   Certainly, if someone had the inclination (I do not), perhaps they could use   
   an Arduino Uno (14 digital I/Os), write some software for trigger and capture,   
   then dump and analyze.  Other microcontrollers could also be used, the Uno is   
   inexpensive and    
   readily available.  I'm not sure if it would be fast enough to reliably pick   
   up the data.  One phrase I used to hate when I was working was "it's just a   
   simple matter of software".  If it's so simple, friend, YOU write the   
   software.  That response always    
   shut them up.
