NOW FREE : I thank everyone for the support along the way. Now everyone can enjoy this application for free! 

NFX Oscilloscope is a simple signal vs. amplitude analyser.

Currently there are two input options for the application. 

***** USB SUPPORT ****** (only for android 3.1 and greater) 

PLEASE ENSURE THE GABOTRONICS DEVICE IS UP TO DATE!!

The newest and best input option is a USB hardware device provided by Gabotronics.  USB host mode has now been compatible since android 3.1, therefore most new phones and tablets will support USB host mode (Please check device).  NFX Oscilloscope supports the Gabotronics Xprotolab/Xminilab, this has 2 analogue input channels and 8 digital channels and measures a tiny 2.5 x 4 cm!! The device it's self is a cheap portable alternative to most mainstream oscilloscopes, and has many different features.  Connecting the Xprotolab to the NFX Oscilloscope provides a powerful and cheap oscilloscope platform for your portable needs. For more information on the Xprotolab or Xminilab click the following links.

So match this application with the cheap device from gabotronics and you will get a great portable oscilloscope!
