Digilent Analog Discovery Studio - The Portable Circuits Laboratory for Everyone
The Digilent Analog Discovery Studio provides an entire stack of benchtop instruments with a convenient breadboardable interface. The Analog Discovery Studio is a fully-functional portable test and measurement device that can turn any cross-functional space into a pop-up electronics laboratory. Equipped with 13 instruments including an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, waveform generator, and more, the Analog Discovery Studio is perfect for enabling circuit design anywhere. Users can access the oscilloscope and waveform generators via breadboardable MTE cables, or industry standard BNC cables, and the logic analyzer, pattern generator, and triggers can be accessed via MTE cables. Circuits or designs can be built on the included, magnetically connected breadboard canvas and conveniently swapped out or removed for transit. The breadboard canvas also includes power supply outputs controlled by physical switches, common I/O built-in, and a large breadboardable surface.
- Combines 13 instruments, including oscilloscope, waveform generator, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and power supplies, in a compact benchtop setup.
- Included, magnetically connected breadboard canvas for circuits or designs.
- Access to oscilloscope and waveform generators: Breadboardable MTE cables, or industry standard BNC cables. Channel type: differential (with MTE) or single-ended (with BNC) Access to logic analyzer, pattern generator, and triggers: MTE cables.
- Breadboard canvas includes power supply outputs controlled by physical switches, common I/O built-in, and a large breadboardable surface.
