Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250

Digilent's Analog Discovery Pro is designed to combine a complete set of instruments into a flexible and programmable device

Image of Digilent's Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250Digilent's ADP5250 brings a higher sample rate, bandwidth, and a more rugged design to the Analog Discovery Pro family, keeping their free highly rated WaveForms application software at the controls.

Higher Sample Rate and Bandwidth Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

Designed to combine a complete set of instruments into a flexible and programmable device, the ADP5250 features a mixed-signal oscilloscope with two 100 MHz up to 1 GS/s analog input channels, one waveform generator with up to 20 MHz sine output, 34 digital channels at a sample rate of up to 100 MS/s, a tri-output power supply capable of up to 25 V, an external trigger, and a built-in programmable DMM.

Ultimate All-In-One Test System

Analog Discovery Pro devices feature a variety of advanced triggering options. Instruments within WaveForms can be cross-triggered by activating an oscilloscope capture based on a received and decoded digital protocol. In addition, external signals can trigger events using the dedicated external trigger input/output. Digilent's free WaveForms software provides these features configurable in the instruments themselves or for more control or automation in one of the available scripting interfaces.

WaveForms software applications

WaveForms is a free software application for the ADP5250 that enables use of the available analog and digital instruments. The software has been refined by customer feedback for over 10 years and features a computer- and laptop-friendly user interface that has the feel of traditional benchtop software. The device communicates with WaveForms via a USB connection to the computer, allowing users to capture, record, analyze, and generate mixed signal and mixed domain waveforms. WaveForms can be downloaded and installed in under 60 seconds and can be tested without hardware using its demo-mode feature. In addition to the use of instruments in the application, the WaveForms application has a script editor tool which allows custom scripting of the instrument in JavaScript. WaveForms is designed to be run on a laptop or desktop computer.

For even more customization potential, the WaveForms software development kit (SDK) can be used to create custom applications and scripts in Python®, C, and additional languages.
