Waveforms Software open-source

Is your open-source software WaveForms certified by Digilent?

Hi @Kenji,

WaveForms, https://digilent.com/reference/software/waveforms/waveforms-3/start, is not open source.

I'm not certain what you mean by certified in this context. Certified to do or be what?

Thanks,

Hi JColvn,

I saw it was open-source in the link below.

Certifying that the WaveForms open-source release is safe to use.

Hi @Kenji,

Ah I see. WaveForms Live, https://digilent.com/reference/software/waveforms-live/start, is a different software, but is no longer maintained by Digilent as the products that used it have been retired for several years. The source for it (also linked in the Resource Center), is available on the Digilent Github here: https://github.com/Digilent/waveforms-live.

As for the safe aspect, I don't know what you are thinking of specifically with regards to 'safe to use' nor am I an expert in web application safety to be able to offer accurate commentary, but for what it's worth the IT department NI (who owns Digilent) let the product be developed and released to the public.

Thanks,
JColvin
