Analog Discover 1 patterns used in Discover 2

[mladenik]

Is the a way to convert the patterns ( .dwfpatterns files) created with the Analog Discovery 1 to be used on the Analog Discover 2?

Hi @mladenik

What version of waveforms did you use for the AD1 and the AD2?  Could you please attach the .dwfpatterns file. 

cheers,

JOn

Here is one of the files.     I just recently downloaded the AD2 software it says 2015 on the icon.   The older one stopped working when I installed the new one.   It was installed and used in 2014.

Hi @mladenik,

 

I am going to move this forum thread to the section that deals with waveforms and the different test equipment we offer. More experienced community members will be able to assist. It looks like the dwfpattern files are saved as binaries that are specific to each version of waveforms. I was able to change the extension to the .dwf3work and it showed up as  a waveforms 2015 file. The binary looks to be different so the newer version will not recognize it. 

cheers,

Jon

Hello,

The project/workspaces are not compatible between the old WaveForms (v2) and the new WaveForms 2015 (v3).

In order to have at the same time installed WF v2 and v3, please install the last version of WF v2 .9.4 from:
https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/software/waveforms/waveforms-2/start

This way you can have in front as reference the WF v2 project and the WF v3 at the same time. In case you want, you could export (.csv) data from v2 and import in v3.
