 +=== 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.//
