Adapters and Canvases
Each test and measurement device features an expansive set of instruments designed to be the first stop shop for test and probing for any development project. With such a wide range of use cases, our test and measurement devices feature generalized connection methods (MTE connectors and pogo pins) that can be used with the included MTE cables, or with our wide selection of test adapters available to buy from the Digilent store. Our expansion modules and adapters are designed to add functionality or provide additional connection options for a wide variety of applications.
Adapters for the Analog Discovery range from the BNC Adapters, designed for use with industry standard BNC probes, to the Transistor Testers, which enables the use of the curve tracer instrument without having to set up reference circuits. The following are the available measurement adapters:
- Audio Adapter (analyze audio signals with the Analog Discovery oscilloscope instrument)
- BNC Adapter (provides BNC and MTE connections to use with waveform generator and oscilloscope instruments)
- Breadboard Adapter (provides a 400 tie point breadboard or prototyping surface))
- Breadboard Breakout (designed to connect all of the inputs and outputs on the Analog Discovery directly to a breadboard)
- High Speed Adapter and Logic Analyzer Probes (designed to reduce noise and ensure signal integrity for the Digital Discovery)
- Impedance Analyzer (impedance analyzers provide automatically adjusting reference resistors and relays for impedance testing and impedance measurement)
- Transistor Tester (enable to use of the curve tracer instrument without needing a reference circuit set up)
The High-speed Adapter for Digital Discovery ensures signal integrity of high speed signals at the top end of the Digital Discovery's range.
Canvases for the Analog Discovery Studio provide a large prototyping surface and a selection of other features including switchable power supplies, integrated I/O and SMT breakouts and are all magnetically connectable to the Analog Discovery Studio. The following are the available canvases:
- Analog Discovery Canvas (removable breadboard surface)
- Blank Canvas (through-hole prototyping surface)
- Breadboard Canvas (the removable Canvas that is included with the purchase of the Analog Discovery Studio)
- Interposer Canvas (designed to securely attach a compatible FPGA board to the Analog Discovery Studio for digital logic test systems)
