The AD2 is a flexible piece of test equipment that includes oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, a spectrum analyzer, logic probes and much more!

Logistics
So why are new members required to buy a 3 month subscription? We want to make sure our students are committed to sticking with the course before they get access to the educational discount on the hardware. It’s a bit of an awkward way to charge for that first month, but we did it with the ‘Upfront fee, with a “3 month trial”‘ to preserve your account info. After the initial period, you will still have access to the course at the normal rate of $29/month. This will charge automatically but can be cancelled at any time after the promotional 3 month period.
The link to the the AD2 bundle and the accompanying coupon code will be sent to you at the completion of this transaction.
