Digilent ADP2230 – Analog Discovery Pro Mixed Signal USB Oscilloscope, Waveform Generator, Logic Analyzer, and Variable Power Supply

• USB Mixed Signal Oscilloscope with deep memory buffers for long acquisitions
• BNC connectors and an aluminum case
• Two analog inputs – 50+ MHz bandwidth
• One analog output – 15 MHz bandwidth
• 16 digital input/output channels

The Analog Discovery Pro (ADP2230) is a mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO) designed for professional engineers. It features analog inputs, analog output, and digital I/O, with deep memory buffers all operating at up to 125 MS/s. Users can both receive and generate digital signals to test and analyze data from various devices while simultaneously powering those systems with its robust power supply. The feature-packed design allows the ADP2230 to perform the functions of several test and measurement devices and can replace a stack of traditional instruments.

With the free WaveForms software, users can view and capture complex data, perform spectral and network analysis, and quickly retrieve large amounts of data. WaveForms leverages the ADP2230’s deep buffer memory, allowing hundreds of millions of samples to be stored and streamed back to the host computer. WaveForms’ friendly user interface has the feel of traditional benchtop oscilloscopes.

The ADP2230 is part of the Digilent Analog Discovery Pro family of Test and Measurement devices that empower engineers, researchers, educators, and scientists to design and test with unparalleled flexibility. These customizable solutions cater to both seasoned professionals and emerging engineers, accelerating development while maintaining a low barrier to entry.

WaveForms is the free software application for the ADP2230 and 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 or ethernet connection to your 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 and is Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible.

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. The ADP2230 is also compatible with LabVIEW and the Digilent Toolbox for compatibility with MathWorks’ MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox.
