A lot of hard work was still ahead of them in the following few months. Within a month their company (LabNation) achieved over $300,000 of funding, which was sufficient to start planning the production of these devices. He started to design the SmartScope along with two of his friends and set up a Kickstarter campaign. He started to think about designing one himself, which would have all the features he expected of a USB scope: versatile, portable, easily extended, and with an intuitive user interface.
When electronic engineer Riemer Grootjans acquired a number of different USB scopes for use at work and at home, he wasn’t very pleased with these devices. Before we take a closer look at the SmartScope, we’ll first find out how this project got started. However, the SmartScope is a measuring instrument that differs significantly from the competition, in both hardware as well as software. We’ve tried one out on a PC and a tablet.Ī fair number of (USB) oscilloscopes have previously been reviewed and tested in Elektor.
The software has been designed to make the user interface appear identical across all platforms.

The SmartScope is an exception to this: it works just as well with an Android tablet, an iPad or an OS X system. Most USB oscilloscopes have been designed for use in combination with a Windows or Linux PC.
