Adding More Channels in WaveForms Let’s assume you have an Analog Discovery 2 and love it, but your setup needs more than two oscilloscope channels and the more powerful ADP3450 …
In 2021, we brought forward the idea of Embedded Measurement, the name we gave to describe the current convergence of benchtop instruments with the flexibility and agility of embedded systems …
Portable Prototyping If you’re a student enrolled in a course that asks you to use an Analog Discovery 2 to continue projects at home, then this scenario hits home: You …
The First Expansion to the Zmod Family In early 2020, Digilent released the Eclypse Z7 development board, which provided two SYZYGY-compatible connection ports. SYZYGY is a relatively new interface standard …
The Logic Analyzer instrument in WaveForms can be used to easily decode Manchester encoding signals. The following guide presents what Manchester encoding is, what are its advantages over unencoded digital …
Though oscilloscopes are most known for viewing and diagnosing analog signals, there are some cases where critical characteristics of digital signals can only be viewed on an oscilloscope. When designing …
When looking at the oscilloscope feature of a multi-instrument device or when comparing two benchtop oscilloscopes, the first specifications that we look at are the bandwidth and sample rate. While these …
Have you recently acquired a bunch of data and are trying to figure out what to do with it? Using the Analog Discovery Pro 3450‘s (or ADP3250’s, for that matter) …
Raspberry Pi 4 is Adafruit’s popular tiny desktop computer. At only $35, it’s widely considered the standard in the Maker community. Our own Digital Discovery is quite the value as …
In our last WaveForms update (3.16.3) we introduced the usual plethora of new settings features and bug fixes, but we also added an entirely new instrument, the Curve Tracer Instrument. …
Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite made its debut in 2012 as an integrated design environment for embedded development. More recently, the semiconductor company released its Vitis platform, which subsequently also includes …
From our first models of Analog Discovery, we’ve come a long way. The new ADP3450 builds on what earlier devices were missing, creating a unique experience for test engineers.
Most students do not struggle with equations. They struggle with understanding what those equations actually do. In many learning environments, students define a system, run a process, and then interpret …
If you’re choosing between an FPGA and a SoC, the real question is not which one is “better.” It’s which one fits the job in front of you. Here is …
You open a Verilog example, launch Vivado for the first time, or start reading for a digital design course, and one term keeps showing up: RTL. It usually appears as …
At events like ASEE, there is a lot of conversation around tools, curriculum, and new ways to deliver technical content. All of those things matter. But one student poster I …
