As engineers, we know the importance of having versatile and effective tools at our disposal. The Analog Discovery 2 from Digilent is one such tool that has become a staple …
We’ve been working with Pavel Demin, a research engineer based in Belgium, on several projects related to the Eclypse. For the first, to demonstrate approaches to rapid prototyping, he put …
The 4-20 mA current loop interface came about because of the need to transmit information over long distances. System designers found that instead of a changing a voltage signal [that …
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is today’s go-to device for changing an analog signal into a digital binary value. The ADC takes a snapshot in time that approximates the actual value …
At some point during a FPGA engineers’ career, they will be faced with a difficult bug in their VHDL or Verilog code and they’ll ask themselves: “Why are we stuck …
What is jitter? Jitter is the variance in where exactly a clock falls. You might expect that a 100 MHz clock has edges that occur exactly every 10 ns. However, …
Imagine you have just a few measurements left before you can hand over your latest project to your sales team so that they can present it to potential customers. But …
So what is it? The Digilent Test & Measurement Toolbox allows users to acquire and analyze data in MATLAB using Digilent’s test and measurment devices. Featuring analog data streaming, digital …
WaveForms. It’s the software suite that controls all of Digilent’s Test and Measurement devices including the popular Analog Discovery 2, the Analog Discovery Pro series boards, and the Digital Discovery. …
So I’ve been using the Analog Discovery Pro (ADP3450/ADP3250) and the Analog Discovery 2 for some time now. But one of the things I had to keep on my bench here …
COILS COILS COILS If you’re like me, you’ll have many wireless charging coils around your lab for various standards. They likely entered your lab well-dressed; adorned in well-labelled packaging, …
A classic interaction between a new FPGA user and an embattled older engineer (whether on our Forums or elsewhere) goes as follows: New engineer: My design doesn’t work, could you …
We’ve got big news: Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max) just won the Best Test & Measurement of the Year award at the EE Awards Asia 2025! This isn’t just …
Hello folks, Oscar Fonseca here, Product Manager for NI Academic. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is listening to educators and turning their feedback into solutions that …
Choosing the best data logger for your specific requirements can feel overwhelming. With so many types available, it’s important to focus on the features that matter most for your work—whether …
Introduction The classic electronics bench often brings to mind a large, heavy oscilloscope with a dedicated screen and complex front panel. While these instruments remain powerful, a new generation of …
