Still included for free is the configurable customer favorite WaveForms software, so users will still have easy access to the same test and measurement tools <em>(The ADP5250 supports the Oscilloscope, Waveform Generator, Power Supplies, DMM, Logic Analyzer, Static I\/O, and the Spectrum, Network, and Impedance Analyzers instruments in the WaveForms software).<\/em> Out of the box, the ADP5250 features a power supply (up to 25V), and it&#8217;s our first instrument to have built-in digital multimeter capabilities. With WaveForms, DMM capability, and the power supply, the ADP5250 truly is an all-in-one testing system.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We saw a solution for test engineers that other products haven&#8217;t successfully addressed yet,&#8221; said Kaitlyn Franz, our Test &amp; Measurement Products Manager. &#8220;The ADP5250 takes multiple technologies and puts them into a single system that any test engineer can benefit from, giving them a reliable way to work on a majority of their needs.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>What Features Does the ADP5250 Include?<\/h2>\n<h6>Analog
