Handyscope HS6 low noise USB 3.0 oscilloscope launched

The Handyscope HS6 has a flexible resolution that can be set from eight bit to 16 bit, allowing to perform high resolution measurements. With its high accuracy (0.25%) and low noise (240µVRMS), measured signals are presented with high fidelity.

The Handyscope HS6 features TiePie engineering's unique CMI interface. It allows to connect more Handyscope HS6's together to create an instrument with multiple measuring channels with the same sample frequency (0ppm deviation).

Why: The user can easy expand the number of channels without changing software, difficult software settings or buying expensive hardware. CMI = Combine Multiple Instruments, meaning that the CMI interface offers the possibility of an eight, 16, 32 or even 128 channel oscilloscope or data recorder where all channels are measured fully synchronised with sampling rates up to 1 GSa/s and resolutions up to 16 bit.

Also unique to TiePie engineering is the SureConnect connection test option. While measuring, the revolutionary SureConnect technology checks in real time whether a test probe is in physical and electrical contact with the test subject.

Why: Assuring a good connection of a probe with a test subject may not always be easy. The subject under measurement may be dirty, oxidised or an (invisible) protective layer may be present. Also, the test subject may be hidden, making visible contact confirmation impossible.

Capacitive coupling between test probe and test subject can result in measuring a distorted version of the actual signal, wrongly suggesting a connection.

SureConnect however immediately shows you whether a good connection is present. The Handyscope HS6 features a USB 3.0 interface with 5Gb/s data transfer.

Why: It offers a fast data transport of 200 MSamples per second USB streaming Data logger. There are no other USB instruments that can stream faster.

Some other features of the Handyscope HS6 are:

• 1GSa/s sampling and flexible resolution of 8-16 bit.
• Four input channels with up to 250 MHz analog bandwidth.
• Low noise: 240 µVrms at 14 bit resolution, 90 µVrms at 16 bit resolution.
• Highly accurate 1 ppm time base.
• DC Accuracy of 0.25 and 0.1% typical.
• Very fast 200 MSamples per second USB streaming Data logger.
• Up to 256 Mpoints memory per channel.
• SureConnect connection test on all channels.
