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 wireless tools are built for one job. A dedicated spectrum analyzer monitors frequencies. A GPS receiver locks onto satellites. A protocol tester checks a specific wireless standard. Each device …
How SDR Works: Understanding the Mechanics of the SDR Signal Chain Software-defined radio (SDR) has transformed the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with wireless systems. Instead of relying on …
What Is SDR (Software Defined Radio)? Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such …
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 …
