Getting started with the Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series

1. Hardware

To set up the ADP5000:

1. First, install the Digilent WaveForms software on your PC. See Installer Details for more information.
2. Connect the device to your PC using a USB cable and supply 100-240VAC 100W max.

2. Software

These devices are only supported under Windows operating system with 32 and 64 bit Intel architectures.
See Installer Details for information about different command line options to install WaveForms.
See WaveForms for more information on using the WaveForms software.

The network is configured automatically with DHCP. Custom IP can be set for network connected device and reset with the button on the back of the device. To remove cached VirtualBench and ADP5000 network devices that may be no longer valid, delete Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\National Instruments\NI-VirtualBench\ni-virtualbench-devices.db file.

3. Device Calibration

Each device is calibrated at the factory during the manufacturing test procedure. Calibration data is stored in the device's non-volatile memory.
Calibration of the device is not recommended since there is no option to return earlier or factory calibration.
The Calibrate tab lists the available calibration modules and can be used to launch them. The Info tab shows calibration data of the main modules. The References tab lets you review the last performed calibration steps.
The password for device is digilent.
