Analog Devices ADALM1000 active learning module

Analog Devices has launched the ADALM1000, a learning ecosystem for mixed-signal circuit designs. The product is suitable for teachers, students, electronic design engineers, hobbyists and makers that can benefit from a portable source measure unit that works by streaming to a desktop computer or laptop.

Benefiting from an open-source hardware platform, the included software operates on Windows, Linux, OS X, Android and BSD platforms and provides interactive data visualisation and analysis software that helps users test and measure many types of electronic circuits. Users can build and test a wide range of components and circuits as well as download predefined projects and video lectures. C, C++, MATLAB and Python support is also included.

The active learning module uses the USB connection from the user’s computer to provide integrated dual voltage and current supplies and can also act as a basic signal generator. The module also includes probes that allow users to do basic circuit measurements, as well as more complex performance visualisation and analysis through the use of 16-bit, 100 kSps signal conversion which is displayed on the user’s computer display.

The ADALM1000 kit includes the module, USB cable, I/O cables, header-pins and Quick Start Guide, and is supported by a diverse online network.
