(It doesn&#8217;t sound as catchy &#8212; perhaps Toss-back Tuesday?). This time last year,\u00a0one of our blog authors did <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/index.php\/digilent-waveforms-software-what-is-it-and-who-should-use-it\/\">a thorough and thoughtful analysis of WaveForms<\/a> and who should use it.

The instruments within WaveForms include an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator, digital pattern generator, power supplies, a voltmeter, virtual I\/O devices, and a spectrum analyzer,&#8221; says Will.<\/p>\n<p>Will provides an overview of each instrument, explaining its uses and capabilities. He also pointed readers to some good resources for learning more about WaveForms, ways to learn it, and projects that use it.
