Tektronix, the world's
leading manufacturer of oscilloscopes, recently announced the release of three
new oscilloscope applications for use on Android smartphones. The free apps,
available now on the Google Play store, allow users to remotely control and monitor
their oscilloscopes or view and analyze waveforms on the go.
"With these
applications, we are taking advantage of overwhelming popularity of smartphones
and tablets within the engineering community to give our customers more
flexibility and convenience in the way they use their oscilloscopes," said
Mike Flaherty, general manager, Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. "In today's
world, engineers are often tasked with multiple projects and no longer have the
luxury to sit at the engineering bench all day. These first applications point
the way to a full set of apps that will help engineers and technicians stay
productive while on the road, during meetings or waiting in line at the
supermarket. We see significant opportunities with mobility to help our
customers improve their day-to-day productivity."
Tektronix Oscillo Connect:
Once paired to an
oscilloscope through the Web, this app can be used to remotely monitor
waveforms and measurements from a smartphone. Channels and measurements can be
individually specified along with controls such as Run/Stop and Single.
Additionally, waveform position and scaling can be done locally on the
smartphone, independent of the oscilloscope. The app can be downloaded here:

Tektronix Oscillo
Analyzer:
To help engineers boost
productivity while away from their workstation or on the go, the Analyzer
application allows users to view Tektronix supported .CSV waveform files and
run measurements on the loaded waveform. Once the .CSV files are loaded onto an
Android device's memory card, the waveforms can viewed at the user's
convenience using scroll and zoom functions. Maximum record length supported is
100K. The app can be downloaded here:

Triggevent:
For certain applications
that involve long duration tests, engineers no longer need to wait or
periodically check the status on their oscilloscope. Instead, the Triggevent
application allows the user to receive notification directly on their Android
device of a pre-defined event, such as a fault condition, or if a measurement
exceeds bounds. The app can be downloaded here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tek.trigger.app&feature=search_result#?t=W10
