We used the AD1 and AD2 in school and it was awesome. We had to do all our labwork with benchtop equipment and using the portable AD / handheld DMM. I got the student discount. If you live near a school you can get a used one from a student for cheap. I still recommend it to any hobbyist starting out because it can do almost anything you would need to do for just beginning. Once you know what you like to do you can upgrade to a better scope, add another power supply, get a benchtop dmm, whatever. I use mine frequently even though I have a full lab downstairs because it's easy to use and very handy to set stuff up quickly and is more than enough to do the work that I do most often.

With the "Always ON" option, the device does not restart and indicates the USB voltage after disconnecting the AUX due to the minimal back-power of the AUX eFuse. - Thank you for the review and noticing the "C4" typo in Wavegen/Type.

Hi Dave, I got the AD3 last week. I'm really impressed with it. Was just about to plug it in the measure the output of a HP8011A pulse generator that was just delivered from eBay. A bit pricy buy recommended. Waveforms is the icing on the cake. Oh, and I also got the transistor curve tracer thingy that I was playing with over the 4th July weekend. The Waverforms tracer app takes some getting used to but does as advertised.

While my school used all traditional lab equipment, I now have an AD2 sitting right next to all the "real" test equipment at work. It get's used all the time for tasks that it can just do better than equipment costing 25 times as much. I wouldn't want to use a PC scope as my daily driver, but in a world where the brand name scopes still charge you $1500 for a serial decode option this just puts them all to shame. The ability to tie the instruments together to make an integrated test or cross-trigger is invaluable. I've also found the scripting via the waveforms Python API is really useful.

@Anthocyanina Жыл бұрын
this was cool, but it seemed more like a review of waveforms(which once you get to know it, it becomes super intuitive and comfortable to use, to me, the best usb scope software). pretty much all the same things can be done with the AD2, but of course, within the limits of the hardware. it would be really cool to see a direct comparison between the AD2 and AD3, in things like waveform update rate(they have trigger outputs), noise level differences, since the AD3 has an updated frontend, changes in the spectrum analyzer mode, bode plot(is it faster, can it provide more accurate phase readings at very low amplitudes because of a potentially lower noise floor?) check the impedance analyzer perhaps? with front end changes it might get more accurate results too? I won a giveaway last year for the AD2, and for my small projects, and school labs, it has become my most used instrument, and i like it enough that, if the AD3 is a good enough upgrade, i would like to save to eventually be able to buy one, but beyond on-paper specs, there isn't any comparison between the two anywhere so far. thanks dave.

This looks more like 'mid' refresh like they have on cars. While the new stuff looks nice, they could have benefited a lot more. Firstly BW to 25Mhz should not be hard, also sampling memory (and that would make USB3 actually viable). Edit: Oof, no USB PD... They could just add a cheap ARM cpu to drive a decent web interface with all the bells and whistles. Finally my gripe. You cant pay this much for essential software. Imagine you give this to some kid 10 years from now, whats the odds the software will still work or being supported?

Also: out students have enough problems finding the correct frequency range button on the front of a function generator... how should they find their way through these infinite possibilities, which you explored during the video?

Dave's reaction to this was certainly a rollercoaster between "I Love It" and "It ain't as good as a lab full of $$$ equipment." A long time ago when I was first learning electronics without any test equipment or formal training this device would have allowed me to bring to life much of what I read in books. Present day as a hobbyist with an interest in but not passion for electronics this could be an adequate substitute for benchtop equipment costing several times as much on the used market. And it can be stuffed into a backpack with a judicious assortment of parts and a laptop so that you could have a lab in a hotel room, in an RV or even on a boat. All in all it is fair to compare this to dedicated instruments only as far as bang for the buck. It was never intended to fully replace benchtop instruments or meet the requirements of practicing EE's, but is geared for makers, high school or college students and those who have an interest in basic electronics for a hobby. For those people it sure gives a lot of bang for just a few bucks. The question unanswered is can you use it for learning to program FPGAs?

I think this software and idea preceded the very low cost single board scopes which became widely available. I suppose it was only useful for early educational purposes, eliminating the need to buy a scope for some simple demonstrations.

I just love when people explain away the exorbitant price with 'the value is in the software'. The development cost of software is the same if you sell 1 unit or 1 million units. So no, that is not what determines the price in the end. Oh sure they will want to recuperate the cost of said software through the sales, that is a given. But the price determination is done by a bunch of number crunchers who just sit there and decide how high they can make the price for it to still sell.

Can this Analog Discovery 3 work with a frequency of 7 MHz (40 meter amateur radio band which is 7 - 7.3 in the USA or 7 - 7.2 in other regions) with the oscilloscope, signal generator, spectrum analyzer, and impedance analyzer? Example - generate a 7 MHz sinewave with the signal generator and/or measure a 7 MHz signal from a radio. Of course, I would imagine I would need an attenuator so I do destroy the Analog Discovery.

It is not really important, but there was a super bt878 (tv decoder) (fusion 878A) chip that had a 2M sample rate at 16 bit if you modded the linux kernel (or module is easier). For some reason they built that into the audio sampler, not the video sampler, and that datasheet says it can be used for 'other applications'. So I guess the idea is if you use a digital audio sampler upstream you get a high bandwidth ADC unused. So I guess you could turn that into a 1M sampler, but there is no front end, so the headroom is whatever voltage as it was. I modded a card I have here, but never used it for anything. I think the input was on the audio pin of the 878. Think it was covered by the alsa 878 driver.

An USB rtl-sdr in direct sampling mode might also do 2.4 MS/s

I just got a Rigol DS1054Z (my first real oscilloscope! Woot! Now if only I had even a tiny inkling of how to use the damn thing....I don't even know where to start!) like two weeks ago and I've had this Chinese clone of a 16-channel signal analyzer for years now and yeah, those are two entirely different kinds of tools for entirely different needs. With the signal analyzer I can easily capture and decode the signal from like 50 different protocols with just a few clicks of the mouse, easily being able to really see what is happening at a protocol level -- the scope only has support for three protocols, I think, and it's nowhere near as friendly as a good, mouse-driven UI for such. The signal analyzer is entirely useless for any analog probing, though.

It would be even better if they built in a logic analyzer and named it the "Analog and Digital Discovery" :)

There is a 16 channel 125 MS/s built-in logic analyzer! The Digital Discovery one is just faster and has double the channels.

Remember looking at the previous version and feeling it was overpriced for the performance plus the software looked a bit iffy. Buy a Picoscope for less but with a greater bandwidth...
