General Questions

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.

The input impedance is 1Mohm in 1x mode & 10Mohm in 10x mode.

The digital threshold is fixed at 1.7v.

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 shown on the screen.

Also, please reference this example blog for an illustration on how to re-graph the csv data.

The array sample size is 1024.

Triggering is not available with 100ms and greater timescales. That's why the menu and the bubble disappear. Consider using the delay along with a timescale that has triggering to troubleshoot your device under test.

If you're using an iPhone / iPod touch, you can use your Oscium oscilloscope continuously for approximately five hours. If you're using an iPad, you can use your scope continuously for approximately eight hours. Please understand that these battery times are just estimates. Your results may vary based on your background usage level (WiFi, email push, other apps, etc).

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.
