==== Overview ====

WaveForms is the virtual instrument suite for Electronics Explorer, Digital Discovery, Analog Discovery, Analog Discovery 2 and Analog Discovery Studio devices.\\
It configures, calibrates, and controls the Test and Measurements various devices. Through WaveForms you have access to all the board's Instruments.
Go to the [[software:waveforms:waveforms-3:start|WaveForms Resource Center]] and download the latest version of WaveForms.

=== Choose Components ===
In the "Choose Components" screen, a list is presented of each of the things that can be installed. In order to use the Analog Discovery 2 with the WaveForms application, the Adept Runtime, WaveForms Runtime, and WaveForms Application are required.
  * The Adept Runtime allows WaveForms to communicate with the Analog Discovery 2, Analog Discovery, Analog Discovery Studio, Digital Discovery, and Electronics Explorer Board.
  * The WaveForms Runtime contains a library and device support files needed to run custom applications.
  * The WaveForms Application is the Digilent virtual instrumentation interface.
  * The WaveForms SDK is the software development kit for creating custom applications.
  * If you have an ADP5250, make sure to check the box for its driver installation, to ensure that your PC will be able to communicate with the device.
**Note:** //Even with all components selected, the WaveForms install does not take much hard drive space (<200MB). Digilent recommends that all components are installed.//

<WRAP group>
<WRAP column half>
The WaveForms app has not yet been ported to run on Mac computers with Apple Silicon.  Apple has provided a translation framework called [[https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861|Rosetta2]] which allows programs like WaveForms that were written for Intel processors to run on Apple Silicon Macs.  When you attempt to run WaveForms, you may be prompted to install Rosetta in order to open the app.  Click install and enter your user name and password to allow the installation process to proceed.  Rosetta will then be ready to run the WaveForms application or any other software originally written for Intel processors.

<WRAP group>
First, download the package for the [[software:adept:start|Adept Runtime]]. This program is required for WaveForms to connect to the Analog Discovery 2 and must be installed prior to installing WaveForms.\\
For systems using **.deb packages**, (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc), use the built-in package manager to install the Adept Runtime and then WaveForms - typically, a package manager can be opened by double-clicking on the file in question. \\

<WRAP group><WRAP column half>
=== Download Adept Runtime ===

  * Download the correct version of Adept. The link for Adept downloads is located [[/digilent_adept_2|here]].
  * Make sure the version of the Adept install file is the same as WaveForms. I used the 64 bit RPM for WaveForms so I will use the 64 bit RPM for Adept.

--> Install Files using command line #
Alternatively, use the following set of commands in the terminal to install the Adept Runtime and WaveForms from the downloaded packages:

<code>
sudo dpkg -i <path to Adept Runtime .deb file>
sudo dpkg -i <path to WaveForms .deb file>
sudo apt-get install -f
</code>
<--

For systems using **.rpm packages**, (Red Hat Linux, etc), use the following set of commands in the terminal to install the Adept Runtime and WaveForms from the downloaded packages:

<code>
sudo rpm -i <path to Adept Runtime .rpm file>
sudo rpm -i <path to WaveForms .rpm file>
</code>

If WaveForms has already been installed on the system, replace the "-i" flag passed to the rpm command with "-U" to upgrade the existing installation.

For technical support with installing WaveForms on various Linux distributions, please visit to the Scopes and Instruments section of the [[https://forum.digilentinc.com|Digilent Forum]].
