Digilent

Digilent

Digilent is an American test and measurement company and subsidiary of NI (formerly National Instruments), known for PC-based instrumentation, data acquisition modules, and FPGA development platforms. Their portable USB-connected mixed-signal instruments — including the Analog Discovery and ADP series — combine oscilloscope, waveform generator, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and network analyzer functions in compact, affordable form factors suited for bench and field use.

Digilent's data acquisition product line includes multichannel analog and digital I/O modules supporting thermocouples, voltage, current, RTD, and IEPE sensor inputs via USB, Ethernet, and other interfaces. These DAQ systems are compatible with NI software environments and are widely adopted in automated test setups and research instrumentation.

Key Product Lines

• PC-Based Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes — ADP series USB instruments combining oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, waveform generator, and logic analyzer
• Data Acquisition Modules — USB and Ethernet DAQ systems for thermocouple, voltage, current, and digital I/O measurement
• FPGA Development Boards — programmable logic platforms for digital design education and embedded systems prototyping

Industries Served

Digilent instruments are widely used in engineering education, university research laboratories, electronics prototyping, embedded systems development, and small-scale automated test applications. Their portable, cost-effective instruments are particularly suited for field measurements, classroom environments, and R&D workbenches where full-size rack instrumentation is impractical.
