Analog Discovery Pro 3000 Series: Portable High
Resolution Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
Provide the utility of professional benchtop equipment with the flexibility of a portable
instrument
Product Description
ADP 3450 and ADP3250, in the line of Analog Discovery Pro devices, offers 4 channels (ADP3450) / 2 channels
(ADP3250) analog input with 14-bit resolution at up to 0.5 GS/s. Additionally, to meet the needs of an increasingly
digital world, 16 dedicated digital channels make the ADP3450 a true mixed signal oscilloscope. With the included
digital power supply, digital outputs, two channel arbitrary waveform generator, and two dedicated external
triggers Analog Discovery Pro comes with 12 instruments ready to analyze mixed signal systems through our free
software, WaveForms.
• Oscilloscope
• Power Supplies
• Data Logger
• Pattern Generator
• Spectrum Analyzer
• Impedance Analyzer
Test your systems in Linux environment
Analog Discovery Pro introduces Linux Mode. Linux Mode provides an on-device terminal-based operating system
that, when combined with WaveForms SDK, is a flexible starting point for all kinds of custom tests and
applications. Running embedded on the device itself or via WaveForms, engineers and measurement enthusiasts
alike can take advantage of data streaming via ethernet, and the on-device storage to capture buffers of millions of
samples.
• Waveform Generator
• Voltmeter
• Logic Analyzer
• Static I/O
• Network Analyzer
• Protocol Analyzer
Advanced Trigger Modes
Analog Discovery Pro features a variety of advanced triggering options. Instruments within WaveForms can be
cross-triggered for example, activating an oscilloscope capture based on a received and decoded digital protocol.
And external signals can trigger events using the two dedicated external trigger inputs on the back of the device.
WaveForms provides these features configurable in the instruments themselves, or for more control or
automation in one of the available scripting interfaces

WaveForms Software Applications
WaveForms is the free software application for the ADP3450 and ADP3250 and enables use of the available analog
and digital instruments. The software has been refined by customer feedback for over 10 years and features a
computer and laptop friendly user interface that has the feel of traditional benchtop software. The device
communicates with WaveForms via a USB or ethernet connection to your computer, allowing users to capture,
record, analyze, and generate mixed signal and mixed domain waveforms. WaveForms can be downloaded and
installed in under 60 seconds and can be tested without hardware using its demo mode feature. In addition to the
use of instruments in the application, the WaveForms application has a script editor tool, which allows custom
scripting of the instrument in JavaScript. WaveForms is designed to be run on a laptop or desktop computer and is
Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible. WaveForms SDK is a set of software libraries and examples that can be used
to develop custom applications that can control Digilent Test and Measurement devices. Supported languages
include C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, and Python. Third-party toolkits are available for LabVIEW and MATLAB. Instructions
for using WaveForms with LabVIEW are available through our guide Getting Started with LabVIEW and a Test and
Measurement Device. More information about WaveForms SDK can be found through the WaveForms SDK
Resource Center.
