How it Works?
The scopePi50M works connected to the USB port of a PC , tablet or notebook and do not need extra power since it is powered by the USB port itself . This feature is excellent for field measurements such as signal check on vehicles or in any other place where we have no power supply.Another feature is the possibility of store the measured waveform and subsequently being able to use the results in reports. Connect to your PC, tablet, IPhone or Android:
