====== Getting Started with the Analog Discovery Canvas ======

{{:reference:test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-studio:canvases:analog-discovery-canvas:adccircuit.jpg|}}

===== Introduction =====

This guide explains the use of the Analog Discovery Canvas with the Analog Discovery Studio or the Analog Discovery 2. The Analog Discovery Canvas is used to host user designed circuitry and connects to the Analog Discovery Studio through the magnets beneath each of the four standoffs in the corners of the Analog Discovery Canvas. The Analog Discovery Canvas includes the following features:

  * Two 630 tie-point solderless breadboards
  * 24 tie-point solderless breadboard for Analog Discovery I/O connections
  * Two 24 tie-point solderless breadboard for Shared Digital I/O connections
  * 24 tie-point solderless breadboard for Analog Discovery Studio output connections
  * 2x15 connector to make a connection with an Analog Discovery
  * 2x10 connector to plug into the Analog Discovery Studio
  * 4 power switches to turn on / off the power supplies
  * 6 green LEDs for power supply indication

The following are only for use with the Analog Discovery 2 (not connected to the Analog Discovery Studio)
  * 2 wire harness to plug into Oscilloscope 1
  * 2 wire harness to plug into Oscilloscope 2
  * 2 wire harness to plug into Wavegen Out 1
  * 2 wire harness to plug into Wavegen Out 2

===== Connecting the Analog Discovery Canvas to your Device =====

In this first section, we will show you how to use the Analog Discovery Canvas with the Analog Discovery Studio or Analog Discovery 2.  Open the corresponding dropdown for instructions on how to connect the devices to the canvas.

Plug the Analog Discovery Studio into power and attach the USB cable.  When you turn the Analog Discovery Studio on, the onboard **GREEN** LED will illuminate.  If any of the power rail switches on the Analog Discovery Studio Canvas are turned on, the power supply LEDs on the far right of the canvas will illuminate.

===== Next Steps =====
Now that the canvas is connected to your device, you can begin using your device largely as you would before, access to Analog Discovery 2 pins are entirely provided through the canvas, while for the Analog Discovery Studio, you will still use the BNC probes or MTE cables for connection to the Oscilloscope and Wavegen instruments.
