The attempt of a Micsig (A/S)TO11xx general purpose thread ... :-)

(1/20) > >>

Pfriemler:
FOREWORD: I have just received my (second) Migsig STO1104C and feel very comfortable with it. Of course, there are more questions than answers, especially at the beginning. I therefore think it would be good, especially for beginners or those interested, to put together a few pieces of information that were not entirely clear to me in my initial research and that are scattered over many individual threads here, some of which are even off-topic.
Although some operating peculiarities are additionally solved differently with the "button variants" (STO), many general questions about software and operation (also the operating system interface apart from the actual oscilloscope) and solutions should concern the entire Migsig scope family. Some things seem abnormal, but are not.
I would try to collect by edit the questions and answers bundled in the first post and keep them as up to date as possible and also collect links to other migsic-scope related topics there. I know something like this from other forums and it has proven itself and saves newcomers from having to read through a long thread with hundreds of posts.
If something like that is rather undesirable here, please just let me know. Maybe there is already something like this somewhere else and I have just overlooked it so far.


Here are my initial questions/statements to the Migsic community, which I would like to ask the Migsic community to answer and confirm or object to.

Hardware
---
H1: Contrary to what portability might suggest, the Scope is of course grounded as long as it is powered by the AC adapter ...  :palm:

H2: The probes supplied have a 1:10 division ratio and cannot be switched to 1:1  :-- ... I miss that!

H3: It seems to make sense not to "shoot down" the scope by a long keystroke, but to switch it off by a short keystroke and popup menu.  :-//


Android system
---
A1: Updates offered should be treated with caution. Never change a running system...

A2: The WLAN symbol on the desktop is often displayed with an exclamation mark (disturbed Internet connection), but everything apparently works anyway.

A3: I can set an IPv4 address in the network for the LAN connection, but I miss the settings for a WLAN connection. No way?

A4: I am still looking for a way to actively push screenshots and data away from the scope to a network storage instead of getting them from the computer via FTP server.

A5: I miss a PDF reader. Is the WPS Office to install the only way? The scope's manual is in pdf and can be displayed on scope, by what means?

A6: Installing my own apps would be nice, but the system won't allow it (for now and also reasonably). Has anyone already managed to do this? Could Migsig be asked to add a freely available app to the store? (a file manager with ftp support would solve my problem A4, ...).


Scope

S1: (STO) There is a back button to exit a channel menu without having to turn off the channel.  :clap: ) Tapping on somewhere else on the screen works just as for the non-STO devices, thx Fungus

S2: (STO) There are buttons to move the cursors, you just have to activate them with [Shift] first. The buttons in the left lower corner are the only way for the non-STO. I had to read the manual again and again to find that, after fiddling moving the cursor with fingers ...  |O

Just touch the screen anywhere outside the channel menu.  :)

Don't try to accidentally put the focus on something else on the screen.
Honestly, why don't the menus have a "Cancel" or "Back" button. That's not style.

Fungus, you do have the WPS Office on your scope. Useful or not? ... I give it a try ...

It doesn't focus if the channel menu was open. It just closes the menu.

I installed it but I never used it. Maybe if it's the only computer you have and you connect a mouse and keyboard.... I dunno. It's not exactly the world's best office suite. :-//

I have used the web browser occasionally to bring up datasheets and stuff. It can also play media files and view youtube but the sound isn't very good.

Mostly I use it as an oscilloscope. The only app I really use a lot is the ftp server for grabbing screenshots from my PC.

I'd like to use my HP15C calculator app on it but as you say, we don't have permission to install  .mkv files even though the file system looks for them and lists them under the apps category.

I don't remember but I think PDF files open just by clicking on them.

Micsig_support:
Above 3 hardware question.

H1, Yes.
H2, We found fixed 10:1 probe quality is better. and many suppliers use same way. you can buy one more probe. buying more tool, earning more money.  :-DD
H3, many android device shut down by pop up menu. so we are same.

Using the scope is simple like to use a cell phone.  ^-^

I hope i can become a member of this scope community.  :o
