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.
It seems as if every time we’re approaching the boundaries of technology’s influence on our culture, a new development, trend, or exciting innovation pushes those boundaries even further, launching even …
Will Wadkins, Digilent’s FPGA Product Manager, discusses how Digilent is beginning to enter the software-defined radio space with the introduction of the USRP B205mini-i.
Some time ago, we had an old NES controller floating around the office. It wasn’t your run-of-the-mill NES controller, though – it had been “tampered” with. Instead of the normal …
Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope vs. Digital Storage Oscilloscope A mixed-signal oscilloscope, or MSO, combines the analog channels of a digital storage oscilloscope, or DSO, with digital logic-analyzer channels in one instrument. A …
Every FPGA development workflow depends on several connected pieces: a programming and debugging interface, a design environment, expansion hardware, and the accessories needed to connect and power the system. Many …
The best FPGA board for a beginner is affordable, approachable, and backed by strong learning resources. Think of it as an FPGA starter kit designed to help you begin building …
Running the same measurement 500 times, logging data overnight, or feeding captured samples directly into a Python analysis pipeline is where the WaveForms graphical application may start to fall short. …
