Blurring the Lines Between FPGA and Test & Measurement
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.
The Analog Discovery Pro introduces an entirely new way to interact with a portable device of its kind, Linux Mode.
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 …
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 …
