Hands-On Exploration Made Accessible

The core of this learning experience is the Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max), a powerful platform that combines multiple essential lab instruments into a single device. By integrating it with a user-friendly LabVIEW interface, we’ve created an environment that encourages experimentation and discovery.

Students will be able to:

  • Quickly set up experiments:The ADS Max connects easily, and our LabVIEW interface provides a clear and intuitive way to control the instruments and acquire data.
  • Visualize results instantly:See the impact of component values and circuit configurations on performance in real-time graphs and measurements.
  • Compare theoretical predictions with real-world data:Reinforce their understanding by seeing how their calculations align with actual circuit behavior.

Key Benefits for Students and Educators:

  • Versatile Hardware: The ADS Max provides a comprehensive set of tools for a wide range of electrical engineering experiments.
  • Practical Application: Focuses on real-world circuit analysis, specifically filter design and analysis.
  • Intuitive Software Integration: NI LabVIEW provides a graphical programming environment that simplifies instrument control and data acquisition.
  • Real-time Feedback: Students see the immediate impact of their changes, fostering a deeper understanding of circuit behavior.
  • Enhanced Data Visualization: LabVIEW clearly displays measured data alongside theoretical expectations, aiding in comprehension.
  • Increased Software Proficiency: Introduces students to the power and flexibility of industry-standard software like LabVIEW.

Designed for Effective Engineering Education:

  • Undergraduate Electrical Engineering Students:Providing essential practical experience.
  • Electrical Engineering Educators: Offering an engaging and effective lab activity.
  • Anyone Interested in Hands-On Electronics:Providing a practical introduction to circuit analysis.

By providing a tangible and interactive way to explore fundamental electrical engineering principles, we aim to empower the next generation of innovative engineers with the practical skills they need to succeed.

A little known facts on Analog Discovery Studio Max

In less than 120 words, when Digilent makes a cheaper version of the ELVIS III, what can you expect?

An advanced Analog Discovery Studio now with:

– Double the Oscilloscope channels (now four) with 50 MHz of bandwidth

– Double the Canvas size for more in-depth possibilities

– Integrated DMM and IV Analyzer

Compared to NI ELVIS III,ADS Max does not have followings:

– No direct measurements for 8 additional slow analog inputs

– Only 16/24 controllable high speed I/O, not 16 high speed and 40 slow speed I/O

– No Ethernet nor NI Linux Real-Time OS
