I'm considering purchasing the Digital Discovery. I will primarily use it to decode RS-232 and RS-485 signals. However, the specs on the device say it is designed for CMOS 0-3.3V but will tolerate 0-5V. Obviously the RS-232 and 485 voltages are way outside this range. All the other logic analyzers out there (Saleae, DSLogic, etc) totally and safely support the 232 and 485 voltages. Will those signals fry a Digital Explorer? If not, can someone point me to something in writing that states the Digital Explorer will handle those signals? Thanks!
