Brief Introduction
The IDSO is WLAN dual-channel digital storage oscilloscope geared towards tablet computers, it's
a small, lightweight, portable, battery powered, fully featured two channel oscilloscope. The
oscilloscopes is ideal for production test, research and design and all of the applications involving
analog circuits test and troubleshooting, as well as education and training.
Instead of a built-in screen it uses your tablet iOS, Android or PC (Windows) to display the
measurements. Data exchange between the tablet and the oscilloscope is via WLAN, there are no
cables. Also, as there is no physical connection between the oscilloscope and the tablet, it is a
very safe instrument to use. Due to the wireless principle, the oscilloscope and the ‘screen’ do not
need to be at the same location.
The communication protocol between the oscilloscope and the tablet is freely available, so it is
easy for third-party developers to develop applications for other purposes. Finally, it is equipped
with a USB port for charging of the internal battery. If desired, it can also connect to a PC via the
USB port, instead of wireless.

10. Easylink: Press this button to restart the IDSO and set Wi-Fi connection mode.
①Power on for IDSO. Keep pressing power button until power indicator lights up. The
indicator is blinking when it get battery level. When the battery is lower than 10%, the
indicator is quick blinking. When the battery is not less than 10%, the indicator is slow
blinking.
②The indicator keeps lighting in USB mode and slow blinking in Wi-Fi mode.
③If there is data transfer between IDSO device and IDSO APP, this indicator is quick
blinking. Otherwise, the indicator is off.
④In Wi-Fi mode, if there is communication link between IDSO device and IDSO APP, the
indicator keeps lighting normally.
1.2 Set Connection Mode
There are two connection modes of the IDSO Wi-Fi mode and USB mode.
Wi-Fi mode: Keep pressing power button until power indicator lights up. Then the communication
indicator USB/Wi-Fi lights up and slow blinking. You can connect the IDSO with tablet/PC via
Wi-Fi.
USB mode: Keep pressing power button until power indicator lights up. And press Easy-Link
button immediately, then the USB/Wi-Fi communication indicator lights up and keeping light. You
can connect the IDSO with PC via USB cable.
Note:
1. In Wi-Fi mode: The IDSO device will power off when the time of no communication between
IDSO device and IDSO application more than ten minutes. There are three situations about no
communication:
1) When the software of Windows is close.
2) When iOS APP quits or works on background.
3) When Android APP quits or the screen is lock.

2. In USB mode, if the driver is installed successfully on a PC, the software can communicate
with IDSO automatically, so the IDSO won’t power off when connect it with the PC. If the driver
isn’t installed successfully on a PC, there is no communication, so the IDSO will power off
more than ten minutes.
1.3 Charging the battery
There are two ways to charge the battery:
1. Connect B-Type Plug of USB cable to IDSO’s USB port. Connect the A-type Plug of USB cable
to power adapter (5V, 1A).
2. Connect B-Type Plug of USB cable to IDSO’s USB port. Connect the A-type Plug of USB cable
to PC’s USB port.
Note:
It is recommended to charge the rechargeable battery completely before using the
oscilloscope for the first time.
When the battery is out of power, please use power adapter to charge it for a period of time
before using.
1.4 General Check
Please check the instrument as following steps after receiving an oscilloscope:
Check the shipping container for damage:
Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the shipment
have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked mechanically and
electrically.
Check the accessories:
Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories" in this guide. If the contents
are incomplete or damaged, please notify the franchiser.
Check the instrument:
In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate properly
or fails performance tests, please notify the franchiser.
1.5 Probe Compensation
Perform this function to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel input. This
should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel at the first time.
1. From the “Probe” menu, select attenuation to 1:10. Set the switch to “X10” on the probe and
connect it to CH1 of the oscilloscope. When using the probe hook-tip, insert the tip onto the
probe firmly to ensure a proper connection.
2. Connect the probe tip with a 1 KHz, 2 Vp-p square, select CH1, and then press the

Quick Start
User’s Manual 5
“AUTOSET” button into the menu or the toolbar.
3. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.
Correctly Compensated
Over compensated
Under Compensated
4. If necessary, use a non-metallic tool to adjust the trimmer capacitor of the probe for the
fattest square wave being displayed on the oscilloscope.
5. Repeat if necessary.
WARNNING: To avoid electric shock while using the probe, be sure the perfection of the insulated
cable, and do not touch the metallic portions of the probe head while it is connected with a voltage
source.

1.6 Function Check
Perform this functional check to verify that your oscilloscope is operating correctly.
Connect the oscilloscope with PC, iOS or Android
1. Connect IDSO with PC via USB cable or Wi-Fi. Please refer to Connect IDSO with PC.
2. Connect IDSO with IOS via Wi-Fi. Please refer to Connect IDSO WITH APPLE.
3. Connect IDSO with Android via Wi-Fi. Please refer to Connect WITH Android.
Input a signal to a channel of the oscilloscope
The oscilloscope is equipped with two channels plus external trigger.
Please input signal in the following steps:
1. Set the attenuation switch on the probe as 10X and connect the probe on the oscilloscope with
CH1. Aim the slot in the probe connector at the faucet on BNC of CH1 and insert, then, turn right to
lock the probe. Finally, attach the tip of probe and ground nip to the Connector of Probe
compensator.
2. Set the CH1 probe attenuation of the oscilloscope to X10. (The default is X1).
3. Attach the tip of probe and ground nip to the Connector of Probe compensator. Click the
AUTO button. A square wave will be displayed within a several seconds. (Approximately 1 KHz,
2V, peak- to- peak).
4. Inspect CH2 with the same method. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

1.7 Self Calibration
The self calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for maximum
measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you should always run the
routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5℃or more. For accurate calibration, power on
the oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to ensure it is warmed up. To compensate the signal
path, disconnect any probes or cables from the input connectors. Then, access the “Utility ->
Calibrate/Self Calibration”option and follow the directions on the screen. The self calibration
routine takes about several minutes.
