Analog Discovery 2: For real engineering challenges

Conrad Business Supplies has announced the immediate availability of Analog Discovery 2, a high-performance, pocket-sized, all-in-one USB oscilloscope from Digilent, a National Instruments company.

Analog Discovery 2 is the most affordable all-in-one instrument with the performance and flexibility required for real engineering challenges.

The extremely versatile two-channel USB digital oscilloscope (14-bit, 100 Msamples/sec) boasts a huge array of in-built instrumentation supported by powerful multi-instrument software.

Built into the pocket-sized package is a 16-channel digital logic analyzer and a 16-channel pattern generator, both operating at 100Msample/sec. Alongside this, the Analog Discovery 2 includes a data logger, network analyzer and spectrum analyzer as well as 16 channels of virtual digital I/O for logic training applications.

The free and included Waveforms 2015 software permits connection to any Mac OS X, Linux or Windows computer to acquire, visualize, store, analyze, produce and reuse analog and digital signals.

Makers and hobbyists can debug embedded systems, electronics, robotics or sensors while engineers and designers can perform automated testing and control with LabVIEW and Python drivers.

Tim Schlecht, Product Manager at Conrad Business Supplies commented: “We are very excited to be adding the USB digital oscilloscope to our product range. This is the most flexible all-in-one instrument on the market at this affordable price point and we expect a lot of customer interest.”

Steve Johnson, President at Digilent added: “Users can start engineering on their schedule with Digilent Instrumentation. Modern engineers have to balance dynamic work environments without sacrificing technical standards. Analog Discovery 2 allows them to do exactly that.”
