Introduction

The alternative OLS-client provides a software client for the Open Bench Logic Sniffer logic analyser hardware.

The Open Bench Logic Sniffer is the result of a collaboration between Gadget Factory and Dangerous Prototypes. They created a cheap custom implementation of the SUMP analyzer developed by Michael Poppitz, and released it as Open Source project.
The original SUMP analyzer already provided a workable client on its own. While this client was feature complete and working quite well, it was no longer actively developed and maintained. Being a developer and loving Open Source, I immediately started hacking and tweaking it. The result? An alternative OLS client.

What other people say about...

I had to rock some intense LAing today, and I just wanted to say that the latest version is fantastic! I've completely abandoned the old version for yours, and moved it to the top of the wiki software list :) It's a joy to use and it doesn't feel like Java. In my opinion this is nicer and richer than the Saleae client (I use the Saleae a lot too).
Great work! Thank you so much! — Ian (Dangerous Prototypes)

It keeps getting better and better! I've officially started using your client exclusively, I just spent the last couple days troubleshooting some SPI output from the AVR8 Soft Processor core project and your client didn't miss a beat — Jack Gasset (Gadget Factory)
