Picoscope Tablet

[richfinn]

I bought the Panasonic CF D1 tablet used (nice big 13" screen), the Pico automotive 2 channel scope was cheap and unused from eBay, free software from Picoscope and I already have all the probes, current clamps and accessories from other scopes I've previously owned. The tablet connects to a mobile 4G LTE thingymabob in the van so I can download waveforms and look up tech info/diagrams on the Toughbook.

I had to modify the handle a little bit to get it to fit.

It's heavy, but I think it will be pretty rugged compared to the Laptops I've destroyed over the years

I would like to find a 90 degree USB connection for the tablet end it to make it less vulnerable (no luck yet with that.)

Pico makes a shielded right angle adapter cable, I got mine from Jarhead Diag.




The tablet has downsides, but it's much more practical than a laptop overall IMO.

1ft USB Cable — Jarhead Diagnostics

1 ft USB-A to USB-B 3.0 cable. USB-A side is at a left angle and USB-B side is at a right angle.

Thanks for the links, I kind of want to try a one piece cable rather than adapters though, but I will give it a shot if I can't get hold of the Jarhead cable

Awesome, I will ask Warwick Test Supplies to see if he can get me one in his next shipment, Pico UK don't seem to ever have it in stock

Nice set up BTW
