A few of those that we highlighted were:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workspaces.<\/strong>\u00a0Workspaces are what we call an instance of WaveForms that you can save in order to keep all the settings and data. Workspaces can be saved and opened later for a faster setup process, or to share results within a remote team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Save-Workspace.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20268\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Save-Workspace.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"439\" height=\"324\" data-wp-pid=\"20268\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The ability to export and import signals<\/strong>.

In WaveForms, you can export and import existing signals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/export-window.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20250\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/export-window-600x364.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"364\" data-wp-pid=\"20250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/export-window-600x364.png 600w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/export-window-768x466.png 768w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/export-window-1024x621.png 1024w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/export-window-800x485.png 800w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/export-window.png 1039w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>WaveForms SDK and other Software Plugins.<\/strong> We&#8217;ve talked a lot about SDK recently so I won&#8217;t go into too much detail other than to say WaveForms has a software development Kit in C++ and Python, and has other Software plugins such as the LabVIEW toolkit.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that make these gems so hidden is the fact that there hasn&#8217;t been a place where all of these can be found&#8230; until now!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m excited to announce the <a href=\"https:\/\/testandmeasure.org\/\">WaveForms Asset Store<\/a> aka <a href=\"https:\/\/testandmeasure.org\/\">testandmeasure.org.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/testandmeasure.org\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25594 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-asset-store-600x468.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"468\" data-wp-pid=\"25594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-asset-store-600x468.png 600w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-asset-store-768x599.png 768w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-asset-store-1024x799.png 1024w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-asset-store-800x624.png 800w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1-asset-store.png 1209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Currently, the <a href=\"https:\/\/testandmeasure.org\/\">WaveForms Asset store<\/a> is a place to download some of the above resources that we&#8217;ve found most requested or used by our community.<\/p>\n<p>You can find several signals that would be useful for testing demonstration purposes.
