I would expect it to work with 12VDC. It's unlikely that they run it
through a transformer, and probably just rectify it, in which case
you'll drop a volt or so.
If it doesn't work the first time you hook it up, reverse the polarity.
Worst case, they run the 12VAC directly into a switching power supply,
in which case it won't damage anything, it just won't work.

Hi list,
I bought a USB connected logic analyzer for too much money (not that
much). When buying, I did a mistake and not thought through the issues,
and bought from a US supplier without telling them this needs to be a
220V country. As a result, I got an external power supply that is 110V,
which outputs 12V AC at 1000mA (why they do not write "1A", I do not know).
To my shame, I actually bought a universal DC supply without noticing
that it's AC I need, and started a support call with the company. They
were very nice, and when we, finally, found out the source (I hope it is
it), the guy said I could probably get by with 18VDC, but it would
strain the capacitors (my math suggests that 15VDC is closer to the mark).
So, does anyone know where I can get a 12V AC power supply? They are not
exactly a commodity.
Thanks,
Shachar
