How to Test a Relay With a Multimeter: A Detailed Guide A multimeter tests a relay in two ways. First, set it to ohms (Ω) mode and measure the coil …
To measure current with a multimeter, you break the circuit and insert the meter in series. Set the meter to A (amps) or mA, plug the red probe into the …
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are digital devices. They can’t read a voltage directly. To bring an analog signal into an FPGA, you need an ADC, short for analog-to-digital converter. You …
The Best SDR Projects: From Amateur Radio to Satellite Tracking Software defined radio (SDR) is a digital window into signals you normally can’t see. Aircraft, ships, satellites, utility meters, amateur …
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 …
Software-defined radio (SDR) has transformed the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with wireless systems. Instead of relying on fixed hardware to perform radio functions, SDR platforms move much of …
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such as filtering, modulation, demodulation, signal generation, …
You open a Verilog example, launch Vivado for the first time, or start reading for a digital design course, and one term keeps showing up: RTL. It usually appears as …
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 …
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 …
The Question A user getting started with the Analog Discovery 3 (AD3) wanted to generate a waveform using the Arbitrary Waveform Generator while simultaneously sampling an analog input – both …

There’s a particular kind of project that a lot of engineering students want to attempt but never quite start. Building a processor is high on that list. It sounds like …
Hello readers, Oscar Fonseca here, Product Manager at Emerson, working closely with our NI and Digilent academic customers. I’m excited to announce the release of LabVIEW WaveForms Toolkit 2.0. One …
