Principle of operation
How does it work?
IkaScope can be seen as a wireless      
oscilloscope probe, that displays   
measured signals and is configured via     
remote screen (Tablet, smartphone or    
computer). Technically speaking, IkaScope   
WS200 integrates a full featured analog     
front end, a digital processing stage and a       
wifi module. First, measured signals are     
conditioned, then converted to digital    
values via a high speed 8-bits ADC. Finally,       
a digital processing stage streams the     
captured signal frames over a high speed      
wifi link.
ProbeClick® technology
IkaScope incorporates an intelligent   
probe tip (called ProbeClick®) that detects     
when pressure is applied. This allows     
important power saving since all power     
consuming circuitry is in stand-by when a      
measurement is not in progress. That     
same intelligent probe tip is used to turn       
ON IkaScope, which then turns OFF after      
10 minutes of non activity. During that      
period IkaScope keeps wifi connexion    
active for optimal responsiveness when    
quick measurements need to be made.
Connectivity options
Since IkaScope is designed to be used in       
the office on the field, both Station and       
AP wifi modes are supported. In other      
words, IkaScope may as well connect to      
your office or home Wifi network (when      
configured to do so) or may create its       
own Wifi Access Point to which another      
display device may connect.
Unpacking and first usage
IkaScope relies on a free application for      
display, analysis and configuration. You    
should first start by downloading and     
installing it on your favorite platform.     
Check ikalogic.com website for latest    
download link or search “ikascope” in the      
application store of your mobile device.
Turning ON IkaScope
After unpacking a new IkaScope, turn it      
ON by pressing the probe tip on any rigid        
surface for more than 1 second. At the       
very first usage, IkaScope will not have      
any configured Wifi networks in its     
memory, so it will automatically switch to      
AP (access point) mode. When IkaScope is      
correctly turned ON and operating in AP      
mode, Wifi status LED should be blinking      
in white color.
⚠ In some situations, IkaScope battery     
may be fully discharged. If that’s the case,       
please connect your IkaScope to a USB      
port with the provided cable to recharge      
it. Refer to the LEDs Behavior section to       
ensure the battery is being correctly     
charged. You may continue using    
IkaScope while it is charging.
First connection
At this stage, you should configure your      
display device (Smartphone, tablet or    
computer) to connect to the Wifi network      
created by IkaScope. This network’s SSID     
will start with “IKASCOPE” and will end      
with the serial number of your IkaScope      
device.
