Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250
Analog Discovery Pro ADP5250
All-In-One 1GS/s 100MHz Mixed Signal Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Power Supply, and DMM
What is the ADP5250?
Bolster your benchtop with the biggest, baddest, and boldest Analog Discovery yet.
The ADP5250 brings higher sample rate and bandwidth and a more rugged design to the Analog Discovery Pro family, keeping our free highly rated WaveForms application software at the controls.
Higher Sample Rate and Bandwidth
Designed to combine a complete set of instruments into a flexible and programmable device, the ADP5250 features a mixed-signal oscilloscope with two 100 MHz bandwidth, 1 GS/s analog channels, 34 digital channels, a tri-output power supply capable of up to 25 V, an external trigger, Waveform Generator, and a built-in programmable DMM. This is our first instrument with full DMM capabilities including true current and resistance measurement and a 300 V input range.
The Ultimate All-In-One Test System
Analog Discovery Pro devices feature a variety of advanced triggering options. Instruments within WaveForms can be cross-triggered, for example, by activating an oscilloscope capture based on a received and decoded digital protocol. In addition, external signals can trigger events using the dedicated external trigger input/output. Our free WaveForms software provides these features configurable in the instruments themselves, or for more control or automation in one of the available scripting interfaces.
Those familiar with NI will notice the hardware looks and functions similar to the VirtualBench VB-8012. The ADP5250 is NI quality hardware and connected to our tried-and-true WaveForms software suite for the ultimate test experience.
Note: The ADP5250 is Windows® only.

What is WaveForms?
WaveForms is the free software application for the Analog Discovery Studio and enables use of the available analog and digital instruments. The software has been refined by customer feedback for over 10 years and features a computer and laptop friendly user interface that has the feel of traditional benchtop software. The Analog Discovery Studio communicates with WaveForms via a USB connection to your computer, allowing users to capture, record, analyze, and generate mixed signal and mixed domain waveforms. WaveForms can be downloaded and installed in under 60 seconds and can be tested without hardware using its demo mode feature. In addition to the use of instruments in the application, the WaveForms application has a script editor tool, which allows custom scripting of the instrument in JavaScript. WaveForms is designed to be run on a laptop or desktop computer and is Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible.
The following instruments are available in the WaveForms application for the ADP3450 and ADP3250:
- Oscilloscope
- Waveform Generator
- Power Supplies
- DMM
- Logic Analyzer
- Static I/O
- Spectrum Analyzer
- Network Analyzer
- Impedance Analyzer
- Data Logger
For even more customization potential, the WaveForms Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to create custom applications and scripts in Python, C, and additional languages. The Analog Discovery Studio is also compatible with LabVIEW and the Digilent Toolbox for compatibility with MathWorks' MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox.
