I just got the mail about the upcoming Analog Discovery 3. Interesting.
I'm mostly interested in the raw performance of this thing...
What sample rate can it sustain when pushing data to a single DAC channel via USB, in playback mode? What can it do to two synchronized DAC channels, assuming a PC that is not the bottleneck?
What sample rate can it sustain when pulling data from a single ADC channel via USB, in record mode? What can it sustain when pulling data from both ADC channels simultaneously, assuming a PC that is not the bottleneck?
I hope that these numbers are significantly improved when compared to the performance of the AD2.
I would also be interested in the different configurations it supports (in terms of memory allocated to the different instruments).
Lastly, how difficult is it to open the enclosure and taking out the PCB?
In the AD2, it was just a matter of unscrewing a few screws but the new enclosure doesn't show any. Since the connection to the external BNC breakout is rather clunky/flimsy, I have gotten into the habit of 3D-printing an enclosure that can take a joint AD2 and BNC breakout board as shown below:
