WaveForms Software

Digilent's WaveForms software offers a unified device experience across all our Test and Measurement devices,
enabling use of all hardware features and instruments. It features a friendly user interface that has the feel of
traditional benchtop devices. WaveForms makes it easy to acquire, visualize, store, analyze, produce, and reuse
both analog and digital signals simultaneously.
For even more customization potential, the WaveForms Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to createcustom applications and scripts to control the T&M device in Python, C, and additional languages.
WaveForms is Windows, Mac, and Linux compatible.

2.1

Oscilloscope

The Oscilloscope instrument captures analog input data
via the analog input scope channels. When this instrument
is used, the ADP2230's analog input channels act as a twochannel, 14-bit, 125 MS/s oscilloscope. Multiple sample
and triggering modes are supported.

2.2

Waveform Generator

The Waveform Generator instrument can output analog
voltage waveforms. The instrument supports everythingfrom simple waveforms like Sine and Triangle waves, up
to more complicated functions like AM and FM
modulation. Custom sets of samples can be defined by theuser in applications like Excel and imported to
WaveForms.

2.3

Power Supplies

The ADP2230 has two variable power supply rails that canbe used to power circuits under test at up to 3 W per
channel. These rails can be set to voltage levels between
0.5 V to 5 V and -0.5 V to -5 V.

Analog Discovery Pro (ADP2230) Datasheet – Rev 1, January 2024

2.4

Voltmeter

The ADP2230's analog input pins can be used with
WaveForms' Voltmeter instrument to act as a simple
voltmeter. DC voltages, AC RMS voltages, and True RMS
voltages can be viewed for each of the two Scope
channels.

2.5

Data Logger

The Data Logger instrument can capture large buffers of
analog input data on the Scope pins. The Data Logger cancapture buffers of data at update rates of up to 10 samples
per second. The maximum duration of a log is dependent
on the update rate, but at the extreme, can run for over a
thousand hours.

2.6

Logic Analyzer

With the Logic Analyzer, the 16 digital input/output
channels are configured to capture high/low logic states.
These channels are capable of interfacing with 3.3 V logic
signals and are tolerant to voltages of up to 5V.
Individual input/output channels can be grouped as buses
and protocols. Protocol groups can be used to view thedecoded contents of packets of many common
communications protocols, including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN,
and I2S.
Signal states, decoded bus values, and decoded protocols
can be used to trigger a Logic Analyzer capture. Protocol
triggers include protocol-specific events, like start-oftransmission, end-of-transmission, or packet contents
matching a user-specified value.

2.7

Pattern Generator

The Pattern Generator can generate logic signal
sequences on the digital input/output pins. The pins canbe configured to be push/pull, open drain, open source, or
three-state logic. Sample rates can go as high as
125 MS/s.
Various patterns can be generated, including clocks,
random signals, multiple counter types, and fully custom
digital data. ROM logic can map digital input pins to digital
outputs, using user-defined truth tables.

2.8

Static I/O

The Static I/O instrument can emulate a variety of user
input/output devices on the digital input/output pins.
Virtual LEDs, buttons, switches, sliders, and displays canbe assigned to specific digital I/O pins and interacted withwithin the WaveForms user interface.

2.9

Spectrum Analyzer

The Spectrum Analyzer instrument is used to view thepower of frequency-domain components of analog signals
captured on the analog input channels. Cursors andautomatic measurements include noise floor, SFDR, SNR,
THD and more.

2.10 Network Analyzer
The Network Analyzer instrument can be used to view theamplitude and phase response of a circuit under test.
Bode, Nichols, and Nyquist plots can also be viewed withthis instrument. The Network Analyzer instrument uses
the analog output and analog input channels of the
ADP2230 to probe a test circuit, by generating a frequency
sweep and measuring the circuit’s response. The Network
Analyzer can be configured to use an external signal toprovide input to the circuit under test, rather than using
the analog output channels.

2.11 Impedance Analyzer
The Impedance Analyzer instrument is used to view awide variety of frequency response characteristics of acircuit under test. Input, Phase, Voltage, Current,
Impedance, Admittance, Inductance, Factor, and Nyquist
plots are all available. In addition, Custom plots can beused to present the results of a wide variety of different
mathematical operations on buffered data.

2.12 Protocol Analyzer
The Protocol Analyzer instrument generates and analyzes
common communications protocols. UART, SPI, I2C, CAN,
and various other kinds of transactions can be received,transmitted, and/or spied upon (depending on the
protocol) by the ADP2230 using any of the digital
input/output channels. Custom scripts can be written
within the Protocol Analyzer instrument to generatesequences of SPI or I2C transactions.

2.13 WaveForms Script Editor
Each of WaveForms' instruments can be controlled
through scripts within the WaveForms application itself.
WaveForms' “Script” instrument allows the user to write
and run JavaScript code that can control the rest of theapplication through an extensive API. This allows the user
to configure and run many instruments at the same time,in an easily repeatable way.

Extended Software Support

Digilent has created packages for both MATLAB and LabVIEW to provide users with flexibility in the environment
used for both data acquisition and subsequent analysis. Each offering provides a curated experience to let users thatare more comfortable in different development environments still have access to all the power contained within the
Analog Discovery Pro (ADP2230). Further customization and control of the ADP2230 can be done through Digilent's
WaveForms SDK, letting users create their own applications in C/C++, Python, C#, and Visual Basic.

For longer acquisitions, Record mode allows streaming acquisition data into host computer RAM (up to 200 MS) or
to a file on the host computer disk (theoretically unlimited) at potentially reduced rates. Achievable sample rates
and recording lengths depend on various factors, including host computer specifications and USB activity.
Note: Memory sizes, including buffer sizes, specified in units like kS and MS, are rounded from equivalent binary
power units, such as MiS. For example, a listed 64 MS is rounded from 64 MiS, which is 67,108,864 samples.

Digilent Part Number: 410-395 – Discovery USB Programmable Power Supply (DPS3340)
The DPS3340 is a three-channel variable DC programmable power supply that is well suited to professional
applications and can be used in conjunction with the ADP2230 to provide additional power to circuits under test. It
has 1 to 5 V, 1 to 15 V, and -1 V to -15 V channels that can deliver up to 3 A, 500 mA, and -500 mA, respectively.
Digilent Part Number: 240-136 – BNC to Minigrabber Cable
Digilent Part Number: 240-134 – BNC to Alligator Clip Cable
Use of one of these BNC cables is recommended for analog output. BNC Oscilloscope Probes should not be usedwith the AWG.
