WLAN Digital Storage Oscilloscope
21 January 2015 - Velleman offers the world's first WLAN dual channel digital storage oscilloscope. The WFS210 is a compact, portable battery powered fully featured two channel oscilloscope. Instead of a built-in screen it uses a tablet (iOS, Android) or a PC (Windows) to display the measurements. Data exchange between the tablet and the oscilloscope is via WLAN.
USB Oscilloscopes - Product Overview (Low-end)
USB oscilloscopes are are becoming increasingly popular. Nevertheless there is a wide range of instruments available starting from less than one hundred up to several thousands of dollars. The following comparison chart provides a list of products with some important selection criteria. The list covers products in the low-end price range from 100 to 500 USD and with a bandwidth of at least 50 MHz. Most of USB PC scopes are pure digital oscilloscopes (DSO) but some offer also mixed-signal functions (MSO) or even additional features such as arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), logic analyzer, protocol analyzer or spectrum analyzer.
