“I’m so proud of our team”, said Bryan Lee, President at Oscium. “Everyone at Oscium is very honored to be among the finalists for this highly respected award.” Oscium’s iMSO-104 is the only mixed signal oscilloscope that has been merged into an iPhone, iPad, iPod. Although the interface industry standard is dominated by buttons and knobs, Oscium has introduced a touchscreen interface to the market as an alternative way to navigate the display. Joe Wolin, eeWeb Co-Founder, had this to say about iMSO-104, “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… ”
