I blew my first scope up about a week after buying it (because I'm an idiot). Afterwards, I bought another scope but this time with more features - it is now one of my prized possesions. Recently, I blew up a super sensitive and expensive RF probe for one of my RF test sets (because I'm an idiot). - I am still saving to buy a replacement. Something is preventing me from really getting behind the idea of multiple instruments in one box - The idea that if you lose one, you lose them all. I also tend not to get on with PC controlled devices, preferring local UI. These sorts of things also seem very expensive compared to traditional instruments. They seem to be aimed at the university market where a tutor can be in another country and remote in to the host PC. Don't listen to me though (because I'm an idiot).
Like I mention towards the end of the video, I completely agree that unless you actually need the extra bandwidth and buffer size the 2230 has then definitely stick with the AD3.
If I remember correctly, they used an unusual bandwidth definition for the Analog Discovery. I suspect that the bandwidth difference between Analog Discovery [,2,3] and ADP2230 is not significant. I am disappointed with the ADP2230. The large memory is nice, and USB 3 is nice. But you can no longer use the Curvetracer application. You lose the differential inputs. It still works with digital zoom. Why not get a new, affordable 12-bit oscillograph? The advantage of the Analog Discovery [,2,3] for me is that it's a small lab. The flywire is ideal for working with breadboards. The differential inputs are useful for analyzing circuits in teaching. With the new WaveForms and two AD 3 you get an oscillograph with four differential channels and four generators and I think four voltage sources. That's nice. Somehow the ADP2230 is neither meat nor fish. Where is the area of application? A funny effect. The AD [,2,3] has 30 pins and there are five 6 pin male headers to change the gender. The ADP2230 has 32 pins and also five 6 pin male headers to change the gender. Nobody seems to have noticed this yet. But maybe you don't need ten ground connections. What also bothers me, is that many computers have few USB-C sockets. The ADP2230 comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Why is that? Many therefore need an additional adapter and I know from experience that many of these adapters are only capable of USB 2, even if they are offered as USB 3. I also find it very frustrating, when you have bought an ADP2230 and when you get it and are already looking forward to it, you realize that you can't connect it at all and have to wait until you get an adapter.
Hi Whitney i am 2024 grad and worked with raspberry pi and heard About FPGA little while ago do you have any info on any connector FPGA Boards that will work with raspberry pi
That shirt seems familiar...
Bobby dazzler!
how am I just now finding your channel. awesome vid's!
Great video. Thanks!
Great take on the ADP2230, thank you! Oh, and nice T-shirt by the way! 😉
Good job..🎉
Nice piece of test gear 😊😊

Too much of a price gap for too close of a product. Glad I went with the AD3 for now.

I have the same shirt!
This reminded me I need to rewatch that video on making an oscilloscope.

Did you programmed with python before? Using waveform SDK?
learn c and c++, python or java use interpreters
I wonder if you can use computer ram as buffer, like how NI DAQ can…that would make the AD3 a better choice since the buffer size won’t matter
