Recently we launched the Digital Discovery<\/a>, the ultimate embedded development companion. It features a high speed Logic Analyzer, Pattern Generator, Protocol Analyzer, and Power Supplies.<\/p>\n

With WaveForms 2015<\/a>, you can run demo mode and test out the software functionality that works with the Digital Discovery. However, some of you are probably wondering, if I order the Digital Discovery, what do I actually get?<\/p>\n

When you receive a Digital Discovery, it will come in a reusable project box, with some cardboard packaging intended to protect the device in transport.<\/p>\n

If you flip the package over, you’ll find some helpful specifications, the same information that you can find on it’s resource center, and a blurb about the device.<\/p>\n

You’ll find some info about the Digital Discovery on the back of the green sleeve.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once you remove the cardboard sleeve, you’ll see the device itself.<\/p>\n

Open the project box and you’ll reveal a compartment above the Digital Discovery<\/a> that contains all of the accessories.<\/p>\n

You’ll get the Digital Discovery<\/a>, one 2×6 Flywire<\/a>, one 2×16 Flywire<\/a>, and a micro USB cable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When you remove the cardboard insert that’s put in there for shipping, you’ll reveal a handy pin diagram. This shows the locations, colors and symbols of the 24 high speed inputs, 16 Digital I\/Os and many ground pins.<\/p>\n

On the back of that is the same information you saw when you looked at the back of the box, but now additional information is revealed. You can see a link to the getting started guide, and the Forum for additional questions.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve read everything on the cardboard insert you can get rid of that, and use your project box to store your Digital Discovery.<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the cardboard leaflet is removed you can put everything back in the box to store.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
