Last month, I described a simple stateless web application using Python and Plotly’s Dash module. It created a dashboard allowing users to select waveform channels, update rate, and the number …
Consider Dash if you’ve ever wanted to create a web browser application using Python. With Dash, you don’t need to be good at using JavaScript, great at Cascading Style Sheets …
Introducing JupyterLab JupyterLab is a relatively new tool. It is an open-source development environment (IDE) for working with Jupyter notebooks. Notebooks are primarily used to combine program code, code results, …
Using a data acquisition device (DAQ) can be challenging. Often, connecting to a single channel produces a suitable measurement. Yet, DAQs seldom have a single channel; trouble usually happens when …
Digilent WebDAQ devices, such as the 316, 504, and 904, are standalone data acquisition devices that offer a user-friendly web server interface. This interface, accessible through your preferred Internet browser …
A software-defined radio (SDR) is not a radio in the traditional sense. Instead of fixed analog components with limited range and ability, an SDR is programmable and highly flexible. Referred …
In twenty years, will we own an automobile, or will fleets of autonomous vehicles roam the streets waiting to be hailed? In the United States, over 30,000 people die on …
This blog post discusses the concept of lock-in amplifiers and will introduce you to a newly added feature of WaveForms. The new Lock-In Amplifier feature is supported across all of …
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is today’s go-to device for changing an analog signal into a digital binary value. The ADC takes a snapshot in time that approximates the actual value …
How Do You Measure an IEPE Accelerometer? The Basics of IEPE Sensors Matching IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) sensors to an instrument can be quite easy if you know a few …
What Do Data Acquisition Specifications Actually Mean? I got my first taste of data acquisition working in a student lab at NASA Glenn Research Center. I was working on a …
Mixed‑signal validation often starts with more tools than necessary. An oscilloscope for analog signals, a logic analyzer for digital buses, and a separate signal generator just to get known inputs …
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 …
