Digilent's WaveForms application provides a user interface to the Analog Discovery Pro (ADP5250). Please download the WaveForms Windows installer. If WaveForms is already installed, please make sure that it is up to date (version 3.16.32 or later).

Check theInventorysection, above, for the download link.

In Standard Mode

Plug the Analog Discovery Pro’s power supply into an outlet, then plug the power supply into the Analog Discovery Pro.

Plug the Analog Discovery Pro into the computer via the USB cable.

Flip the Analog Discovery Pro power switch to the on position, on the left side of the unit. The green “power good” indicatorLEDon the front of the device (far left side) will turn on.

Launch the WaveForms application and open the Device Manager, with the device connected to the host computer through USB. ClickUpdate Deviceto have WaveForms automatically update the firmware.

If this button doesn't appear, the device firmware is up to date.

WaveForms will tell you not to power off or unplug the device while it is updating. ClickYesto continue.

Once the update is complete, clickOKto confirm and reboot the device.

1.

If you haven't yet, plug the Analog Discovery Pro’s power supply into an outlet, then plug the power supply into the Analog Discovery Pro.

2.

Plug the Analog Discovery Pro into the computer via the USB cable.

3.

4.

Take a BNC oscilloscope probe and connect it to the BNC connector labelled AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generatorn) Analog Discovery Set the scope probe's attenuation to 1x.

---

5.

Launch the WaveForms application. Upon launch, WaveForms will automatically detect and connect to the Analog Discovery Pro in the Device Manager. If the Analog Discovery Pro is not connected to the host computer when WaveForms launches, plug in the device and turn it on, at which point it will appear in the Device Manager’s device list.

If your device doesn't show up, you can click theRefresh Stoppedbutton to have WaveForms begin automatically refreshing the list of devices.

If anUpdate Devicebutton is visible after selecting the device,update the firmwareprior to doing anything else. After updating the firmware, select the Device and then clickSelectto continue.
