Who wants to sacrifice the warranty on a premium high-end device in order to use a low-end device? 5 - The math functions are very limited: The only math function that is available is: A+B.
#SMARTSCOPE OSCILLOSCOPE REVIEW HOW TO#
Not all people (typical Apple users) will know how to do this, and even if they know how to do it, many people want to keep their tablet device in the factory configuration, to avoid that the warranty is voided. 4 - Tricky installation: Apparently iOS support only works after a jail-break of your Apple tablet device. According to some users, the software freezes and crashes randomly, and the performance is very slow in some measurement scenarios. 3 - Stability and performance issues in the SmartScope: Several people have reported stability and performance issues. But why on Earth, would you want that students and electronic hobbyists leave the comfort of a real bench oscilloscope, and make their experience limited to a touch-screen interface, that is not used anywhere in the industry up to today. 2 - Bad learning experience for target group: LabNation says that their focus is students and electronic hobbyists.
My impression is that there is a disconnect between the assumptions from LabNation and the actual preferences and expectations from end users, industry, schools and universities. But on what basis? A touch-screen interface is nice to have for media, or for navigation, but it will never replace the nice controls on a digital storage bench oscilloscope. = 1 - Real value of a touch-screen interface: LabNation keeps saying that the touch-screen experience is so unique and so much better. = Hereby, a separate thread about the SmartScope from LabNation, to share my thoughts about this device, and to hear feedback from other people.
