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. …
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 …
The idea of “remote lab access” comes up a lot, but it can still feel a little abstract in practice. After dealing with the usual back-and-forth around lab access, the …
I’m not an engineer. But this will be my third time attending the ASEE Annual Conference with Digilent, and each year I leave feeling the same way: inspired. My background …
A large U.S. university with over 1,400 undergraduate electrical engineering students has developed a scalable approach to delivering hands-on lab experiences – both on campus and fully online. Serving a …
Signal processing starts with data. Whether you are working with sensors, audio signals, or transient events, the ability to capture clean, high-resolution data directly affects what you can learn from …
