The Evolution of Testing Gear

Testing is a crucial part of making anything, whether you’re a professional engineer or a hobbyist. But effective testing requires the right tools, and this is where we’ve seen some really exciting developments over the past few years.

The challenges posed by outdated tools

Desktop oscilloscopes and multimeters are necessary testing equipment, but they haven’t changed much over time. Generally, they are bulky and expensive, and require mains power to work.

For most makers, this means being confined to the workbench. If you work in engineering or a similar profession, you’ll know just how frustrating it is to be limited in what you can do outside the lab or workshop.

If you’re a hobbyist who likes tinkering at home, you’ll know that making headway without the right test and measuring tools is difficult, and yet many hobbyists live without the necessary tools because traditional tools are often too expensive.

The new generation of tools

But thanks to the invention of mobile technology and Bluetooth, there is a whole new generation of measuring and testing tools that can benefit makers everywhere.

Tools can now be both portable and powerful. The development of Bluetooth technologies means that we can now achieve data acquisition with wireless connectivity at a smaller cost than ever before.

Pokit is one of these next generation devices, and it has been created to fill the need for powerful, portable and cost-effective tools.

Using the combined power of your phone and Bluetooth, Pokit can take measurements quickly and accurately, wherever you choose to work.
