Products available from Mouser include: 1 - The Digilent Analog Discovery USB Oscilloscope is a multi-function measurement tool that turns any PC into a powerful engineering test device. Driven by the free WaveForms software, the Analog Discovery lets you build and test analog and digital circuits in virtually any environment, in or out of the lab. The USB-powered Analog Discovery plugs into the USB port of any PC, allowing it to act as a combination oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, digital pattern generator, voltmeter, and more. It's small enough to fit in your pocket, but powerful enough to replace a stack of lab equipment. 2 - The Digilent ZYBO Zynq-7000 Development Board, features rich, ready-to-use, entry-level embedded software and digital circuit development platform. The ZYBO provides an alternative to designers that wish to leverage the massive processing power and extensibility of the Zynq AP SoC architecture. The board has a companion textbook, The Zynq Book, available to use in conjunction with the ZYBO.
