Outfitting a lab is rarely about finding a single perfect instrument. In most cases, the goal is to choose tools that are flexible, reliable, and capable of supporting a range …
The Analog Discovery Pro 2440 and Analog Discovery Pro 2450 combine capable hardware with WaveForms software that is designed for everyday measurement work. The focus is not just on capturing …
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 …
This Mandelbrot set renderer was created by Conrad, who shared the project on GitHub (username conradSZY05). Built for the Digilent Basys 3, the design uses VHDL and Xilinx Vivado to …
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 …
Hello readers, Oscar Fonseca here, product manager at Emerson, working closely with our NI and Digilent academic customers. In this blog, I’m going to compare the NI ELVIS III and the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max). As someone who …
NI USB oscilloscopes have a strong track record. If your workflow specifically depends on NI‑SCOPE driver features, InstrumentStudio, or formal calibration services, then NI’s modular instruments are the right path. For most prototyping, research, and validation teams, the Analog …
If you have ever pushed the bandwidth higher on an instrument and thought, “Why does this look worse now?” you are not alone. Many engineers run into this when they try to …
Digilent’s WaveForms software includes a small built-in FPGA utility, which is used to configure (program) the FPGA on supported Digilent boards directly from within WaveForms. If you’ve been around for …
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 …
TLDR on Digilent’s new ADP2440 and ADP2450 What it is USB‑based mixed signal oscilloscopes for modern prototyping, research, and validation. Four analog channels, sixteen digital I/O, integrated arbitrary waveform generator, …
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 …
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 …
