Inventive people continue to demonstrate how versatile iPads are. The latest example we’ve found turns the device into an oscilloscope.
Oscium developed the iMSO-104 mixed-signal oscilloscope for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch “quickly and easily,” the company says, thanks to Apple’s iOS and MFi (Made for iPod, Made for iPhone, and Made for iPad) developer programs. “It boasts a 5 MHz bandwidth and up to 12 MSPS (megasamples per second) sample rate, while simultaneously analyzing up to one analog and four digital signals,” says Oscium.
The sensors use Cypress Semiconductor’s PSoC(R) 3 programmable system-on-a-chip to manage two-way communication between the sensors and your device The app is in the App Store now for free, while the full hardware rig will run you US$279.99. That’s not a bad price for an oscilloscope.
