WaveForms<\/a>\u00a0is the software interface that controls the\u00a0Analog Discovery 2<\/a>, the\u00a0Digital Discovery<\/a>, and the Electronics Explorer Board. Soon, it will also control the Analog Discovery Studio, providing access to all of the bench-top tools. We posted an updated version of WaveForms, version 3.10.9, which is available for download on the Digilent Wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new version of WaveForms<\/a> includes new programming language compatibility with WaveForms SDK, improvements to the impedance analyzer, bug fixes and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can view the entire change log on the WaveForms Download page<\/a>, but here is a summary of the biggest changes.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Functionality in the Oscilloscope:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital channels can now be accessed from the oscilloscope and displayed on the same graph. To use, add a digital channel, then add a math channel and select the digital channel and it will appear in the oscilloscope plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ease of Use Improvements in the Analog Discovery 2 Power Supply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power supplies can now be changed via a slider, and have a minimum and maximum set. Check the tracking check box and the two supplies will always have the same value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Logic Analyzer Additions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measurements are now available in the logic analyzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Decoded UART data in the logic analyzer can be displayed in nine different formats, including ASCII and decimal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Improvements in the Spectrum Analyzer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More measurements and units are now available in the spectrum analyzer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Functionality and Windows in the Impedance Analyzer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New modes are now available in the impedance analyzer, including constant current, voltage, and a custom script option for amplitude and resistance control. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New plots are also available in the impedance analyzer such as voltage, current, and custom plots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The impedance analyzer meter window includes a list of measurements that can now be edited.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The meter also now has a “resistance” mode in addition to inductance and capacitance modes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"


<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The measurement frequency now also includes a DC option in addition to the following available frequencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The time view now includes a step mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Additional Features in the Network Analyzer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time and FFT views in the network analyzer also have the added step mode functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The input amplitude can now be controlled by the waveform generator or created from a custom script or table of step values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Software Compatibility and Examples in WaveForms SDK:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual Basic and C# are now added to the available programming languages including C, and Python. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The I2C functionality now has an option for no clock stretching, FDwfDigitalI2cStretchSetnew, and there are new examples in Python;
Digital_I2c_PmodAcl.py, Digital_I2c_PmodGyro.py.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Settings for the Entire Application:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The options menu for the application now allows the mouse wheel, and drag operations on the plot and scale to be disabled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
