+ | ===== Oscilloscope ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Analog Discovery Pro (ADP5250) can be used with WaveForms’ Oscilloscope instrument to capture analog data via the 2 analog input channels using BNC probes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since the Analog Discovery Pro’s analog input channels are shared, the Oscilloscope instrument cannot be used at the same time as the Spectrum Analyzer, Network Analyzer, or Impedance Analyzer instruments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Analog Discovery Pro features an additional connector, found just to the right of the analog input channels, that provides a square wave for use in compensating your probes. By connecting the probe to the tab indicated by the square wave symbol and the ground clip to the tab indicated by the ground symbol, a 5 V, 1 kHz, square wave reference signal can be measured using the Scope instrument. If your probes support adjusting the compensation, | ||

+ | |||
+ | Frequency sweeps can be performed in ranges between 1 mHz and 10 MHz with up to 10k samples per decade. The wave used for the sweep can be customized, and uses the same resources as the Waveform Generator instrument. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Network Analyzer instrument uses the analog output and analog input channels of the Analog Discovery Pro (ADP5250) to probe a test circuit. The Network Analyzer can be configured to use an external signal to provide input to the circuit under test, rather than using the analog output channels. | ||
+ | |||
