TiePie WiFiScope WS5, 2-Channel 16Bit, 250MHz WiFi Oscilloscope with Arbiträry Generator
This powerful high speed WiFi oscilloscope combines fast sampling up to 500MSa/s with high resolutions of 12, 14 and 16bit, a large memory of 64MSamples 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 WiFiScope WS5. Optionally, the WiFiScope WS5 can be delivered with SureConnect connection test and resistance measurement on each channel. Furthermore there is the option of the warranty time extended to 5 years.
Sophisticated software
By means of the supplied comfortable software the WiFiScope WS5 can also be used as a multimeter, spectrum analyzer, data logger/transient recorder, protocol analyzer or high-precision arbitrary waveform generator.
The WiFiScope WS5 is available in 3 models which differ in their sampling rate. They can be ordered with the options of an extended buffer memory, SureConnect feature and with an extended warranty. (Please select when ordering!)

The flexibility and quality that the WiFiScope WS5 offers is unparalleled by any other oscilloscope and function generator in its class.
Rugged industrial design
The WiFiScope WS5 features a rugged design. Its enclosure is fitted with rubber protectors at the front and the rear. These protect the WiFiScope WS5 against damage by mechanical shocks. The rubber helps absorbing shocks and protects the connectors at the front and the rear of the WiFiScope WS5, these fall within the protected zone.
Additionally, the rubber prevents your WiFiScope WS5 from sliding. The rubber protectors have special notches that simplify stacking instruments. Holes are included that allow to connect a strap to hang the instrument near the test subject.
SureConnect
The optional SureConnect connection test feature of the WiFiScope WS5 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 if there really is no signal.
Multi instrument synchronisation
The WiFiScope WS5 is equipped with a sophisticated CMI synchronization bus, allowing to connect multiple WiFiScope WS5s 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.
High accuracy
The WiFiScope WS5 measures with high resolutions of 14 and 16bit. A signal measured with the WiFiScope WS5 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 WiFiScope WS5 precision oscilloscope allows for measuring signals with more accuracy, because the quantization error is much lower.
Large memory
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 2.5kSamples or 100kSamples memory, the WiFiScope WS5 has 32MSamples 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.
Low distortion Arbitrary Waveform Generator
The WiFiScope WS5 is the first High Resolution WiFi oscilloscope with built-in 40MHz 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 100kHz signal frequency, a very flat amplitude spectrum and a rise time of 8ns, the low distortion function generator creates signals that approach perfection.
Oscilloscope and Generator synchronization
The High Resolution WiFi oscilloscope and the arbitrary waveform generator in the WiFiScope WS5 can be easily synchronized by setting the trigger source of the oscilloscope to one or more generator trigger events: start, stop and new period.
WiFi connected
Using a computer based oscilloscope was never easier than with the WiFiScope WS4 DIFF: simply switch it on and start the software on the computer:
- no power cables required as it is battery powered and can operate hours on a fully charged battery
- no interface cables required as it uses WiFi to connect to the computer
This allows you to measure fully floating, fully isolated from your computer. The WiFiScope WS4 DIFF can be placed near any test subject that may be hard to reach, or on moving objects, where wired connections are not possible.
Because the WiFiScope WS4 DIFF is not connected to the computer, there is no risk of damaging the computer.
LAN connected
When measuring in remote locations where a wired network is available, the WiFiScope WS4 DIFF can also be used through its LAN port. Measurements can then be performed from any location via the network, without having the computer to be close to the test subject.
Using its 1 Gbit LAN connection, the WiFiScope WS4 DIFF can achieve higher streaming performance than via WiFi.
USB connected
When wireless measuring or LAN connected measuring is not required or not possible, the WiFiScope WS4 DIFF can also be connected via its USB port. This gives the benefit of even higher streaming performance.
