NanoDLA Logic Analyzer 24MHz 8-Channel Open Source PulseView

NanoDLA Logic Analyzer — 24MHz, 8-Channel, Fully Open Source

The NanoDLA Logic Analyzer is a compact, fully open-source debugging tool designed for electronics engineers, hobbyists, and embedded systems developers. With a maximum sampling rate of 24 MHz across 8 simultaneous channels, it delivers the performance needed for everyday MCU, ARM, and FPGA development work — all in an elegantly slim form factor.

Powered by the open-source sigrok / PulseView ecosystem, NanoDLA supports parsing of over 100 protocols out of the box. Unlike many competing devices that rely on legally questionable cracked software, NanoDLA uses 100% free and open-source tooling — giving you confidence, flexibility, and a thriving community behind your workflow.

Made in Mainland China.

Key Features

• 24 MHz Maximum Sampling Rate — capable of accurately capturing signals up to ~5 MHz (10× oversampling recommended for best signal reconstruction)
• 8 Simultaneous Sampling Channels — monitor multiple lines at once for complex multi-component timing analysis
• 100+ Protocol Decoders — I²C, SPI, UART, I²S, CAN, USB, and many more via PulseView
• Cross-Platform Support — works on Windows (7/10/11), Linux, and macOS
• Fully Open Source — hardware schematics, firmware source code, and upper-computer software all freely available
• Wide Input Voltage Range — accepts −0.5 V to 5.25 V; low level: −0.5 V to 0.8 V; high level: 2 V to 5.25 V
• Compact Design — measures just 71.5 mm × 23.6 mm × 14.2 mm; easy to take anywhere
• USB Connectivity — plug-and-play via USB; sampling performance may vary based on host OS, USB controller, and driver

Specifications

Important Notes

• The 24 MHz maximum sampling rate enables accurate capture of signals up to approximately 5 MHz. For best waveform fidelity, a 10× oversampling rate is recommended.
• Achieving the full 24 MHz rate depends on your operating system, USB controller quality, USB bus load, and driver version. Linux typically achieves the full rate; most Windows 7/10 systems do as well.
• Color may vary slightly from product images due to display differences. Allow ±1–10 mm for manual measurement tolerances.

What's in the Box

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What protocols does the NanoDLA Logic Analyzer support?

A: The NanoDLA Logic Analyzer supports over 100 protocol decoders through the open-source PulseView (sigrok) software, including popular protocols such as I²C, SPI, UART, I²S, CAN, USB, 1-Wire, and many more. This makes it highly versatile for MCU, ARM, and FPGA debugging tasks.

Q: Is the NanoDLA Logic Analyzer compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux?

A: Yes. The NanoDLA Logic Analyzer works on Windows (7, 10, 11), Linux, and macOS through the free, open-source PulseView application. Linux typically achieves the full 24 MHz sampling rate; most modern Windows systems do as well, depending on USB hardware and drivers.

Q: What makes NanoDLA different from other logic analyzers?

A: NanoDLA is fully open source at every level — hardware schematics, firmware source code, and the host computer software are all openly available. Many competing analyzers rely on unlicensed cracked software, which carries legal risks. NanoDLA uses the legitimate sigrok/PulseView open-source ecosystem, offering rich functionality, active community support, and peace of mind.

Q: What is the maximum signal frequency the NanoDLA can reliably capture?

A: With a maximum sampling rate of 24 MHz, the NanoDLA can reliably capture signals up to approximately 5 MHz. This is because accurate digital reconstruction requires a sampling rate at least 5× higher than the signal frequency; a 10× rate (e.g., 24 MHz sampling for ~2.4 MHz signals) is recommended for the cleanest waveform representation.
