About PSLab
PSLab provides tools for science and electronics experiments. Some measurements, including light and pressure, can use sensors built into an Android phone. The available measurements depend on the phone's hardware.
A compatible Pocket Science Lab device adds instruments such as an oscilloscope, multimeter, waveform generator, and logic analyzer. The app can record and export measurement data. This makes it useful for examining signals or keeping a record of an experiment.
The native app is free. External laboratory measurements need separately obtained PSLab hardware. On Android, connecting that hardware requires USB Host support and an OTG cable. Check the publisher's current connection guide for iPhone hardware support.
