Digital pulse train acquisition

[JDW1]

Forgive me if this most basic of all acquisition questions has been asked before, but a precursory search of this forum did not yield any useful results.

Simply put, I would like to know what low-cost hardware/software combination would best enable me to read-and-store digital TTL pulse trains (3.xV, 5.0V or 12.0V) that have a minimum pulse width of 1us and are up to 256-bits long.  I need to be able to view the entire pulse train to check duty cycle, high time, low time, number of pulses, etc.  An example task would be to read the complete digital pulse train output from a simplistic RF Receiver in order to decode and understand its communication protocol.  (For example, when you press Button-1 on a Transmitter, the Receiver would send Code-A, while pressing Button-2 on the Tx would generate Code-B on the Rx, etc.)  

Any features above and beyond this are uneeded.

Thank you.

I appreciate your reply and suggestion.

But no doubt others could benefit from the knowledge of which NI products would satisfy the "pulse train acquisition" criterion outlined in my opening post.  As such, if you have any specific product solutions you can post here publicly, such would be a benefit to forum members and ultimate to NI too.

Thank you.
