The Impedance Analyzer Instrument in WaveForms makes it easier to use by the reference resistors and relays that come pre-loaded on the Impedance Analyzer Adapter . The Analog Discovery can automatically select the most appropriate component for the job that it needs to do. When the instrument is started, the Scope and WaveGen are stopped and their status shows “Busy”. The Impedance Analyzer Instrument takes control over these instruments while running.
Plug in the Impedance Analyzer Adapter and start WaveForms. Please make sure the device is connected. If no device is connected to the host computer when WaveForms launches, you will be presented with the Device Manager. Once you have the device plugged in and turned on, it will appear the Device Manager's list.
Note: “DEMO” devices are also listed in the Device Manager. “DEMO” devices allow you to use WaveForms and create projects without a physical device.
Note: The Device Manager can be opened by clicking on the “Connected Device” button in the bottom right corner of the screen or by selecting “Device Manager” from the “Settings” menu at the top of the screen.
Double check all of the options listed across the top and select either SINGLE or RUN to perform the measurement.
In Meter Mode, the frequency can be adjusted or the Auto option can be used to select the measurement frequency.
The following items are the settings you can configure when running the Impedance Analyzer Instrument in WaveForms.
Under the gear icon, there are additional options to select
