 -->Can the Analog Discovery 2 do any digital processing?# -->Can the Analog Discovery 2 do any digital processing?#
-Absolutely! The Analog Discovery 2 is a full-featured engineering USB laboratory. It includes analog tools such as the Oscilloscope, Waveform Generator, Network Analyzer, and Spectrum Analyzer. It also includes digital tools such as the Pattern Generator, Logic Analyzer, Static I/O, and Data Logger. In addition, the Analog Discovery 2 provides variable Power Supplies. If you need a tool for higher speed digital signals, the [[https://store.digilentinc.com/digital-discovery-portable-logic-analyzer-and-digital-pattern-generator/|Digital Discovery]] may be a better fit.+Absolutely!
