Analog Discovery Studio Max
Analog Discovery Studio Max
The Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max) is a comprehensive electronics laboratory solution designed for academic instruction and hands-on learning. Equipped with 14 built-in instruments, supporting everything from a multimeter and bode plots to digital protocol generation and analysis, the ADS Max is ideal for circuit design, signal analysis, and embedded systems coursework. With a variety of removable and curriculum tailored Canvas boards to enhance its functionality, the ADS Max enables dynamic, hands-on experiences in both classroom and remote learning environments.
One of the standout features of the ADS Max is its ability to facilitate seamless circuit prototyping. The device includes integrated power supplies and a breadboardable interface, enabling students to easily design and test circuits. This functionality is particularly beneficial for courses focused on circuit design, signal analysis, and embedded systems, where students can experiment with real-world applications and gain a deeper understanding of engineering principles.
The ADS Max is also designed to support a wide range of learning environments, from traditional classrooms and laboratories to remote learning setups. Its compact and comprehensive nature makes it ideal for students working from home or in limited lab spaces.
WaveForms is the free software application for the ADS Max and enables use of the available analog and digital instruments. The hardware device communicates with WaveForms via a USB connection to your computer, allowing users to capture, record, analyze, and generate mixed signal and mixed domain waveforms. WaveForms offers prebuilt instrument panels for immediate use, while APIs for LabVIEW, C, and Python allow for custom software development, providing flexibility for both instructors and students.
