Intuitive & Easy to Use

iMSO-104 is the first mixed signal oscilloscope designed specifically for the iPhone, iPod touch, & iPad. It's intuitive and easy to use, which is why it's the preferred scope for the next generation of inventors. But don’t take our word for it. Download iMSO in the App Store and test drive the interface for free.

“So how does this touch interface compare to an oscilloscope with knobs? We actually think the experience is better! The touch-interface of the iPad represents a viable alternative to traditional knob-based oscilloscopes. The software on this device is outstanding… ”

"This is really rather tasty. If you’re into the gigahertz range, this isn’t going to do you any good. But for the sort of stuff that I do, this is pretty darn smart. It’s an oscilloscope in your pocket. I for one am well impressed. Jolly good idea. Wish I would have thought of it.”

"I've been using logic analyzers and oscilloscopes on and off for 30 years. In terms of sheer ease of use, this is the best I've ever gotten my hands on (pun intended)." -James Turner in IEEE Spectrum

 

'Hands On' Oscilloscope

Oscium's iMSO-104 is intuitive which means you can spend more time debugging than fumbling with an oscilloscope interface. Our friends over at ThinkGeek illustrate how easy it is to change the analog trigger level in the video on the left and on the right we've recently added another video that shows iMSO-104 in action:

     

Intuitive hand gestures are used to navigate:

  • Zooming - Changing the vertical & horizontal scales can be done by moving two fingers away from each other. And, to zoom out, simply pinch the screen moving two fingers toward each other. 
     
  •  Repositioning Channels - Both the analog and digital channels are also easy to reposition. Touch and swipe the desired channel to any position on the screen to customize your display.

App Updates Unlock Value

One of the benefits of this platform is that enhancements to the app can quickly and easily be distributed to customers, unlocking additional value at no charge. FFT is a good example of this (see screenshot on the left); it was added after iMSO was first released. The ability to update features and improve the overall user experience enables us to be responsive to your needs. For examples, FAE's and other on-the-go engineers suggested we add the ability to save configurations (because it would save them setup time). So, we added the ability to save three different configurations. Now, you only have to set up your oscilloscope once and it will remember who you are.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the product iMSO-104.

Can I measure AC voltage and what range?

Yes, you can measure either AC or DC voltage on the analog channel. The maximum voltages are -8v to +13v in 1x mode and -40v to +40v in 10x mode.

What is the input impedance of the analog channel?

The input impedance is:

1Mohm with 50-Ohm input (1x)
10Mohm with 50-Ohm input (10x)

What is the threshold of the digital inputs? At what value do they switch from high to low and vice versa?

The digital threshold is fixed at 1.7v. 

Can you explain the format of the .csv data logging file?

Rows
When the time scale is set to less than 100ms, each row is a single screen capture.
When the time scale is greater than or equal to 100ms, each row is a data point in time.

Columns
Each column (excluding the first) is the data point in time that is shown on the screen.

What is the meaning of 104 in the name iMSO-104.

The numbers on the hardware translate into 1 channel of analog / 04 channels of digital. The software will always just be called iMSO.

Do I need an app to use iMSO-104?

Yes, you do need to install the app iMSO. The app is easy to install and available for free in the Apple App Store.

I have ideas on how to improve your scope. Want to hear them?

Absolutely! Please go to the Contact menu and press the "Inventor Feedback" link to give us your suggestions.

I am in Demo Mode. Are there other types of signals that I can view?

Yes. Find the demo menu on the menu bar. Touch the word of the signal that you wish to view. The following signals are currently available in demo mode: sine, square, triangle, sawtooth. If -for example- you want to view a square wave, select the word SQUARE. When in demo mode, only one signal is available and it will be displayed on channel 1 (or the green color). Once the iMSO-104 hardware is purchased, all channels and features are unlocked and fully functional.  

Can you add another language to iMSO?

The iMSO app is available in the following languages: English, German, French, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. We would love to see our scope translated into other languages even if it is Chamicuro. If you don’t know what Chamicuro is, you’re not alone. As of a 2008 study, only eight people in the world speak Chamicuro. If you want us to translate the scope into Chamicuro or another language of your choice, we’d be glad to do it with your help.

I understand that iMSO-104 uses the battery from my phone, touch or tablet. How long can I use it before I need to recharge?

If you're using an iPhone / iPod touch, you can use iMSO-104 continuously for approximately five hours. 
If you're using an iPad, you can use iMSO-104 continuously for approximately eight hours. 

Please understand that these estimates are just that, estimates. Your results may vary based on your background usage level (WiFi, email push, other apps, etc).

Does iMSO hardware have a warranty?

Yes, iMSO-104 comes with a one year warranty. Probes and SMD grabbers are not included in warranty.

Which Apple devices does iMSO-104 work on?

iMSO-104 works on all generations of the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad devices running iOS version 3.1.3 or higher. It is made for:

iPod touch (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation)
iPhone 4S
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 3G
