TiePie WiFiScope WS6 DIFF, 4-Channel, 16Bit, 250MHz Differential WiFi Oscilloscope
This powerful high speed WiFi oscilloscope combines fast sampling up to 1GSa/s with high resolutions of 12, 14 and 16bit and a large memory of 64MSa on all four differential channels. The oscilloscope supports continuous streaming measurements up to 200MSa/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 WS6 DIFF. Optionally, the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF can be delivered with SureConnect connection test and resistance measurement on each channel. Also, the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF can be delivered with SafeGround option. With SafeGround you can switch the differential inputs of the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF into single ended inputs with ground protection. It allows to make measurements using standard attenuating probes and protects the scope when a short circuit to ground is created.
The WiFiScope WS6 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, SafeGround feature, EMI pre compliance testing and with an extended warranty. (Please select when ordering!)

The flexibility and quality that the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF offers is unparalleled by any other oscilloscope in its class.
Sophisticated measuring software
By means of the supplied Multi Channel Oscilloscope Software the scope can also be used as a data logger, multimeter, spectrum analyzer and protocol analyzer.
Besides measuring in block mode as oscilloscope, the WiFiScope WS4 DIFF is also capable of performing continuous streaming measurements as data logger. This will create a continuous uninterrupted data stream to the computer. The data can then be displayed on the screen and/or saved to disk.
Rugged industrial design
The WiFiScope WS6 DIFF features a rugged design. Its enclosure is fitted with rubber protectors at the front and the rear. These protect the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF against damage by mechanical shocks. The rubber helps absorbing shocks and protects the connectors at the front and the rear of the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF, these fall within the protected zone.
Additionally, the rubber prevents your WiFiScope WS6 DIFF 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.
Differential inputs
The WiFiScope WS6 DIFF features four isolated differential input channels. This makes it the ideal instrument to perform measurements in high voltage circuits, amplifiers, switch mode power supplies, power inverters etc.
This feature is important for operating the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF via Ethernet/LAN or USB 3.0 connection, so there is no longer any risk of causing short circuits through your oscilloscope!.
SafeGround option
SafeGround gives the possibility to use the oscilloscope inputs both as single ended and as differential. When SafeGround is active and you accidentally create a wrong connection that causes a short circuit, SafeGround will disconnect the ground of the input channel without damaging the oscilloscope or PC.
SureConnect option
The SureConnect connection test feature of the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF 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.
Optional EMI pre compliance testing
The powerful capabilities of the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF - 1000XMESG EMI analyzer give the user the possibility to quickly perform a good EMI compliance test. With this cost effective test, time and money are saved by avoiding extra visits to expensive EMC testing facilities. The supplied EMI probe set TP-EMI-HS6 contains three magnetic field (H field) probes and one electric field (E field) probe. The tripod ensures that the probes can be positioned properly at the object under test.
Multi instrument synchronisation
The WiFiScope WS6 DIFF is equipped with a sophisticated CMI synchronization bus, allowing to connect multiple WiFiScope WS6 DIFFs 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 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 400 m apart.
High accuracy
The WiFiScope WS6 DIFF measures with high resolutions of 14 and 16bit. A signal measured with the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF 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 WS6 DIFF 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 2.5kSa or 100kSa memory, the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF has up to 256 MSa memory per channel, depending on the selected resolution and the number of active channels. When measuring at 14 bit resolution and all four channels, the available memory is 32MSa per channel. This gives the user 300 to 100000 times more memory. An advantage of a large memory is that once-only fast phenomena can be captured accurately or complete serial communication signal blocks can be measured all at once. For example complete serial communications, like CAN bus signals, can be measured all in one record to be reviewed and analyzed afterwards.
Bandwidth limit
It seems reasonable to assume that more bandwidth is better, but a wider bandwidth gives more noise. To reduce your noise you can switch on a bandwidth limiter for each channel of the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF.
WiFi connected
Using a computer based oscilloscope was never easier than with the WiFiScope WS6 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 WS6 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 WS6 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 WS6 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 WS6 DIFF can achieve higher streaming performance than via WiFi.
USB 3.0 connected
When wireless measuring or LAN connected measuring is not required or not possible, the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF can also be connected via its USB 3.0 port. This gives the benefit of even higher streaming performance. Additionally, when connected via USB, the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF can be combined with oscilloscopes via its CMI interface.
