Pokit Pro

Multimeters, oscilloscopes and data loggers are essential test and measurement tools used by students, technicians, electricians, engineers, hobbyists and DIY home enthusiasts. However, conventional tools can be bulky, expensive and difficult to use. The key design challenge was to develop a device that makes test and measurement tools accessible by integrating the function of several tools in one, increasing portability, lowering cost and improving usability without compromising safety. The Pokit Pro needed to meet high bar of functionality set by the Pokit Meter (a previous design award winner) while safely extending its capabilities and range to 600V, CATIII, 10A.

Pokit Pro achieves 600V, 10A ratings in a compact hand held product. This required the development of innovative enclosures which form serpentine structures that meet safety clearances in a compact form. In addition, the enclosure materials had to be optimized for strength, thermally conductivity and fire retardation in order to meet safety standards. The circuitry is highly integrated in order to implement multiple tools in one. The product is ultra-low power and can operate for several months on a single charge. Usability is enhanced through connecting to a smart phone with stunning graphics and intuitive touch functionality and expandable features.

Pokit Pro makes test tools accessible to students, hobbyists and enthusiasts due to its versatility and low cost. It also provides unprecedented portability to field technicians and engineers. Pro raised over $1.5M on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo, selling over 12,000 units in a few months. The development of the product has been driven by strong community engagement. Multimeter, oscilloscopes and loggers typically cost hundreds and thousands of dollars. Pokit Pro retails for less than US$150. Pro uses much less material that conventional bulky tools. This means less waste. Its also Ultra-power efficient and runs for months on a single charge.

Pokit Pro is the perfect tool for DIY, technicians and engineers who crave accurate test equipment, without the prohibitive price tag. Small enough to fit in your pocket, it can be taken it anywhere. Pokit Pro device works by connecting to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. It has an intuitive touch user interface which will make users question the complexity of traditional test and measurement equipment. Although pokit is simple to use, it has the power and accuracy of a multimeter, oscilloscope and data logger combined. Pokit Pro is a full-featured CATIII, 600V, 10A Multimeter that accurately measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, capacitance and temperature. It also includes a continuity and diode checker. Measurements are displayed in real-time on the smartphone app, with auto-ranging. Pokit Pro supports a mulitchannel Digital Storage Oscilloscope by connecting up to 4 Pokit Pro devices. This allows users to capture detailed voltage, current and ambient temperature waveforms for display on a smartphone from multiple inputs. Pokit Pro also functions as a stand-alone data logger that logs temperature, voltage or current waveforms for periods up to 6 months, without connection to a phone.
