Micsig TO102 tBook Series Tablet Oscilloscope (Android)

If you are tired of watching the oscilloscope indicator and you think of running Angry Birds - you will probably like the new oscilloscope from Micsig company based on Android and designed as a large 10-inch tablet. The series includes dual channel and four channel models with 70 MHz up to (note!) 1 GHz bandwidth. And the sample rate is 1 GHz, 2 GHz and 5 GHz for top models. Waveform generator, multimeter and protocol decoder functions are also available, as well as Wi-Fi connection.
If the manufacturer will manage to create the models with a bandwidth of half of a gigahertz and one gigahertz in this housing, this will be a real break-through.
Currently we have here for testing a sample model Micsig TO102 with a bandwidth of 100 MHz and dual channels. Let's have a closer look at the device. Most of the front panel is a 10-inch display with a 1024x600 resolution, and there are main touch controls. The side panel houses the input channel connectors - this model is dual-channel so we have 2 channels active, the rest are unavailable. The other side houses a power button, and the rubber cover plug covers the power connector, ground, USB interface and micro USB for PC synchronization. There is nothing special on upper and bottom sides, and there is a convenient support stand on the back panel - the tablet oscilloscope may be placed on the table and it is handy for operation.
It is worth mentioning that the series has models with insulated input channels and that the battery is an option - it is not installed in the device.
Let's switch on the scope. We may see the Micsig welcome screen. I have already provided the 1 kHz Sin signal in Channel 1. You may adjust the volume or disable the sound. So, the scope is on and you may see several icons on the screen. The generator, the recorder, the multimeter, the protocol decoder, and Android operating system - but as we have a basic model - you will have to buy and install all those options separately, we only have the Oscilloscope function available. We start the scope - it is on. For those users who have used smartphones and tablets and who have worked with digital oscilloscopes there will be no problem in operation, as everything is simple and easy to use. The menu is similar to that of modern digital scopes, and the control using a touch screen is similar to smartphones and tablets. Here we have the sweep control buttons, gain factor; you may also change it this way, move the waveform, change the trigger level. Apart from the oscilloscope control buttons there a 3 buttons typical for Android: Options, Back, Home. The functions are equal to those of traditional digital oscilloscopes. As an example let's enter the menu. We may see that it includes auto measurements, data saving, display settings, trigger settings, extended window mode, user settings, and help function.
Switch on the auto measurements mode. Say, I want to measure the frequency and root-mean-square value, that will be enough. We have the frequency of 1 kHz and the voltage of 7 Volts displayed. We change the frequency to, say, 20 MHz - here it is, and now 40 MHz. It's worth mentioning that the oscilloscope is working without delay - it instantly reacts to the commands.
That was a short review of Micsig TO102 oscilloscope. As you may witness this oscilloscope has a great potential, and if the manufacturer will manage to create the models with a bandwidth of 500MHz and 1GHz - these scopes will have no competitors on the market.
