Ergonomics advances enhance test and measurement user experience

Over the last years, Ikalogic has worked hand in hand with ergonomics experts to enhance current instruments.

The company started by focusing on two main product families: Logic analysers and oscilloscopes.

A logic analyser software solution - ScanaStudio V3 - was designed from the ground up with one clear goal: be as intuitive as a software can get.

At the same time the user interface had to keep up with ever evolving features without becoming cluttered.

That’s a challenge that required a thorough study of products and features roadmap.

This is what Ikalogic calls being future proof, and they consider this a prerequisite for keeping their promise of enhanced user experience.

Pushing ergonomics to highest standards, meant having a wireless, light-weight oscilloscope probe.

No cables getting tangled, no ground loops to worry about, and above all, no degradation in performance due to miniaturisation.

The challenging process of building that instrument led to patent filing and the creation of IkaScope, a probe that connects to a smartphone or a PC via wifi to display measured signals. Enhancing ergonomics didn’t only mean going wireless.

Ikalogic has packed IkaScope with simple but very effective features, like the intelligent probe tip that replaces both the power switch and RUN/STOP button in a traditional oscilloscope.

“Innovation is complicated, and changing user habits is even more challenging” says Ibrahim. He is aware that getting groundbreaking ideas adopted is not as easy as it may seem.

Along next years Ikalogic is going to continue releasing products and updates according to the roadmap, while promoting its vision of Augmented Instrument.
