Four channel USB 3.0 oscilloscope can connect which comes in Handy
TiePie engineering has introduced the Handyscope HS6, a four channel, high resolution, low noise USB 3.0 oscilloscope. The Handysope HS6 is available in models with 200Msamples per second up to 1Gsample per second.
Resolution that can be set from 8-bit to 16-bit and accuracy is 0.25 per cent. The low noise (240V rms) Handyscope has TiePie engineering’s CMI interface supports automatic recognition of instruments. It allows multiple Handyscope HS6s to be connected together to create an instrument with multiple measuring channels with the same sample frequency (0 ppm deviation). In this way, the user can expand the number of channels without changing software or investing in expensive hardware. It also offers the possibility of an eight, 16, 32 or 128 channel oscilloscope or data recorder where all channels are measured fully synchronised.
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. The SureConnect connection test option checks – in real-time – whether a test probe is in physical and electrical contact with the test subject. Capacitive coupling between test probe and test subject can result in measuring a distorted version of the 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 5Gbit per second data transfer. There are no other USB instruments that can stream faster claims TiePie.
Founded in 1987, the Dutch company TiePie engineering manufactures quality computer controlled test and measurement equipment, such as Wi-Fi, LAN and USB oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators, function generators, spectrum analysers, protocol analysers, data loggers and multimeters.
TiePie products offer real-time SureConnect connection testing, SafeGround protection and combining multiple instruments using TiePie’s CMI bus.
TiePie’s compact oscilloscopes, function generators and other data acquisition products are used in many markets, including industrial process automation, automotive test and measurement, service departments, medical applications, research centres and educational institutes.
