For those of you familiar with Digilent’s YouTube <\/a>channel, then you know that we post helpful tutorial, educational, and showcase videos. If you’re not, you should go check it out!<\/p>\n

One of the video series on the YouTube channel is the Analog Discovery 2 Quickstart series<\/a>.\u00a0Designed to get you up to speed with the Analog Discovery in video form! If you prefer text, there’s also the getting started guide.<\/a><\/p>\n

And important, but often forgotten video, is Video 3, where you’ll learn about the device manager and how to calibrate your Analog Discovery 2 for the best results. Don’t fret too much, all devices are factory calibrated, but it’s always good to re-calibrate every so often.<\/p>\n

If you subscribe or keep a close watch on the Digilent YouTube channel, you’ll start to see Videos 4-15, where I go through each of the tools, describing what they’re for and how to use them.<\/p>\n

Releasing first will be Video 4: The Oscilloscope tool. In this video, I’ll introduce the Oscilloscope, go through all the buttons and features, and give an example of its use.<\/p>\n
