 Anyway, I hooked the logic analyzer up to B11 Pins 13 thru 6, which leaves off pins 5 and 4, which means you lose the last two bits of accuracy. I'm not sure if it is important at this point or not. That means the last two bits are always considered 0. The Saleae Logic software is pretty cool. You end up getting data that looks like this:\\ Anyway, I hooked the logic analyzer up to B11 Pins 13 thru 6, which leaves off pins 5 and 4, which means you lose the last two bits of accuracy.

 +Well thats interesting but not really visually useful is it? If you take a vertical slice at any point in that output and assign each channel a 0 or 1 you will get the binary representation just like above. I've compiled the output for each slice (all 336,000 of them) and uploaded them here: {{:project:130316_b11_saleae_logic_export.zip|}}\\

 +Now that I have 336,000 height values (Y-Axis 0-1023) I was able to compile this charge with gnuplot:\\

 +Well HMM that looks a little bit like the horizontal output for the test pattern! Don't quite see it? Heres a labeled version:\\
