The Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250 is a multifunctional programmable and easy-to-use measuring station. It is designed to combine a complete set of instruments into a flexible and programmable device. It is equipped with a mixed-signal oscilloscope with two analog channels with 100 MHz bandwidth sampled at 1 GS/s, 34 digital channels, a three-output power supply with 25 V output voltage, an external trigger, a waveform generator and a built-in programmable digital multimeter.

It is the first device with full digital multimeter capabilities, including real current and resistance measurement and an input range of 300 V.

Kit contents

The kit includes:
- ADP5250 unit
- USB A-B cable
- 1x14 digital I/O screw terminal adapter
- 1x6 power supply screw terminal adapter
- 2x18 logic state analyzer MTE cable
- US IEC cable
- EU adapter
- UK adapter

It is possible to choose a kit augmented with a probe package. It additionally includes 2 P2150 150 MHz oscilloscope probes, 2 BNC to Mini-grabber cable, 1 set of red and black DMM probes.

Best comprehensive test system

The Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250 offers a number of advanced triggering options. Instruments in WaveForms can be cross-triggered, for example by activating an oscilloscope capture based on a received and decoded digital protocol. In addition, external signals can trigger events via a dedicated external trigger input/output.

The free WaveForms software provides these features configurable in the instruments themselves or for greater control or automation in one of the available scripting interfaces.

Those familiar with NI will notice the appearance and hardware features similar to VirtualBench VB-8012. The ADP5250 is NI's high-quality hardware, combined with the WaveForms software suite to provide the highest quality testing.

The ADP5250 works with Windows.
