The High Speed Adapter breaks out each of the High Speed Inputs and pairs it with it&#8217;s own ground. The High Speed Logic Probes that come with the High Speed Adapter are twisted pairs with a matched resistor, designed to reduce noise.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22487\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22487\" style=\"width: 337px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/aa-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22487\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/aa-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"337\" height=\"254\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Digital Discovery hard at work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Digital Discovery can be used on it&#8217;s own with good signal integrity up to 200MS\/s, and many signals at higher speeds.
