Analog Discovery Pro 2450 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope

Smart: The Analog Discovery Pro 2450 delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, cost-effective form factor. Designed for test engineers who need flexibility without sacrificing precision, these USB multi-instruments combine advanced mixed-signal capabilities with intuitive software integration. Whether you’re debugging embedded systems, validating circuit designs, or building custom automated workflows, the Analog Discovery Pro series ensures you have the right tools for the job.

Capable: The ADP2440 offers four analog input channels with 8-bit resolution, 200+ MHz bandwidth, and up to 1 GS/s interleaved sampling. It features ±25 V input range, 10 selectable hardware ranges, and advanced visualization options including FFT, Histogram, Persistence, Eye Diagram, and Analog-to-Digital plots. Complex triggering conditions—such as Edge, Pulse, Timeout, Glitch, Transition, and Window—give full analog control over signal capture.

Balanced: The Analog Discovery Pro series integrates a 14-bit arbitrary waveform generator with 15+ MHz bandwidth, supporting standard and custom waveforms, frequency sweeps, and modulation techniques like AM, FM, and PM. Additionally equipped with 16 digital I/O channels, plus protocol decoding and generation for SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, and more, these devices deliver true mixed-signal analysis in one platform. Dual Mode operation even allows two units to work together for 8 analog inputs, 32 digital I/O, and synchronized AWGs.

Engineered for modern workflows, the Analog Discovery Pro 2440 and 2450 series offers USB 3.2 connectivity, deep buffer memory with segmentation, and cross-triggering between instruments. Housed in a durable metal enclosure with DIN rail support, these devices are built for both benchtop and professional environments. Paired with Digilent’s WaveForms software and SDK for custom scripting, you’ll have the flexibility to automate, analyze, and innovate without limits.

When you need a real tool to solve real problems, trust the Analog Discovery Pro. Everything you need—without the distractions you don’t.

Software

What is WaveForms?

WaveForms is the free software application for the ADP2230 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.
