Has anyone any experience of using one of these
Velleman Wifi Scope
http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/velleman-2...e-wfs210-n71dp
Maplin's have them for 80 quid. I was just wondering if this would be of use when working on the live side of SMPS where obviously you can not attach a normal scope without an isolation transformer or doing something dangerous with the scopes earth connection.
I do have an isolation transfomer which I use to power the device under test when practical but it's not an easy thing to lug around
As the wifi scope is battery powered and completely isolated (via wifi) from the PC it would seem it could be rather useful for this purpose.
Any thoughts?
