Something like the Analog Discovery 2 with 3-channel Waveform Generator

[Willibert]

Hi,

is it possible to purchase a device similar to the Analog Discovery 2 (https://digilent.com/reference/test-and-measurement/analog-discovery-2/start), but with 3 channels for the arbitrary waveform generator instead of 2.

Or is it possible to purchase 2x Analog Discovery 2 and synchronize both with a trigger in order to emulate a 3/4-channel device?

Any hint is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Willibert

Hi @Willibert

Only the EclypseZ7 with two Zmod AWGs provides 4 AWG channels.
This is mainly a development device but it can be used with WaveForms too.

Hi @Willibert

Multiple AD2s could be synchronized with the trigger IOs but each device having own oscillator the signals will shift over time, so periodic resynchronization is needed which will cause discontinuity.

Thanks for the hint... I will take a closer look at it.

Do you know if it is also possible to synchronize 2x "Analog Discovery 2" using some trigger to generate a 3/4-dimensional signal? Anyhow, the EclypseZ7 is maybe more suitable and cheaper than 2x "Analog Discovery 2".
