Connectivity & Control
The oscilloscope features dual connectivity options. WiFi mode provides galvanic isolation between the scope and control device, making it safe for high-voltage measurements. USB mode offers reliable connection and device charging capabilities.
Wiring Quick-Start
Connect oscilloscope probes to the two BNC inputs (CH1 and CH2). Set probe attenuation on the software to match your probe (1×, 10×, 100×, or 1000×). For WiFi operation, ensure the device is powered on and connect to the "HANTEK_xxx" network from your control device.
Multi-Platform Software
Comprehensive software applications are available for Windows, Android, and iOS platforms. The software provides full oscilloscope functionality including:
- Real-time waveform display and analysis
- 20 automatic measurements (Vpp, Vmax, Vmin, frequency, period, rise time, etc.)
- Math functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, FFT
- Cursor measurements and pass/fail testing
- Data logging and waveform export capabilities
Battery Operation
Built-in lithium battery provides up to 4 hours of continuous operation, making this ideal for portable and field applications. The unit charges via USB connection.

Questions and Answers
-
Can I Export Measurement Data and Waveforms?
Yes. You can save waveforms as images (BMP or JPG) or as data files (TXT, CSV, Excel .xls or Word .doc).
-
What Sampling Rates Are Available for Dual-Channel Operation?
250MSa/s with one channel, or 125MSa/s per channel with both channels in use. For signals near the 70MHz bandwidth limit, use one channel for the highest sample rate.
-
How Does This Compare to Traditional Bench Oscilloscopes?
It offers similar bandwidth to entry-level bench scopes in a portable package, with 8-bit resolution like most of them. The main trade-off is memory depth: 6K points, against millions of points on typical bench scopes. In return you get portability and wireless operation.
-
What Software Features Are Included for Signal Analysis?
The Windows software includes:
- 20 automatic measurements (12 voltage and 8 time parameters)
- Math functions (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
- FFT spectrum analysis
- Cursor measurements
- Pass/fail testing
- Recording and playback
The iOS and Android apps offer fewer functions.
-
Is the Hantek iDSO-1070A Suitable for Automotive Diagnostics?
Hantek does not market it for automotive work, but it can be used there. It runs on battery and connects wirelessly, and Hantek states that floating measurement is available, which avoids ground loops with mains-powered equipment. The 70MHz bandwidth handles most automotive signals. The input limit is still 35Vpk, so use a suitably rated probe. For dedicated automotive work, see the Hantek automotive oscilloscope range.
-
What Devices Can Control the Hantek iDSO-1070A Oscilloscope?
It works with:
- Windows PCs
- Android phones and tablets (Android 4.0 or later)
- iPhone and iPad
The Windows software has the full feature set. The iOS app has fewer functions (for example CSV export and two cursor types), and Hantek describes Android support as partial.
-
How Does WiFi Connectivity Work and Is It Secure for Measurements?
In direct mode the oscilloscope creates its own WiFi network, named on the label on the unit, and you connect to it from your device; no internet connection is needed. A router mode is also available. The wireless link means there is no cable to the control device, but the input limit stays at 35Vpk.
-
What Is the Maximum Voltage I Can Safely Measure?
The maximum input voltage at the scope input is 35Vpk (DC + AC peak). With a 10× probe that allows up to 350Vpk at the probe tip, provided the probe itself is rated for it. Always check the probe specifications match your measurement.
-
How Long Does the Battery Last and How Do I Charge It?
The built-in lithium battery gives about 4 hours of use. It charges over USB, from a computer or a 5V 1A USB adaptor.
-
What Probe Attenuation Settings Are Supported?
The software supports 1×, 10×, 100× and 1000× probe attenuation. Set the attenuation in the software to match your probe, or voltage readings will be wrong. The included probes are 1×/10× switchable.
