What I would like to do is to put a clip on a 16-64 pin chip and see what is happening on each pin. Using a computer or dedicated Hardware and see what the voltages are, what the grounds are, the VCC, See the digital signal with the frequency. I know a Logic Analyzer can track the high and low but is there anything that provides this kind of detail? Thanks Uriah

What are your requirements for speed, precision and budget ? Is this for test and measurement purposes where you need to verify large amounts of parts, or for debugging a single one ?
Hi, Uriah. What's wrong with a 4-channel DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope) and a glompers clip on the IC?
I can't recall that I've ever needed to see more than four digital pins/channels in all their analog glory at one time. Actually, never more than two. And this would be your best reasonable cost solution.
Good luck Chris
