Husker Scope provides an all-in-one cross platform application that implements a Dual Channel (DC) Function Generator, DC AM/FM Modulator, DC Oscilloscope, DC Spectrum Analyzer, and an 8-channel Logic Analyzer. This app outputs audio range (20Hz to 20kHz) signals via the speakers / 3.5mm audio jack left & right channels and inputs signals either through the microphone audio jack (for audio input ranges) or through a custom hardware board (that can handle up to 500kHz signals). The hardware board can connect through serial on a PC or through Bluetooth on a mobile device. For more information and to view the custom hardware board, visit: https://www.huskerscope.com
Fluxmeter
This utility app detects invisible electromagnetic fields using your device's magnetometer. It scans for alternating current waves from power lines and unshielded devices, employing a unique algorithm to isolate local magnetic flux.
- Detects electromagnetic fields
- Uses device magnetometer
- Scans for 50/60hz AC waves
- Measures local magnetic flux
- Proprietary zeroing algorithm

Measure the invisible electromagnetic fields that surround us. This utility uses your device's built in magnetometer to scan for 50/60hz alternating current waves, emanating from power lines and unshielded devices that use alternating current, such as desk fans, space heaters, or toasters. Fluxmeter uses a proprietary algorithm to "zero" out the Earth's magnetic field, allowing measurement of the local area magnetic flux only.
