Last month, I described a simple stateless web application using Python and Plotly’s Dash module. It created a dashboard allowing users to select waveform channels, update rate, and the number …
Introducing JupyterLab JupyterLab is a relatively new tool. It is an open-source development environment (IDE) for working with Jupyter notebooks. Notebooks are primarily used to combine program code, code results, …
Using a data acquisition device (DAQ) can be challenging. Often, connecting to a single channel produces a suitable measurement. Yet, DAQs seldom have a single channel; trouble usually happens when …
Welcome back to the Digilent Blog! You may have heard about how Digilent is building support for our Analog Discovery devices within the DASYLab software through a custom module. This …
Welcome to the world of educational data acquisition (DAQ) and electronics hobby projects! Whether you’re an engineering student, a seasoned industry professional, a curious hobbyist, or a dedicated professor, DAQ …
Data acquisition (DAQ) is the process of capturing and converting physical signals from the real world into digital data that can be processed by computers. This seemingly simple concept lies …
At Digilent, we champion the power of data in driving informed decisions across diverse industries. From optimizing industrial processes to monitoring vital signs in healthcare, the ability to effectively collect …
In the vast realm of data acquisition, the precision and accuracy of measurements—particularly when working with digital input/output (I/O)—play a crucial role in extracting meaningful insights. This Tech Tip will …
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 …
Using Additional Software to View Date Remotely Now that we’ve created a working distributed data collection and display system (see parts 1 through 4), let’s briefly explore other software packages available …
Distributing the Applications to View the Data Remotely The goal of this article series is to demonstrate how to create a data acquisition system on one system, and view the …
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 …
