A Pocket-Sized USB Lab for Embedded Engineers (Giveaway)

Win an Analog Discovery 3 by entering the giveaway below!

The Digilent Analog Discovery 3 is a powerful, portable tool designed to give engineers full test bench functionality without the clutter. It combines an oscilloscope, waveform generator, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, voltmeter, and more into one compact USB-powered device.

At just a few inches across, this pocket-sized instrument is ideal for embedded engineers working in constrained spaces, students needing versatile test equipment, or professionals who want a reliable tool on the go.

Unlike traditional benchtop tools, the Analog Discovery 3 runs off USB and is powered by WaveForms, Digilent’s intuitive software platform. WaveForms allows users to control all instrument functions from their laptop, with real-time data visualisation, scriptable automation, and seamless switching between tools.

What’s Inside?

In our hands-on video, we unbox the Analog Discovery 3 and walk through the key features:

• 2-channel 100 MS/s Oscilloscope
• 2-channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator
• 16-channel Logic Analyzer and Pattern Generator
• Voltmeter, Protocol Analyzer (I2C, SPI, UART)

We also show how easy it is to output a sine wave and capture the result using the built-in oscilloscope and logic tools.

The Ideal Debug Companion

For developers prototyping embedded systems, testing new hardware, or debugging signals, the Analog Discovery 3 offers the functionality of an entire bench – without the bulk or cost. It’s also an ideal tool for educators and students needing high-quality lab gear for remote or in-class use.
