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 …

Editor’s Note – In this series, we will take a behind the scenes look at how an engineer tackles a project from beginning to end. What challenges will come up? …
The ability to optimize the verification process of embedded systems is helpful for small and medium-sized projects, but it also provides significant benefits to system-on-chip processes at larger OEMs as …
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 …
Earlier this year, we learned that VAXEL-EZ was deployed to help a team of engineers who had been developing a powerful new tool that converts C++ models to register-transfer level …
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. …
The Emona Communications Board (DxIQ‑45G) is a purpose‑built partner board for the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max), designed to introduce students to foundational concepts in modern digital and …
Engineering education evolves quickly, but some fundamentals never go out of style. Field‑Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been a training ground for generations of engineers because they teach students how …
Engineering education unfolds over time through courses, labs, and projects that steadily build a student’s capacity to think like an engineer. The strongest programs give students chances to connect theory …
When working on complex circuits, whether in an academic lab or a professional prototyping environment, having the ability to analyze multiple signals simultaneously is critical. The Analog Discovery Studio Max …
