Installing WaveForms : Linux

First, download the package for theAdept Runtime. This program is required for WaveForms to connect to the Analog Discovery 2 and must be installed prior to installing WaveForms.
For systems using.deb packages, (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc), use the built-in package manager to install the Adept Runtime and then WaveForms - typically, a package manager can be opened by double-clicking on the file in question.

Download Adept Runtime

• Download the correct version of Adept. The link for Adept downloads is locatedhere.
• Make sure the version of the Adept install file is the same as WaveForms. I used the 64 bit RPM for WaveForms so I will use the 64 bit RPM for Adept.

Install Files using command line

Alternatively, use the following set of commands in the terminal to install the Adept Runtime and WaveForms from the downloaded packages:

sudo dpkg -i  sudo dpkg -i  sudo apt-get install -f

For systems using.rpm packages(Red Hat Linux等),使用下面的commands in the terminal to install the Adept Runtime and WaveForms from the downloaded packages:

sudo rpm -i  sudo rpm -i 

If WaveForms has already been installed on the system, replace the “-i” flag passed to the rpm command with “-U” to upgrade the existing installation. For technical support with installing WaveForms on various Linux distributions, please visit to the Scopes and Instruments section of theDigilent Forum.

This section walks through using the Analog Discovery 2 for the first time. An analog output pin is connected to an analog input pin, and a waveform is generated and captured via this simple loopback circuit.

Take a Measurement - Steps

Plug in your Analog Discovery 2

Plug the USB B-Micro cable into your computer and Analog Discovery 2.

---

Launch WaveForms

Launch WaveForms. Upon launch, WaveForms will automatically detect and connect to the Analog Discovery 2. If the Analog Discovery 2 is not connected to the host computer when WaveForms launches, the Device Manager will be launched. Make sure that the device is plugged in and turned on, at which point it will appear in the Device Manager's device list (1). Click on the device in the list to select it, then click the Select button (2) to close the Device Manager.

Note:“DEMO” devices are also listed, which allow the user to use WaveForms and create projects without a physical device.

Note:The Device Manager can be opened by clicking on the “Connected Device” button in the bottom right corner of the screen (3), or by selecting “Device Manager” from the “Settings” menu at the top of the screen.
