Test & Measurement


Pocket sized multi-function oscilloscope

15 June 2016 Test & Measurement

The Digilent Analog Discovery 2, developed in conjunction with Analog Devices, is a multi-function instrument that allows users to measure, visualise, generate, record and control mixed-signal circuits of all kinds.

Featuring 30 MHz bandwidth and 100 MSps sampling rate, the low-cost device is small enough to fit in a pocket, and gives engineering students, hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts the freedom to work with analog and digital circuits in virtually any environment, in or out of the lab.

The analog and digital inputs and outputs can be connected to a circuit using simple wire probes; alternatively, a BNC adaptor and BNC probes can be used to connect and utilise the inputs and outputs. Driven by the free WaveForms software, the Analog Discovery 2 can be configured to work as any one of several traditional instruments, which include:

• Two-channel oscilloscope.

• Two-channel arbitrary function generator.

• Stereo audio amplifier.

• 16-channel digital logic analyser.

• 16-channel pattern generator.

• 16-channel virtual digital I/O including buttons, switches and LEDs.

• Two input/output digital trigger signals for linking multiple instruments.

• Two programmable power supplies.

• Single-channel voltmeter.

• Network analyser.

• Spectrum analyser.

• Digital bus analyser.
