Maybe we could ask Micsig about this. I want to turn mine into a huge HP15C. --- End quote --- Did anyone? I would like to run additional apps on the android surface, like - File Manager with FTP upload (Total Commander with ftp plugin) or something like that - Electrodroid - like the Electronic Tool, but much more informations inside - a PDF reader (for the user manual there must be something like that, but PDF on a USB device do not open) If there's any workaround, I would higly appreciate this. |

I find myself using them less and less as time goes by. :-DD --- End quote --- I've had mine for about 12 months and, in my opinion, knobs on a scope are still very very worthwhile. Yes, there are lots of things that are easier to do with a touchscreen and are very annoying with knobs (eg: back and forth scrolling when zoomed), and some things that are easier to do with knobs and are annoying with a touchscreen (eg: fine adjustment of position, either horizontal or vertical, setting trigger thresholds). After having a scope with both, I don't know why I put up with "just knobs" for so long, and multi-level menus are an absolute PITA! But after trying to do everything with a touchscreen (eg: TO1104), that is almost as annoying! Cheers, MM. |

There's also a few that I don't ever use. |

Indeed, I hear you. Sometimes what I use (button/knob/touchscreen) comes down to what I'm looking for, how free my hand is, and familiarity. Sometimes I reach for a knob by feel without taking my eyes off the screen, give it a click left or right, or a quick twist, and done. Something I find annoying is wanting to do something (like move a cursor), touching the screen, and find it has selected a waveform instead. Or wanting to move the 'zoom' window and dragging the trigger point instead. I suppose that is my fault and if I did it all day everyday I'd know exactly where to touch (or not) to get what I want. My biggest bugbear is having to "shift" to use the knobs for the cursors. I do note Tektronix now has a "2 series" which looks very similar to the micsig STO. Knowing Tek, the UI is very likely more refined. The 'lesser' brands from China (no matter what the product) always seem to fall a bit short in that department. Pity the Tek "2 series" are so expensive, otherwise I'd probably get one. |
