![]() When used this way, the 16 digital input/output channels are configured to capture high/low logic states on connected pins. The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' “Logic” instrument to act as a Logic Analyzer. For a walkthrough of the different features of WaveForms' Waveform Generator instrument, please visit the Using the Waveform Generator guide. Since the Analog Discovery 2's analog output channels are shared, the Waveform Generator instrument cannot be used at the same time as the Network Analyzer, or Impedance Analyzer instruments.įor more information on the analog output (Wavegen) channels, please visit the Analog Discovery 2 Specifications. Custom sets of samples can be defined by the user in applications like Excel and imported to WaveForms.Įach waveform generator channel is considered a single ended pin, however, a connected circuit must share a ground with the Analog Discovery 2. The instrument supports everything from simple waveforms like Sine and Triangle waves, up to more complicated functions like AM and FM modulation. When Wavegen is used, the Analog Discovery 2's analog output channels act as an Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Wavegen converts 14-bit digital samples to analog at a rate of up to 100 MS/s on each of two channels. The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' Wavegen instrument to output analog voltage waves via either BNC ( BNC Adapter) cables or MTE cables. ![]() ![]() Furthermore, for distortion-free measurements, the common mode and differential voltages need to meet specifications. The circuit under test might also be connected to earth or possibly floating.įor safety reasons, it is the user’s responsibility to understand the powering and grounding scheme and to make sure that there is a common GND reference between the Analog Discovery 2 and the circuit under test, and that the common mode and differential voltages do not exceed specifications. – which might also be grounded) the Analog Discovery 2 GND reference might be connected to the whole GND system and ultimately to the power network protection (earth ground). Depending on the PC powering scheme, and other PC connections (Ethernet, audio, etc. The Analog Discovery 2's GND reference is connected to the USB GND. ![]() Scope configurations can be saved, exported, and importedĭespite the fact that the Analog Discovery 2 analog input channels are fully differential, a GND connection to the circuit under test is required to provide a stable common mode voltage. For a walkthrough of the different features of WaveForms' Oscilloscope instrument, please visit the Using the Oscilloscope guide. Since the Analog Discovery 2's analog input channels are shared, the Oscilloscope instrument cannot be used at the same time as the Voltmeter, Data Logger, Spectrum Analyzer, Network Analyzer, or Impedance Analyzer instruments.įor more information on the analog input (“Scope”) channels, please visit the Analog Discovery 2 Specifications. The - pins can be attached to a non-ground circuit net, but the circuit under test must still share a common ground with the Analog Discovery 2. When used with MTE cables, the oscilloscope channels' + and - pins are differentially paired. With BNC cables, the analog input channels have a substantially higher bandwidth than with MTE cables. Please remember when using BNC cables that the oscilloscope channels are single-ended and the circuit under test must still share a common ground with the Analog Discovery 2. You can use the BNC Adapter to use BNC cables with the oscilloscope. When this instrument is used, the Analog Discovery 2's analog input channels act as a two-channel, 14-bit, 100 MS/s oscilloscope. The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' Oscilloscope instrument to capture analog input data via the analog input (“Scope”) channels, using either BNC cables or MTE cables.
