Analog Discovery Pro ADP3450 BNC (471-040)

Description

Analog Discovery Pro ADP3450 is the latest accessory for a personal computer from transforming it into a universal, multifunctional instrument for measuring, visualizing, generating and recording signals in the electronics lab.

The highlight is the four-channel oscilloscope, offering 14-bit resolution up to 0.5 GS / s. Additionally, the device is equipped with 16 digital channels, a built-in power source, digital outputs, a two-channel arbitrary generator, as well as two external triggers. In total, ADP3450 offers 12 functions:

• Oscilloscope,
• Programmable power sources,
• Data Acquisition,
• Digital waveform generator,
• Spectrum analyzer,
• Impedance analyzer,
• Signal generator,
• Voltmeter,
• Logic analyzer,
• Static I / O control,
• Network analyzer,
• Protocol analyzer.

One of the new features that Analog Discovery Pro adds is Linux mode, which provides a terminal operating system that runs on the device. Allows the use of four USB host ports on the Analog Discovery Pro rear panel. Linux mode supports communication between the device and the host computer via USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and also allows access to the Internet, e.g. using a WiFi adapter.

Analog Discovery Pro features a variety of advanced triggering options. Instruments within WaveForms can be cross-triggered for example, activating an oscilloscope capture based on a received and decoded digital protocol. And external signals can trigger events using the two dedicated external trigger inputs on the back of the device. WaveForms provides these features configurable in the instruments themselves, or for more control or automation in one of the available scripting interfaces.

WaveForms is the free software application for the ADP3450 and ADP3250 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. The user also has at his disposal the WaveForms SDK, a set of software libraries and examples that can be used to create custom applications in C, C++, C#, Visual Basic and Python, as well as using LaVIEW and MATLAB.

Comprehensive documentation and operating instructions are available for the device. The manufacturer also provides numerous guides and sample projects available on the product page.
