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

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
