Hantek launched WiFi Oscilloscope
24 June 2016 - Hantek released the first iPad WIFI oscilloscope iDSO1070 Series in China. It supports multi-touch operation, WIFI connection (or USB connection), WIFI Direct connection and via router. A build-in lithium battery allows operation during 4 hours without external power and floating measurement. It can connect iPad and iPhone at the same time. When operating on iPad, it can also be observed on iPhone. Good mechanical design with small size which is convenient for traveling. The outer case is made of anodized Aluminium.
USB Oscilloscope generates high fidelity Signals up to 40 MHz
20 June 2016 - Tiepie's Handyscope HS5-540 has a true form CDS generator capable of generating high fidelity signals up to 40 MHz. The Arbitrary waveform generator sampling frequency is adjustable up to 240 MHz. A 64 MSamples waveform buffer allows for many user applications. The Handyscope HS5-540 Arbitrary waveform generator features a typical spurious distortion below -85 dB at 100 kHz signal frequency. No other Arbitrary waveform generator in its class can match this.
