In that post I highlighted the differences between the Analog Discovery and it&#8217;s successor the Analog Discovery 2. I also recently introduced the newest member to Instrumentation, the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/digital-discovery-portable-logic-analyzer-and-digital-pattern-generator\/\">Digital Discovery<\/a>.\u00a0Well, the late Analog Discovery Original, Analog Discovery 2, and Digital Discovery have a few additional\u00a0relatives, and they have some major differences.<\/p>\n<p>Some differences are obvious, such as the physical design between the Analog Discovery 2 and Electronics Explorer Board. One is a workstation vs a pocket sized tool.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19508\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19508\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19508\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/32450575894_1cc2960c69_z-600x423.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"423\" data-wp-pid=\"19508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/32450575894_1cc2960c69_z-600x423.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/32450575894_1cc2960c69_z.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19508\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can see the difference in physical design here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One designed to provide a workstation, while the other is designed to be taken wherever debugging takes you.<\/p>\n<p>Other differences might be denoted by name, such as the Digital Discovery, which focuses on high speed digital applications only&#8230; no analog functionality here.<\/p>\n<p>But their differences are more than mechanical or nominal, each member of this family has it&#8217;s own set of specifications and features.
