The new Digilent Analog Discovery 3 is a digital oscilloscope, logic analyzer, waveform generator, pattern generator, and much more. Using the included WaveForms software (supported by Windows, Mac, and Linux), the Analog Discovery 3 can be used in the lab, in the field, or even at home as any number of test instruments that you might have to buy separately on a traditional benchtop.
Like its predecessor, the Analog Discovery 3 is a portable USB-powered test and measurement device, though it now features an upgraded USB-C connection. It’s lightweight and small enough to fit in your pocket or backpack, so it becomes an exceptional companion for any engineer.
This iteration of our most popular Analog Discovery digital oscilloscope also allows engineers access to two new powerful features in WaveForms: the FIR (finite impulse response) Filter and the PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) Controller. Through the use of optional FIR filters on Oscilloscope input channels, users can reduce the amount of high frequency noise that could affect the quality of their measurements. The PID Controller allows the control of an output of a signal based on the response of your system.
