IkaScope WS200
The IkaScope WS200 is a highly portable, wireless oscilloscope designed for ease of use and mobility. It features a single channel with a 30 MHz bandwidth and employs patented ProbeClick® technology for automatic measurement initiation and termination. The device connects via WiFi to smartphones, tablets, or computers for easy signal display and measurement.
This oscilloscope is suitable for on-site maintenance, isolated measurements, design troubleshooting, education, research, and use in the manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive industries.
- 200 MSPS sampling rate
- Compatibility with Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, and iOS
- 1-week battery life with 20 measurements per day
- ProbeClick® technology for efficient power management
Timing: 200 MSPS max sampling rate, 12 ns rise time

Bandwidth vs Vertical Range: Varies from 30 MHz to 50 MHz depending on the vertical range setting
The IkaScope WS200 includes a probe tip, ground lead connection, status LEDs, and a micro-USB charging port. It operates by converting signals to digital values, which are streamed over WiFi.
The device supports both Station and Access Point (AP) WiFi modes, allowing it to connect to existing networks or create its own access point.
Users should download the IkaScope application for their platform. The device is activated by pressing the probe tip on a rigid surface, and initial setup involves connecting to the IkaScope's WiFi network.
- Battery Status LED: Indicates charging status and battery level
- WiFi Status LED: Indicates WiFi mode and connection status
The software interface provides options for connection, measurements, and device status. Users can measure signals once the device and application are connected to the same network.
The IkaScope app is compatible with Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu, Android, and iOS platforms.
Weight: 60 gm
The device complies with international standards, including FCC, CE, ROHS, and others, and meets safety standards IEC NF/EN 61010-1 and UL 61010-1.
Users should adhere to safety instructions to prevent electrical shock or fire. The device should not be used for measuring mains circuits or circuits not isolated from mains.
The IkaScope WS200 has specific safety and operational guidelines. It is crucial not to exceed a voltage of ±40V from earth ground and to ensure electrical isolation between the USB port and measurement ports is not used for mains circuit isolation. Users should verify correct operation by measuring a known voltage first and comply with local safety codes, using personal protective equipment to prevent shock. The device should not be operated with covers removed or in wet conditions, and it should only be recharged from a compliant USB port (5V ± 0.1V, 500mA).
The device contains a 3.7V 420mAh lithium battery. It should only be recharged within a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C on a flat surface away from flammable materials. The probe tip should not be pressed for more than 2 minutes to avoid overheating. Users should not attempt to open the device or replace the battery themselves. Recharging should not exceed 3 hours, and only the provided USB cable should be used. The device should not be stored uncharged for long periods or exposed to temperatures beyond 10°C to 40°C.
The IkaScope WS200 comes with a ground connection probe, protective cap, USB charging cable, and a quick start guide.
For ordering information, users can visit the Ikalogic website or contact customer support. Accessories and maintenance services are also available.
The product comes with a three-year warranty for the test tool and a two-year warranty for accessories, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use. The warranty does not cover misuse or damage from abnormal conditions. Ikalogic limits liability for special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
The document has undergone several updates, with the latest on 27-November-2020, focusing on safety information and operational guidelines.

IkaScope WS200 Ultra portable oscilloscope 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...

IkaScope WS200 Ultra portable oscilloscope Figure 5: Ikascope application screenshot Note: IkaScope device must be turned ON to be connected to a network. If all LEDs are switched OFF, please turn ON IkaScope by pressing on the probe tip for 1 second. Finally, press IkaScope probe tip on the pad where an electric signal needs to be measured. You should hear a “click” sound, and feel a vibration in the device: This means that data is being streamed to the application. Keep the pressure on the tip until you see signals appearing in the application (This can take between 100 and 800 milliseconds)....
