HANDYSCOPE HS4 instrument description HANDYSCOPE MODEL HS4 4 Channel Portable Instrument Connected to USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 MOST PORTABLE TiePie engineering introduces the Handyscope model HS4, a portable and compact MOST (Multimeter, Oscilloscope, Spectrum analyzer and Transient recorder). As four channel measuring device with a 50 MS/s sample rate, a 12-16 resolution and 128 KSamples memory per channel, the Handyscope HS4 is the first four channel MOST in the world which can be connected to a PC (USB2.0 and USB 1.1 compatible), without external power supply. Because of the very extensive and accessible Windows based software, the user is offered many measuring possibilities With good reason you can say the Handyscope HS4 is really "Plug in and Measure": Portable Instruments "Plug in" = connect one cable "Measure" = read a SET file and measuring can start frequency regulators, TV signals as well as many low-frequency measuring applications as industrial production machines, office automatisation (photocopier, telephone exchange), sensor measurements, mains voltage measurements, start-up current at motors, mains pollution measurements, checking slow running processes (like temperature, pressure and moistness), sound analyses, vibration measurements (like machines, buildings), trend measurements and single failure detection measurements. Software Besides the very good hardware qualities (50 MS/s sample rate, 0.2 up to 80 Volt input range, 12-16 bit resolution, 128 Kword memory per channel and fine trigger options), the Handyscope HS4 also has a powerful software pack. Because of all these qualities, there is no better measuring instrument, in the same pricing range and with the same possibilities, for sale in the world. The software is object oriented and has a built in option that prevents "jamming". Other strong points are that most adjustments graphically can be done by the mouse. You can "grab" the tips of the x-axis and y-axis scrollbars and "live" increase and decrease them. The diagrams are directly enlarged or reduced. Because of the availability of the four different measuring instruments: oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, voltmeter and transient recorder almost every measuring problem can be solved. General The interesting point of the Handyscope HS4 is that once it is connected to a standard PC, there are offered a lot of measuring options which are normally only obtained by using several instruments. The range of applications for the Handyscope HS4 are fast signals; like serial data communication,

Handyscope HS4 general description Instrument settings Input range The practical side of the software is that the "software instruments", for instance the oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer, are linked to each other. When in the oscilloscope the input sensitivity is changed, this is also immediately visible in the spectrum analyzer (and voltmeter). Striking are the extensive possibilities of the cross wires. A remarkable point is the auto correction option of the cross wires. Through this the cross wires are put in such a way that over a complete number of periods, for example the true RMS...

Handyscope HS4 general description Data export General comment The measured data can easily be processed in a spreadsheet. Exporting data can be done in ASCII (CSV), so it can be read in a spreadsheet program. All instrument settings can be saved in SET files according the Windows INI file structure. By reading the SET file, the instrument is completely configured so the measurement can start immediately. Together with each data file an information file is stored. In the data file all measured samples (ASCII or binary) are saved. In the information file all instrument settings are saved....

Handyscope HS4 general description USB port The Handyscope HS4 is connected to the USB port of a PC. The Handyscope HS4 supports both USB2.0 High Speed mode (480 Mbit/sec ) and USB 1.1 Full Speed mode (12 Mbit/sec). Because of this, it should not give any problem when using the Handyscope HS3 on older PC's. Because the Handyscope HS4 is suitable for USB 2.0, a very high data transfer rate can be obtained. Virtual instrumentation TiePie engineering is one of the few manufacturers who is developing and selling virtual instruments for more than 17 years, over the whole world. Price performance...
