ABSTRACT

Title: Android Based Portable Test And Measurement Unit.

Group No: 12
An oscilloscope, previously called an oscillograph, and informally known as a scope, CRO or
DSO is a type of electronic test instrument that allows observation of constantly varying signal voltages,
usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences using the vertical or yaxis, plotted as a function of time. Handy Oscilloscope is most important gadget in this mobile generation.
Where no one is sitting at a place to finish their works . We all are in hurry and needs gadgets follow our
moves. The system can be easily carried from one place to another and work efficiently as an oscilloscope.
To implement an oscilloscope using mobile instead of carrying another gadget which is a good idea
Android based oscilloscope which requires nothing but a small circuitry to manage inputs.
Android OS is selected because there are a decent number of Android device users and most of
these devices satisfy the requirements of the oscilloscopes software application. The hardware device
includes circuitry to capture the input voltage signals and an embedded USB module for transmitting the
captured signal information to an Android device for displaying the waveform. For optimal use of the
available bandwidth, the application provides two modes of operation, namely single channel mode where
only channel 1 is operational and dual channel mode where both channels 1 and 2 are operational.

INTRODUCTION:
An oscilloscope is the basic measurement device for anyone involved in hardware tinkering: it
allows you to see how the voltage behaves at any point in your design, at any moment in time. Much like
a breakpoint in software, which allows you to verify the value of all variables at a certain moment in time.
This system represents an oscilloscope implemented using new technology, with low power consumption.
It is a USB embedded device which will capture input voltage signal and transmit them to an external
device, such as a smart phone, running the Android operating system.
The term Android has its origin in the Greek word andr-, meaning man or male and the suffix
- eides, used to mean alike or of the species. This together means as much as being human. Android is
a software stack for mobile devices which means a reference to a set of system programs or a set of
application programs that form a complete system.

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Block diagram consist of following blocks:1. Analog Switch:It is used to select different types of coupling such as AC/DC/GN.
2. Amplifier:Using amplifier the input is amplify at a level so as to use for further processing.
3. ADC:ADC is used for conversion of analog to digital signal which is compatible with
microcontroller.

4. Microcontroller:It will accept a digital input from ADC and perform required operation based on algorithm.
5. Power Supply:It is used to provide power to all circuit.

6. Android Smartphone:The Smartphone display is used to display waveform. Using USB Smartphone and microcontroller
are connected..
ADVANTAGES:
1. Portable device.
2. Platform independent.
3. Low Power Consumption.
APPLICATIONS:
This system will used to capture an input voltage signal and it will display on Smartphone screen.
CONCLUSIONS:
This system represents a USB embedded device i.e. oscilloscope that selects optimum sampling
rate and gain according to the setting selected.
This system has the advantage that, the Android application can be upgraded to provide more
features without doing changes to hardware, which helps to improve the device standard and user
experience.
