Capability Question on Simple Project Using Analog Discovery 2 Pro Bundle

[Digilent Enthusiast]

Hi Digilent,

I am thinking of purchasing the Discovery 2 and had some questions, please see attached documents for more information.
 

• I understand you guys have a software that acts as a waveform generator?
  • If true, I believe it can perform loop-able primitive waveform signals, correct? Like sine, square, saw tooth, etc
  • Can I create complex waveforms in the software? My attached document shows examples, 1HZ >100HZ
• Produce a consistent voltage strength stepped to 1.25mA, 1.5mA, 1.75mA, and 2mA?

In the document "Programmatic Waveform Gen..." I explain my desired result in the box on the right, in lowest box.

I sincerely appreciate your help and consultation. Hopefully the product can support my endeavor!

Hi @Digilent Enthusiast

I think it can do all you need, but I don't understand the 1.25-2mA requirement. The AD2 AWGs can provide 10mA...50mA with zero output impedance.

You can explore the software and device features in demo mode:

HI Attila, thank you for the feedback. The output which will almost always be 2mA... you are implying the system can't limit to the 2mA and should use a resistor to accomplish, correct?

Hi @Digilent Enthusiast

Yes, since the AWGs output signal/waveform as voltage, with 10-50mA drive.
