Introduction

The Analog Discovery design kit is the first in a new line of all-in-one analog design kits that will

enable engineering students to quickly and easily experiment with advanced technologies and

build and test real-world, functional analog design circuits anytime, anywhere - right on their PCs.

For the price of a textbook, students can purchase a low-cost analog hardware development

platform and components, with access to downloadable teaching materials, reference designs and

lab projects to design and implement analog circuits as a supplement to their core engineering

curriculum.

Engineering schools have traditionally had to build and maintain centralized teaching labs. These

labs, with their specialized equipment and trained lab assistants, are expensive and hard to

maintain. For these you can go with Analog Discovery which is portable.

Features:

Dual Channel Oscilloscope

Function Generator

16 channel logic analyzer

Dual power supplies

USB powered

Capable of measuring, recording and generating a wide variety of signals

Step 21:

Changing the channel using “select channel icon”

Step 22:

After the making changes in the frequency and amplitude RUN the AWG1 then you

will get sine wave with corresponding amplitude and frequency.
