NorthTree Associates Announces Release of Oscium iMSO-204 Two Channel Oscilloscope

WACONIA, Minn. - Nov. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- The Oscium iMSO-204 is the second generation of handheld engineering tools from Oscium. When iMSO-104 was originally released, it won several awards (including being recognized as one of the 100 most technologically significant products of the year). With iMSO-204, Oscium has improved both functionality and performance, making the iPad or iPhone a very compelling oscilloscope solution.

Improvements to the original scope include adding a second analog channel and increasing the sample rate by more than a factor of four to 50 MSPS. The horizontal scaling has also been expanded (200 ns/div – 10s/div) and the sample depth is now 1000 points.

Oscium is the first company to bring a capacitive touch screen experience to oscilloscopes. Martin Rowe of EDN Network says, “[once] you try using your finger to zoom in on a waveform, you’ll never want to go back to knobs.” Oscium has paved the way for a truly intuitive experience and continues to make improvements to the platform. iMSO2 software improvements include the following enhancements:

·         Waveforms can be paused and zoomed into

·         While zooming the horizontal and vertical scales, immediate feedback is now provided

·         Waveforms are sharper with more than four times the number of display points

Make The World Your Lab

Both iMSO-104 and the new iMSO-204 work with free downloadable apps in the Apple App Store. Be sure to download the iMSO2 app with the iMSO-204 hardware and, as always, the iMSO app with the iMSO-104.

Since Apple continues to sell and support 30-pin iPads and iPhones, Oscuim has chosen to serve and support all our customers (both 30-pin and Lightning™), rather than require customers to immediately upgrade their Apple hardware. The only way to ensure full compatibility for all customers is to deliver a native 30-pin accessory coupled with a Lightning adapter.

Availability
iMSO2 software is free in the Apple App Store. The iMSO2 app requires iOS version 5.0 or higher. Compatible products include: iPhone 5C*, iPhone 5S*, iPhone 5*, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad Mini*, iPad Air*, iPad 4*, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad, iPod touch [3rd (32GB only), 4th and 5th* generation]. iMSO-204 Oscilloscope hardware can be purchased directly from NorthTree Associates.

*Devices require an official Lightning adapter to unlock compatibility.
