HS4

 

The Handyscope HS4 is a powerful 4-channel computer controlled measuring instrument that consists of four measuring instruments: a Multimeter, an Oscilloscope, a Spectrum analyzer and a Transient recorder. This new powerful and compact measuring instrument can solve almost every measurement problem. Ideal for high channel count, high speed data acquisistion tasks.

The Handyscope HS4 features a user selectable 12 bit, 14 bit or 16 bit resolution (14 bit effective, SNR 95 dB), 200 mV - 80 V full scale input range, 128 Ksamples record length per channel and a sampling frequency up to 50 MHz on all four channels.

Connected to the fast USB 2.0 interface, the Handyscope HS4 doesn't require an external power supply, fully supporting the "Plug in and measure" ideal.

The universal software that is delivered with the Handyscope HS4 turns your PC into a storage oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a voltmeter and a transient recorder. An intelligent auto setup allows the inexperienced user to perform measurements immediately. The software allows you to save instrument settings on disk. Later these setting files can be recalled, reducing the setup time of your instrument to an absolute minimum

Third Party Software

 

A major advantage of the HandyScope measuring instruments is the ability to work with third party software tools. Instead of the normal software package delivered with the measuring equipment, you can now use your favourite measuring environment to acquire the data you want. This allows for a very flexible measuring setup, which is virtually unlimited in possibilities. Total integration can be achieved in, for example, Mathworks' Matlab and LabVIEW. Processing your measured data has never been easier!

In addition, it's even possible to write your own software for the HandiScope equipment. Total control over your measurements is within reach!

The third party support is made possible through the use of a Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Whether you're using LabVIEW, Matlab or Visual Studio to develop your own measuring tools, the DLL that belongs to a specific measuring instrument is the interface between your application and the measuring instrument. Some of the third party tools are able to import functions from the DLL direct, like LabVIEW. However, most tools need a header file or an equivalent file to know which functions to import from the DLL. These files are all included with the DLL and can be found in the download section.
