Note: When closing, the WaveForms software stores the last
configuration (if set to do so). This tutorial assumes the factory
default settings are used. To make sure that you have the factory
default settings (even if somebody previously saved a different
WaveForms configuration on your machine), click Options in
the WaveForms main window, then Erase configuration in
the Options window. Close the Options window.


1) Build the LED driver circuit shown in figure 1, preferably on your solder-less breadboard. Use different
color LEDs (for example, red and green) if you have them.

2) Connect the D0 signal and the positive 5 volt power supply Vp to the circuit as shown.
3) Start the Waveforms software.

4) Open power supply control window and turn on VP+

5) Open up the Digital Patterns screen. Add a signal. Select DIO 0.Set the type to clock. You should see
something that looks like the screen below. Lastly, hit the Run button.



6) Open the edit signal parameters window by clicking on the little blue pencil icon. Make sure the type is set
to clock and the output is set to PP (push-pull). Set the frequency to 1MHz. With the Duty cycle set to
50% both LEDs should be on equally bright.



7) Adjust the duty cycle ( pulse width ) from 0% to 100% using the slider. At 0% the green LED should be
completely off and at 100% the red LED should be completely off.

8) Congratulations you have generated your first pulse width modulated clock with the Analog Discovery!
