Are there any plans for Analog Discovery 3 with deeper memory?

[kaamil1984]

Hi guys,

Are there any plans to release new version of Analog Discovery with a bit deeper memory? 

It is awesome instrument, very useful even in professional work. I have found that in many cases is waaaay better than some regular low cost scopes (like my 4ch Rigol MDO where XY mode is useless, there is no way to store setup, firmware is buggy etc.).

There is just one little problem: not enough sample memory. I'm forced to use Record feature sometimes when just 2x more memory could do the job. 

Can we expect AD3 with a bit deeper memory in near future? Probably 256k would be enough...

Hi @kaamil1984

128Mi sample recording at 1 channel at 125MHz will be suffice ?

AWESOME! 

And that linux on board...

But such awesome instrument will probably cost 3x more than AD2 and I will be not able to afford it :(

I'd love to see a bit more bandwidth personally. I really like the analog discovery 2, the software is just great. I always go for it first if I am looking at something less than 20 mhz.

It is 2023 now. I suggest increase bandwidth to 50-100 MHz and USB 3.2 or USB 4.0 so that the stream mode is fast enough to not worry about on-board memory anymore (just stream to PC continuously), even SSD can write GBps now.  :)
