A Message from Digilent’s President
Hi Everyone!
It has certainly been an interesting couple of years here at Digilent and no doubt for our customers like you, too.
Focusing on the Customer
在大流行中引入的背景和挑战中，我们一直在忙于与母公司（NI）进行重组，这些公司源于确保我们的客户及其需求首先。这个简单的原则有时会在像我们这样的公司中以强大的技术重点而迷失。结果，我们通过改进购物体验，改善入门资源，并确保客户拥有所需的所有资源以在其应用程序中取得成功，从而对客户的成功进行了新的投资。今天，我们的增强网站产品过滤和比较工具已经可以使用其中一些功能，而其他功能目前正在进行中，并计划在未来几个月内发布。与往常一样，我们正在使用您的反馈来指导我们的活动，因此请继续反馈！
Introducing the Analog Discovery Pro Family
On the new product front, we received strong feedback that you wanted faster and more professional versions of our incredibly popularAnalog Discovery 2便携式多功能仪器。结果，去年我们介绍了模拟发现专业家族的第一个 -ADP3250 and ADP3450two and four-channel high-resolution, mixed-signal oscilloscopes. These products have been received enthusiastically by our customers as a great way to move up in performance and capability while retaining the same versatile and easy-to-use Waveforms software user interface. Based on that early success, we also introduced theADP5250late in the year, pushing the scope performance to 100MHz and 1 GS/S sampling. Those with a keen eye may have noticed the close resemblance toNI’s VirtualBench- 他们将是对的！ADP5250是NI VirtualBench的改编，其所有顶级规格和高质量的结构，但对于波形的粉丝，使用户体验在产品系列中保持一致。
DAQ and SDR Offerings
您可能还注意到我们开始提供NI子公司的其他产品Measurement Computing (MCC)和ETTUS研究this past year. This is the beginning of a multi-year effort to bring together the best of the offerings from these leaders in DAQ and datalogging (MCC) and software-defined radio (Ettus Research). Once again, our aim is to improve the customer experience and the overall value we offer to customers through expanded buying options, enhanced support, and new software capabilities.
供应链和物流
Finally, no update in this timeframe would be complete without addressing the global supply-chain challenges that manufacturers like us are going through. As we experienced a spike in demand for our portable instruments early in the pandemic, we scrambled to get ahead of the curve and worked closely with our suppliers and our parent company to ensure that our loyal academic customers were prioritized. We made major component purchases going out 12 to 18 months to give us the best chance at securing the supply needed to fill your orders. And, yes, you our customers have had to share the pain in some cases with unavoidable price increases on some key products. We are not out of the woods yet, but our team has done a fantastic job through this tough time and most of our top products are in stock and ready to ship.
There is so much more to talk about, including expansion of our academic pricing and the adoption of theMultisim Liveon-line circuit simulation website but we’ll have to leave those for a later update. Once again – we value and appreciate your business, your patience through these supply challenges, and especially your feedback. We at Digilent wish that you have a great 2022 discovering and exploring new ideas in measurements and electronics and making the world a better place in the process.
问候，
Steve Johnson
President – Digilent
