Android apps for Tektronix oscilloscopes

7 August 2013 Test & Measurement

Tektronix announced the release of three new oscilloscope applications for use on Android smartphones.

The free apps, available on the Google Play store, allow users to remotely control and monitor their oscilloscopes or view and analyse waveforms on the go.

Once paired to an oscilloscope through the Web, the Oscillo Connect app can be used to remotely monitor waveforms and measurements from a smartphone. Channels and measurements can be individually specified along with controls such as Run/Stop and Single. Additionally, waveform position and scaling can be done locally on the smartphone, independent of the oscilloscope.

To help engineers boost productivity while away from their workstation or on the go, the Oscillo Analyser application allows users to view Tektronix supported .csv waveform files and run measurements on the loaded waveform. Once the .csv files are loaded onto an Android device’s memory card, the waveforms can be viewed at the user’s convenience using scroll and zoom functions. Maximum supported record length is 100 000.

For certain applications that involve long-duration tests, engineers need not wait or periodically check the status on their oscilloscope. Instead, the Oscillo Triggevent application allows the user to receive notification directly on their Android device of a pre-defined event, such as a fault condition, or if a measurement exceeds bounds.
