What is WaveForms?

WaveForms is the free software application for the ADP3450 and ADP3250 and enables use of the available analog and digital instruments. The software has been refined by customer feedback for over 10 years and features a computer and laptop friendly user interface that has the feel of traditional benchtop software. The device communicates with WaveForms via a USB or ethernet connection to your computer, allowing users to capture, record, analyze, and generate mixed signal and mixed domain waveforms. WaveForms can be downloaded and installed in under 60 seconds and can be tested without hardware using its demo mode feature. In addition to the use of instruments in the application, the WaveForms application has a script editor tool, which allows custom scripting of the instrument in JavaScript. WaveForms is designed to be run on a laptop or desktop computer and is Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible.

For even more customization potential, the WaveForms Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to create custom applications and scripts in Python, C and additional languages. The ADP3450 and ADP3250 are also compatible with LabVIEW.

The following instruments are available in the WaveForms application for the ADP3450 and ADP3250:

• Oscilloscope
• Waveform Generator
• Power Supplies
• Voltmeter
• Data Logger
• Logic Analyzer

• Pattern Generator
• Static I/O
• Spectrum Analyzer
• Network Analyzer
• Impedance Analyzer
• Protocol Analyzer

What are the modes of operation?

For the ADP3450 and ADP3250, WaveForms also provides a convenient method for changing between the available modes: Standard Mode and Linux mode.

Standard Mode allows the ADP3450 and ADP3250 to be operated as a USB/Ethernet connected instrument, providing all the functionality of the 12 instruments in WaveForms.

The ADP3450 also has Linux Mode, which boots a terminal based Linux distribution onto the device itself. When running as an embedded device, the ADP3450 or ADP3250 adds additional flexibility and connectivity to WaveForms SDK. When scripts are run on the device data can be stored locally or streamed via a wired or wireless connection. The ADP3450 and ADP3250 also have four USB ports, that are enabled in Linux mode, allowing for the connection of peripherals, such as a WiFi dongle.
