Logic analyzers, oscilloscopes---I know the drill but I no longer have 
easy access to such instrumentation.

Has anyone come up with simple (e.g., inexpensive) ways to measure 
latencies in the range we are interested in - say a range of 1K - 100K 
pulses per second with pulse widths on the order of microseconds.

Back when the world was young and we wannabe researchers avidly read 
from cover to cover in each new data-book from the likes of TI and 
Motorola, I used to design and build comparable circuits, but then I had 
the bench instrumentation to test my testers, so to speak. Now I'm in a 
catch-22 situation.

If I could turn back the clock, I'd probably use this problem as a 
reason to explore FPGA, but instead I'm noodling about using a 
Beaglebone or somesuch as a starter.

Thoughts, anyone?

Regards,
Kent
