Digilent Analog Discovery 2

The Digilent Analog Discovery 2 is a pocket-sized USB multi-function instrument that combines an oscilloscope, function generator, logic analyser, power supplies, and more into a single device. Developed in conjunction with Analog Devices and supported by the Xilinx University Program, it replaces a full bench of lab equipment for mixed-signal circuit analysis.

Driven by the free WaveForms software (Mac, Linux, and Windows), the Analog Discovery 2 can be configured as any of its built-in instruments. Connect to circuits using the included flywire signal cable assembly.
