iSlipstick RF iSlipstick RF contains all of the functionality of the standard iSlipstick plus many functions specifically for RF work. RF Calculators included with iSlipstick RF are: PATH LOSS – Enter all of the RF link parameters such as transmitter output power, antenna gain, cable loss, distance and frequency to find the actual RF level at the receiver. MICROWAVE DISH BEAMWIDTH & GAIN – Enter the dish size, frequency and efficiency to find the 3 dB beamwidth and antenna gain. WAVELENGTH – Metric & U.S. RETURN LOSS / VSWR – Enter forward and reflected power to find VSWR, reflection coefficient and return loss. FRESNEL ZONE – Enter link distance, obstacle distance and frequency to find the 60% and 80% zone radii. This calculator also provides a visual display of ground clearance. VELOCITY FACTOR (VOP) – Enter the dielectric constant of a coax to find the Velocity of Propagation and enter the cable length to find the propagation delay. This calculator can also find the necessary cable length for a given delay and VOP. INTERMODULATION – Enter up to six frequencies to find the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th intermod products that can be created. A 'hit' window can be set to eliminate out of band results. I.F. FREQUENCY – Enter the incoming carrier frequency and 1st local oscillator frequency to find the resulting I.F. and whether the spectrum is inverted or normal. This is a great calculator when working with up/down converters. INTERCEPT POINT – Once you have determined the levels of fundamental and intermodulation tones in a system, you can enter those values into this calculator to find either IP2 or IP3. Standard Calculators included in iSlipstick RF are: OHM'S LAW – Find voltage, current, resistance and power. REACTANCE – Find inductive and capacitive reactance by entering frequency and capacitance or inductance. RESONANCE – Find the resonant frequency of an inductor – capacitor pair. VOLTAGE DIVIDER – Enter the voltage into a resistor divider network to find the output voltage. PARALLEL RESISTOR – Enter up to six resistor values to find the resultant parallel resistance. SERIES and PARALLEL RLC – Enter R, C and L of a series or parallel circuit to find the impedance and phase angle. OP-AMP – Find the gain of either an inverting or non-inverting op-amp circuit. TIME CONSTANT - Find the first 5 time constants of both RC and RL circuits. Standard Converters included in iSlipstick RF are: RESISTOR COLOR CODE – Enter a resistor value to find the color code or enter the color code to find the resistor value. SMD RESISTOR – Enter 3 digit or 4 digit SMD codes to find the resistance value. Also does EIA-96 conversion. VOLTAGE CONVERTER – Convert between RMS, average, peak and p-p values. dB CONVERTER – Convert dBm, dBV, dBW and dBuV to absolute values and vice-versa in 50, 75 and 600 ohm load. TEMPERATURE – Convert between four popular scales. PERIOD – FREQUENCY – Convert waveform period to frequency and vice-versa. LENGTH, AREA, VOLUME, CAPACITY and WEIGHT – Convert from metric to U.S. and vice-versa. Also convert within same standard. A help page is also available as a quick function guide. Tested with iOS 12.0 thru iOS 15.1

"myVibrometer" is a tool for measuring accelerations/vibration in real time; activating the "recording" function the application will save on a file the: - Instantaneous values ​​of the vibration along the X, Y, Z; automatically calculates the minimum and maximum values ​​of vibration and the vibration energy per unit mass - The orientation data using the device's internal compass - The navigation data using the internal GPS receiver - The timestamp for each recorded data using the device's internal clock The recorded data are displayed graphically by the instrument with the ability of filtering for unwanted components. The graphs of the vibrations can be saved in the "Photo Album" of the device. Using the zoom/pan function you can view, save and send by e-mail just a detail of interest of the vibrations diagram. All data are saved in a (UTF8) text file. The text file containing the data can be: - sent using the mail client integrated of "myVibrometer" - shared and imported in a common analysis software for MAC / PC (ex. Numbers, Excel, Text Editor, etc. ...) using "iTunes File Sharing" or "Open In" Features: - Measurement of vibrations - Data is recorded on a text .csv file (UTF8 - the recorded data are " ; " delimited character formatted) - Orientation and navigation data recorded for each measurement of accelerations along the three axes X, Y, Z - Calculation of the energy of vibration - Calculation of the minimum and maximum accelerations along the x, y, z - Graphs of the accelerations recorded along the axes x, y, z - Zoom and pan of the diagrams of accelerations - Possibility to save the diagrams of accelerations in the "Photo Album" of the device - Ability to send by e-mail or share, using "iTunes File Sharing" or "Open In", the recorded data - Filter for diagrams along the axes X, Y, Z (the graphs can be filtered to better view only the desired data) - VIBRATIONS ALARM (the tool can be used to alarm for an oncoming earthquake - the user can choose the minimum threshold of vibration for the alarm) - Continuous recording with adjustable time window: from the last 5 seconds to the last 30 minutes ("myVibrometer" will erase automatically the oldest data) - Saving for the DATE and TIME for each data recorded (timestamp) - The recorded acceleration, orientation, navigation data and the corresponding date / time (for each acceleration value recorded) will be saved in a text file ".csv" ( " ; " delimited character ) - Function "CALIBRATE" for the calibration of the measuring instrument - "ITunes File Sharing": all the recorded values ​​can be copied to MAC / PC using iTunes software - "Open In" to share recorded data (.csv file UTF8) with dropbox / iCloud Drive or other installed apps - Dynamical graphical preview of the values ​​of the accelerations recorded (during measurement) - AirPrint to print the visualized accelerations diagram directly with "myVibrometer" app

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iSlipstick RF at 100% against myVibrometer's 33%. iSlipstick RF also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (4.7 vs 2.0). myVibrometer's advantage is chart position (#194 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
