OLS has much better trigger possibilities, although I must admit I almost never need them (LPC can only trigger on simple edges/patterns).However, the real reason why I use it more is mainly that it doesn't need a SW installation and it's very small, so it's convenient to always have it in my bag.So I use it even at work where I could also use a ~10k€ Agilent Logic Analyzer (noisy, no decoder plugins).For the LPC you's need to install a big SW package plus dozens of single protocols where each protocol dumps a large Chinese pdf in the installation folder.

content: Quote from: 0xdeadbeef on November 18, 2013, 11:45:38 amFor the LAP-C's, ZeroPlus indicates that runs of up to 256 dup samples can be compressed. Thus a 1-byte count for each sample slice. This would come in very handy when capturing comms traces, because the relatively "dead time" between packets would be factored out, leaving just the meaty data burning up sample slots.What I don't quite understand is that the memory on these internally is 36-bits wide. That suggests only 4-bits would be available for repeat counts when running 32-bit wide sampling, but 20-bits for counts with just 16-bit samples. However, nothing to that effect is mentioned by ZeroPlus.Ah, they do give this stipulation... "Data Compression : Max 128K bits x 256, Available 24CH". Thus when capturing the full 32-channel width, the compression is much more limited (or unavailable completely?).

content: I got my Zeroplus LAP-C16032 in October 2014.I sucessfully upgraded it to a 32128 (sw yet only) without any problem last month.Before I did a backup of the EEPROM and found the "zeroprog" does not (yet) support EEPROM restore, thus I added that feature.I also "repaired" the cutted pins of the ASIC. The mounting of the missing parts (latch, Rs, Cs) is postponed until there is some more free time, I do not need the 32 channels yet.I also registered on the web-site to get the keys for the free protocols. Registration was accepted, but I never received the keys by mail (it may, because my tool is older than 90 days.Is there another method to register (get the keys) I am not aware of?If not, I need to know the format of the registration keys.Thus may anyone send me (by PM if do not want to open) a valid register-key for the protocol analyzer and for 1 or 2 of plug-ins.I know, it want work with different models and/or different serial numbers.I just need a samples for the format.Just a tip which may be of interest for others:My PC in my lab has no internet-connection (security) and LAP-C claims that at every start by seaching for updates.I deactivated that feature (which cant be disabled in the SW).Simply rename the "update.exe" file in the LAP-C sw directory. I named it "x_update.exe".Any help out there?

content: The keys have the format AAAAAAAA-BBBBBBBB-CCCCCCCC-DDDDDDDD where each part is an 8 character hex number presentation of a 32bit number.The keys are stored in the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ZEROPLUS-PLUGIN".Can't tell more since I moved to ScanaPlus long ago and I had not even registered more than a few of my 30 protocols. Then again, in later versions of the tool, most basic decoders where free anyway.

content: Where can I buy a brand new LAP-C 16032 for the best possible price?Is it still possible to convert the latest LAP-C 16032 model into a LAP-C 322000?How much would it cost in parts to do the upgrade? How much does the LAP-C 322000 typically cost?This way I can get an idea on how much I would save.Is there a nice PDF file out somewhere with good pictures and detailed description for each step in the update procedure?Do some people on this forum provide the upgrade as a service? How much do you charge?Or are there Chinese clones available for the LAP-C 322000 which are 100% compatible, both hardware wise and software wise?

content: The first problem is to update now comes with 4 cut into chip zp322 pins. And that is too much trouble.The first problem is to update now comes with 4 cut into chip zp322 pins. And that is too much trouble. Otherwise all the same.

Tried to just re-install the driver but it failed, so had to uninstall everything to get it working.

content: I read a lot of questions about the the software: how to get afull software packagewith advanced protocol triggering, most of the protocols ... . First of all, if you can pay the software just do it. It takes allot of afford to make such a product and zeroplus did a really good job, you pay for a really good product. But if you are a student (like I am) and just don't have the money, there is an easy solution for this. Zeroplus sold a time a go a "special" edition off their usb logic analysers, the plus edition. This plus edition has the same hardware as the normal/standard analysers, only it comes with all the software. Or better said it enables all the futures of the software.This analyser doesn't use the standard edition software but uses the smart+ version. This version has a newer interface look and supports not only the plus edition but also the normal one (standard). So if you want a newer ( personally think easier and nicer ) interface. You can download thesmart+ editionfrom their website. Just google "zeroplus download" and you will find the download page (leave the 'series' selection on 'all').You canchangetheLAP-C 16032 to a LAP-C 16128+just by using the zeroprog tool already mentioned in previous discussions and change thePID to 0x7025

content: If you just need all the protocols enabled (over 100), there is no need to do any hacking... Zeroplus released all the protocols for free by the end of 2016. Just download the latest version of the software. If you want the Protocol Trigger option, then you will need to pay for it or use the hack posted by StevenBoeckx.

content: I know this is 2 years old -- I have the Saelig LAD-16128U, a rebranded zeroplus. I can't get it to work w/ Win10 since it has a slightly modified USB PID of 7070. I added the PID to the inf file but then it fails the integrity check, have to undo secure boot, etc. Was thinking it might be easier to crack it open and change the eeprom to make it look like the zeroplus. Any thoughts?

content: Hi,I believe changing EEPROM was the only way back in 2016 when I "upgraded" my saleae clone (https://hobbycomponents.com/newproducts/673-hobby-components-usb-8ch-24mhz-logic-analyser-bundle).It was just changing the values in the eeprom to get the correct USB VID/PID (from 1D50-608C to saleae's 0925-3881).If you can read/write EEPROM (I have 93LC46B in my Zeroplus LAP-C 16032) then this could be the easiest way (don't forget to make a backup .hex)I used MiniPro programmer.
