-The Analog Discovery Pro (ADP5250) can be used with WaveForms' Wavegen instrument to output analog voltage waves via BNC cable. The Waveform Generator converts digital samples to analog and stimulates a circuit connected over a single channel. When the Wavegen instrument is used, the Analog Discovery Pro's analog output channel act as an Arbitrary Waveform Generator. The instrument supports everything from simple waveforms like Sine and Triangle waves or custom sets of samples can be defined by the user in applications like Excel and imported to WaveForms.+The Analog Discovery Pro (ADP5250) can be used with WaveForms' Wavegen instrument to output analog voltage waves via BNC cable.

 The waveform generator channel is considered a single ended pin, however, a connected circuit must share a ground with the Analog Discovery Pro. The waveform generator channel is considered a single ended pin, however, a connected circuit must share a ground with the Analog Discovery Pro.

 The Analog Discovery Pro (ADP5250) has 3 programmable Digital Voltage Supplies, which can supply between 0 V to +6 V, 0 V to +25 V, and 0 V to -25 V through the Power Supplies ("Supplies") instrument. The Analog Discovery Pro (ADP5250) has 3 programmable Digital Voltage Supplies, which can supply between 0 V to +6 V, 0 V to +25 V, and 0 V to -25 V through the Power Supplies ("Supplies") instrument.
  
-For more information on using the programmable power supplies, please visit the [[test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-pro-5250:specifications]]. For a walkthrough of the different features of WaveForms' Power Supplies instrument, please visit the [[test-and-measurement:guides:waveforms-supplies]] guide.+Each of the power supply rails is associated with an LED available on the connector, just above the supply's screw terminal, which is used to indicate the operating mode of that supply. When a load doesn't require more current than the supply's current limit, the supply operates in Constant Voltage (CV) mode, and the indicator LED is blue. When the load does try to draw more current than the current limit, the supply operates in Constant Current (CC) mode, and the LED is orange. WaveForms' Supplies instrument UI for the ADP5250 also features these LEDs, showing CV mode with a green indicator and CC with a red indicator.

 Each of WaveForms' instruments can be controlled through scripts within the WaveForms application itself. WaveForms' "Script" instrument allows the user to write and run JavaScript code that can control the rest of the application through an extensive API. This allows the user to configure and run many instruments at the same time, in an easily repeatable way. Each of WaveForms' instruments can be controlled through scripts within the WaveForms application itself.

-A variety of code examples are available in the application to aid in learning to write WaveForms scripts. Additional resources for writing scripts can be found on the Scopes and Instruments section of the [[https://forum.digilentinc.com|Digilent Forum]].+A variety of code examples are available in the application to aid in learning to write WaveForms scripts.
