Let’s talk about clocking. It’s crucial to the functionality of FPGA boards and digital design in general, as all synchronous logic depends on clocks. In this article, we’ll define some …
Shifting Academic Focus In late June, Digilent attended the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference. We’re no strangers to the event, and have been proud to show off …
This Mandelbrot set renderer was created by Conrad, who shared the project on GitHub (username conradSZY05). Built for the Digilent Basys 3, the design uses VHDL and Xilinx Vivado to …
Debugging modern embedded systems often requires piecing together information from multiple tools to understand both analog and digital behavior. In a recent Digilent webinar, we took a closer look at …
The Question A Digilent forum user working on a vintage computing project needed to troubleshoot hardware built around a 6502 CPU. Their goal was to extract the CPU’s address and …
Hello readers, Oscar Fonseca here, product manager at Emerson, working closely with our NI and Digilent academic customers. In this blog, I’m going to compare the NI ELVIS III and the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max). As someone who …
NI USB oscilloscopes have a strong track record. If your workflow specifically depends on NI‑SCOPE driver features, InstrumentStudio, or formal calibration services, then NI’s modular instruments are the right path. For most prototyping, research, and validation teams, the Analog …
If you have ever pushed the bandwidth higher on an instrument and thought, “Why does this look worse now?” you are not alone. Many engineers run into this when they try to …
Digilent’s WaveForms software includes a small built-in FPGA utility, which is used to configure (program) the FPGA on supported Digilent boards directly from within WaveForms. If you’ve been around for …
The Question A user getting started with the Analog Discovery 3 (AD3) wanted to generate a waveform using the Arbitrary Waveform Generator while simultaneously sampling an analog input – both …
Does measurement still matter? Engineering has always been shaped by its tools. From early lab instruments to modern software and test systems, the way engineers observe, verify, and evaluate their …
Digital design education has long relied on simulation to introduce foundational concepts such as Boolean logic, sequential circuits, and finite state machines. While simulation is essential, it does not fully …
The Emona Communications Board (DxIQ‑45G) is a purpose‑built partner board for the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max), designed to introduce students to foundational concepts in modern digital and …
Engineering education evolves quickly, but some fundamentals never go out of style. Field‑Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been a training ground for generations of engineers because they teach students how …
Engineering education unfolds over time through courses, labs, and projects that steadily build a student’s capacity to think like an engineer. The strongest programs give students chances to connect theory …
When working on complex circuits, whether in an academic lab or a professional prototyping environment, having the ability to analyze multiple signals simultaneously is critical. The Analog Discovery Studio Max …
Averaging several single-point measurements you place with oscilloscope cursors is a practical way to get a stable “representative” value of a signal at specific times or levels. WaveForms doesn’t (currently) …
We’ve got big news: Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max) just won the Best Test & Measurement of the Year award at the EE Awards Asia 2025! This isn’t just …
Hello folks, Oscar Fonseca here, Product Manager for NI Academic. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is listening to educators and turning their feedback into solutions that …
Choosing the best data logger for your specific requirements can feel overwhelming. With so many types available, it’s important to focus on the features that matter most for your work—whether …
Introduction The classic electronics bench often brings to mind a large, heavy oscilloscope with a dedicated screen and complex front panel. While these instruments remain powerful, a new generation of …
Introduction Oscilloscopes are designed to measure voltage over time, but understanding current is just as important for analyzing circuit behaviour, especially in power systems, motor control, and embedded applications. Measuring …
Introduction An oscilloscope is an essential tool for visualizing electronic signals, and one of its most valuable functions is measuring frequency—the number of times a signal repeats per second. This …
In industrial environments, unplanned downtime isn’t just inconvenient, it’s expensive. Equipment failures can halt production, compromise safety, and disrupt operations. While traditional maintenance strategies like reactive repair or scheduled servicing …
