Digilent 410-435 Analog Discovery Studio Max: Multi-Instrument Lab for Engineering Experimentation

The Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max) is your all-in-one electronics lab solution, perfect for teaching and learning. It is like having 14 essential test instruments—from an oscilloscope, waveform generator, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, digital multimeter, power supplies, to a protocol analyzer—all packed into one portable device. Plus, with the LabVIEW WaveForms Toolkit, it easily connects data gathering with LabVIEW's powerful analysis features, making things straightforward and intuitive for students and instructors alike.

One distinct advantage of the ADS Max is how easily it supports circuit prototyping. It comes equipped with built-in power supplies and a convenient breadboard interface, so students can quickly design and test their circuits without hassle. This makes it especially valuable for courses on circuit design, signal analysis, and embedded systems, letting students dive right into hands-on experimentation and really grasp those key engineering concepts.

Another ADS Max highlight is its versatility in different learning setups—whether in traditional classrooms, labs, or even remotely from home. Its compact yet comprehensive design makes it perfect for home learning or labs with limited space. Plus, the Digilent WaveForms software provides ready-to-go instrument panels so students can start working right away, while APIs for LabVIEW, C, and Python allow for customizing software, giving both teachers and students extra flexibility.

The ADS Max also fits into a broader educational environment alongside tools like the Canvas Max and other specialized resources developed by educators. This enhances the ADS Max, offering ready-made materials for various engineering areas like wireless communications, power electronics, and digital circuits. Within this framework, educators can build interactive and exciting learning experiences tailored to a variety of teaching styles and student goals.

WaveForms Software

Digilent's free WaveForms software offers a complete device experience across all of its Test and Measurement devices, enabling use of all hardware features and instruments. It features a friendly user interface that has the feel of traditional benchtop devices. WaveForms makes it easy to acquire, visualize, store, analyze, produce, and reuse both analog and digital signals simultaneously.

For even more customization potential, the free WaveForms Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to create custom applications and scripts to control the T&M device in Python, C, and additional languages.

WaveForms is Windows, Mac, and Linux compatible.
