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,
