Test and Measurement
Professional Electronics, without the constraints of a lab.
Which Test and Measurement Device is right for you?
All devices in the Analog Discovery families provide the utility of professional benchtop equipment with the flexibility of a portable instrument. The series includes mixed signal oscilloscope and programmable power supply instruments that give engineers the ability to tap into the efficiency of the WaveForms software. Products within the Analog Discovery Pro family take the extensive feature set within the Essentials family and expand it further to include deep memory, higher bandwidth, networking capability, USB 3.0, and more.
Digilent offers two different lines of Test and Measurement devices; click on each one to jump down and see the specifications for each device within the family:
