Often I use my smartphone as a scanner (CamScanner), car GPS, voice recorder, security token, pedometer, light controller, and oh yeah, a phone. My electronics bench is currently home to a Bench Power Supply, an Oscilloscope, and a Function Generator. While good instruments, they should worried because they’re going to get replaced with one device: National Instrument’s VirtualBench. You might also be interested in my Full Video Review of the VirtualBench! This relatively small box (10in x 7.5in x 3xin) gives you a rack of equipment in a compact package. Plus, the performance of the instruments is seemingly good for the approx $2000 (USD) price point.
