This powerful high speed PC based oscilloscope combines fast sampling up to 500MSa/s with high resolutions of 12, 14 and 16bit, a large memory of 32MS and an extremely accurate built-in 40MHz 14bit Constant Data Size (CDS) arbitrary waveform generator with 24V peak to peak output, generating true form signals. The oscilloscope supports continuous streaming measurements up to 20MSa/s and can be synchronized with other oscilloscopes using the CMI interface to form a multi channel combined instrument with synchronized time base. The CMI interface is available by default on the Handyscope HS5. Optionally, the Handyscope HS5 can be delivered with SureConnect connection test and resistance measurement on each channel.
The Handyscope HS5 measures with high resolutions of 14 and 16bit. A signal measured with the Handyscope HS5 therefore has 256 times more resolution than most standalone oscilloscopes, which usually have a low resolution of 8 or 9bit. The high resolution of the Handyscope HS5 precision oscilloscope allows for measuring signals with more accuracy, because the quantization error is much lower.
The flexibility and quality that the Handyscope HS5 offers is unparalleled by any other oscilloscope and function generator in its class.

SureConnect Option
The SureConnect connection test feature for the Handyscope HS5 tells you immediately whether your test probe or clip actually makes electrical contact or not. No more doubt whether your probe doesn't make contact or there really is no signal!
TiePie engineering is the first oscilloscope manufacturer to implement SureConnect technology. While measuring, the revolutionary SureConnect technology checks in real time whether a test probe is in physical and electrical contact with the test subject.
Assuring a good connection of a probe with a test subject may not always be easy. The subject under measurement may be dirty, oxidized or an (invisible) protective layer may be present. Also, the test subject may be hidden, making visible contact confirmation impossible. A 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.
This USB oscilloscope also contains a function / arbitrary waveform generator that is able to produce every signal that is needed. Together with the 2 measurement channels this oscilloscope is an excellent measurement tool to troubleshoot circuits.
Low Distortion Arbitrary Waveform Generator
The Handyscope HS5 is the first High Resolution USB oscilloscope with a built-in 30MHz low distortion function generator. The built-in Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses CDS signal synthesis technology, developed by TiePie engineering, resulting in the best signal fidelity in its class, generating the true form of your signals. With spurious distortion as low as -85dB at a 100kHz signal frequency, a very flat amplitude spectrum and a rise time of 8ns, the low distortion function generator creates signals that approach perfection.
Multimeter
The multimeter in the Multi Channel oscilloscope software turns your Handyscope into a multimeter that can be used to measure or monitor specific properties of a signal, like True RMS value, frequency, maximum value etc. The Multi Channel oscilloscope software multimeter can have any number of fully configurable displays, either displaying the measured value as a number or using a gauge display. When using a gauge display, it can be very helpful when adjusting a circuit for a specific property, e.g. adjusting an offset to zero.
Protocol analyzer
A protocol analyzer is a measuring instrument that analyzes one or more signals that are used to communicate between electronic devices according a specific protocol. A protocol analyzer examines the signals and decodes the information that is transferred. The decoded information can be displayed in graphs, meter sinks and table sinks.
A protocol analyzer is a useful tool when developing a hardware and/or software implementation of a communication bus. It can also be used when debugging device or bus failures.
The Multi Channel oscilloscope software contains the following protocol analyzers:
-
CAN bus decoder
-
J1939 decoder
-
I2C decoder
-
UART / Serial decoder
-
SPI decoder
Large Memory (Option XM)
When measuring at high sample rates, a long record length/large memory is necessary to be able to record a complete signal in the acquisition buffer. Where most oscilloscopes have 2.5kS or 100kS memory, the Handyscope HS5 with option XM has 32MS memory per channel. This gives the user 300 to 10000 times more memory. An advantage of a large memory is that once-only fast phenomena can be captured completely. For example complete serial communications, like CAN bus signals, can be measured all in one record to be reviewed and analyzed afterwards.
Multi Channel Synchronization
The Handyscope HS5 is equipped with a sophisticated CMI synchronization bus, allowing to connect multiple Handyscope HS5s to each other by means of TP-C50H Coupling cable CMIs, to use them as a combined and synchronized instrument. All instruments will measure at the same sample frequency (0ppm deviation!). Apart from a synchronization bus, the CMI also contains a trigger bus and a detection bus. The maximum number of instruments is only limited by the number of available USB ports.
When the instruments are located further apart, yet have to be combined and synchronized, the Wireless Multi Instrument Synchronization Module WCMI can be used. The WCMI modules are connected to the extension port of the instruments and allow to synchronize instruments that are up to 400m apart.
