Digilent AD-CPA Analog Discovery Current and Power Adapter

Digilent AD-CPA Analog Discovery Current and Power Adapter

The Digilent Analog Discovery Current and Power Adapter (410-426) extends the capabilities of Analog Discovery devices with external circuitry to enable current measurement. Users can visualize current, voltage, and power in DC and AC circuits. The adaptor is connected to the Analog Discovery 3 through the 2x15 MTE connector and placed between the source and load. The Digilent WaveForms software can be used to visualize current, voltage, and power in DC and AC circuits.

A reference WaveForms workspace with premade calculations to determine a variety of measurements including average current, reactive power, the phase shift of current relative to voltage, and more is freely available to provide users with a set of baseline calculations that can be determined with the Current and Power Adapter.

• Measure DC and AC signals.
• Adjustable current and voltage range scaling.
• Low value shunt resistor and programmable gain current sense amplifier.
• Voltage and current ranges of ±25 V and ±25 A.
• Compatible with the AD2 and AD3: Effortless migration. The AD3 and AD2 share the same 2x15 header. This allows for existing workspaces using the AD2 to be quickly and easily migrated to the AD3 (and vice versa).
• Dimensions (mm): 70 x 63 x 13; extended binding post height 39.
