Hi Jon,

Very good review! It's a very unique product, since there is no other SMU-like device in this price-bracket, and the performance is excellent, although its Achilles heel is the limited ranges (which are nevertheless perfect for training, and for small battery-powered projects and so on!).

The latest ADALM product is missing features that are present in the ADALM1000, so anyone purchasing the new unit can still benefit from the '1000. They pretty much got rid of all the current-sourcing and current measuring capabilities that were in the '1000.

It is interesting seeing ALICE, I don't think that was available when I first tried the ADALM1000. The Python library that you mention sounds very interesting too, since as you say, the PixelPulse software is quite basic. You're not missing any buttons, that was just my old screenshots from Linux, which were capturing the entire Linux UI too, and I didn't chop it off at the time. PixelPulse looks nice, but feels like a demo program sometimes.

Wonderful demonstration and blog.

Does the IV plot for a 1n4148 show 5mA at 200 mV ? Or perhaps I'm not reading the graph correctly...

Nice blog. I just might have to get one of these or the gen version.

Nice overview.

Are you going to provide a more indepth type of testing?
