Using a Discovery Power Supply with other Digilent Equipment
Introduction
This guide explains the use of the Discovery Power Supply with other Digilent equipment, like the Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250 inside of Waveforms. The Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250 has a Power Supplies instrument already, but by adding the Discovery Power Supply you get three additional supplies and a 5V supply with higher current output. Adding a Discovery Power Supply to your setup expands your capabilities as you are designing circuits.
Working with Multiple Instruments
–>Launching Waveforms#
With both devices hooked up to your PC via the included USB cables and turned on, launch Waveforms. At the Device Manager screen, you will see the list of Demo devices and the two devices that are plugged in. In this case, you see both the Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250 and the Discovery Power Supply listed. Highlight the Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250 first and click on the Select + button on the dialog box.
Now you can select the additional device to add to Waveforms.
Waveforms launches with the screen you are used to seeing. But you will noticed there is a new icon in the list. There is a Supplies Instrument, but that controls the power supply on the Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250. The Discovery Power Supply can be controlled by clicking on the Discovery Supplies icon.
