The Hantek has a resolution of 8-bit (256 possible values in the voltage range). For this disable the AUTO voltage and select the voltage range manually.

Sometime you may want to see the amplitude of a signals much lower than the maximum value, so you may want to use a shorter scale and let the maximum to go overscale. If the signal maximum value is higher than the selected Voltage Range and the Auto Voltage is not enabled, then the App detect this and write the message "Overscale!" on the top of the screen. HScope will automatically read and save the probes configuration from this file.

You can find/backup or restore your probes configuration by accessing the file in the folder: /Download/HScope/Probes.cfg. Probes configuration is saved locally on the phone and is not lost in case of app reinstallation.

DIY probe are available in the list with link to instruction how to build it. You can add or download new probes in the Settings -> Probes panel. On the market are available different kind of probes (also associated to different units like Ampere.). In visualization the App already calculate this scaling factor, so if you use a probe x10 just select in the Channel configurations the factor x10 and play with the voltage ranges (it will show you the possible range you can select). This means that using the Oscilloscope range ±5V with a probe x10 you can see signals up to ±50V (50V / 10 = 5V). If you change the switch of your probe to the position x10, the input signal will be attenuated by a factor 10. In case you need to measure stronger signals the Probe should have a switch that allow to attenuate the input signal.

Selecting DC the signal goes to screen AS-IS (with AC and DC components), selecting AC the signal pass into a filter (that can be hardware or software according the device) so that on screen and in computation is considered just the AC component. Lower voltage selection should still come manually. This function is limited just to high voltage ranges. Selecting the button AUTO the software automatically set the input voltage selector according to the signal.

Note: The second channel is available just in the Full Version. The may hardware have also an internal amplifier that allow to use lower voltage ranges (like from -0.5V to 0.5V). The maximum voltage range for these digital Oscilloscope is usually around ±5V (from -5V to +5V) but it depend from the device.

For phones with USB Type-C connector (Android Version >= 6), the USB power could not be enough for the oscilloscope, so you can use a powered USB Hub (sample in the picture: UNITEK 4-Ports USB3.0 Y-3089).Įach Channel can be switched on/off and can be set regarding the maximum input signal and the probe you use.

Avoid to use direct rigid adapters and try to use adapters with a short cable.Ĥ. Check with another USB-OTG cable since in many cases it is not good or suitable. If once connected the oscilloscope this software don't show the device in the "ANDROID" Tab, then the oscilloscope cannot work with the phone.ģ.
#Usb oscilloscope for mac driver#
Use the App USB Device Info to check if your phone/tablet have the driver for the oscilloscope. The original Hantek cable with a double USB Cable is good to use (1 Black USB for the Signal, 1 Red USB for the Power).Ģ. Power it interdependently with a 5V source, some phone has not enough USB current to power the Scope. In many case the USB cable provided with the device is not good to be used with phone.Ģ. Use short USB Cables like those used for external CD-ROM readers for laptops.
