Mike's tablet oscilloscope can stream videos, but misses a decode
The Micsig review combines waveform tests with a teardown, down to the battery, shielding and input connectors.

Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 5:21SPI tests reveal a trigger-position setting Mike changes to make better use of the display.
- 13:28Segmented capture works, but protocol decoding fails during playback.
- 26:11Zooming and scaling demonstrate low quantisation noise from the scope's 12-bit acquisition.
- 27:30The underlying Android system includes a browser, user guide and screen recorder.
- 35:00The teardown exposes the battery, fan, shielding and mainboard components.
- 40:17Mike examines rugged input-connector mounting and a maintenance concern around the multimeter sockets.
An oscilloscope with a web browser offers Mike a small diversion: he can watch YouTube on the instrument he is reviewing. The more consequential discovery in "Micsig MHO14 12-bit tablet scope" is less entertaining: protocol decoding fails when he plays back captures in segmented storage mode.
That older review is the busiest of mikeselectricstuff's uploads right now, during a week with nothing new posted. Micsig and Telonic Instruments supplied the scope for review. Mike checks its controls, demonstrates serial-data decoding and tests the acquisition resolution before opening the case. He finds plenty to like, but keeps returning to practical irritations, including the missing fine timebase adjustment and awkward data-entry choices.
The channel added roughly 5,000 views over the week, while its subscriber total stayed at 135,000. Daily viewing is currently above its usual level, even without a fresh upload.
Electrical hardware supplies the other active corners of the archive: "Solax X1 EV charger (EVSE)" offers an overview, teardown and tests, while "Longood 5kW CCS Vehicle to Load (V2L) adapter" examines a device for drawing AC power from EV batteries without built-in V2L support. Between those and the scope, there is a distinctly Mike-shaped catch-up available: not just what a box promises, but what its controls and circuitry actually do.
