For anyone that doesn’t know, an oscilloscope, or O-scope, is an electronic measuring instrument that creates a visible two-dimensional graph, on a screen, of one or more continuously varying voltages or currents. Oscium has revealed the iMSO-104, a combination of a free universal iOS app and a $300 hardware kit that attaches via the iDevice’s dock connector.
One connected, you can use gestures to navigate:
- Trigger Level - Setting the analog trigger level is as easy as touching the right side of the screen and swiping either up or down. Buttons and knobs on test equipment are going the way of the horse and buggy.
- Zooming – Changing the vertical & horizontal scales can be done by moving two fingers away from each other. And to zoom out, simply pinch the screen moving two fingers toward each other.
- Repositioning Channels - Both the analog and digital channels are also easy to reposition. Touch and swipe the desired channel to any position on the screen to customize your display.
Oscium is calling this the “world’s smallest oscilloscope (if you use it with your iPhone or iPod Touch). The app is free if you want to check it out without the $300 piece of hardware. The first batch of hardware kits are already sold out and if you’re interested in reading the manual before throwing down $300, you can read it here. Oscium should consider a different product name; Wired nailed it - “The iScilloscope.”
