Handyscope HS4-DIFF-5

Key Features

4 differential input channels for safe and accurate measurements
Max. sampling speed of 5 MSa/s for high-resolution signal capture
Max. streaming speed of 50 KSa/s for long-term data logging
USB-powered for easy portability and setup
Fully isolated channels to prevent ground loops and noise interference
Ideal for use in high-voltage and industrial environments

The Handyscope HS4-DIFF-5 is a high-precision, USB-powered, differential oscilloscope designed for demanding signal analysis applications in both industrial and laboratory environments. With a maximum sampling speed of 5 MSa/s (mega samples per second), it delivers accurate, real-time capture of high-frequency signals across its four fully isolated input channels. These channels are differential, allowing for safe and noise-free measurements in environments with high common-mode voltages—ideal for automotive, power electronics, and other electrically noisy systems. The device also features a maximum streaming speed of 50 KSa/s, enabling continuous long-term data acquisition directly to a PC without loss of detail, making it suitable for monitoring slowly changing signals or long-duration tests. Compact and rugged, the HS4-DIFF-5 connects easily via USB, drawing power from the PC, and comes with advanced software for real-time visualization, data logging, and in-depth analysis. The oscilloscope supports a wide range of triggering options and advanced measurement functions, enhancing its utility in diagnostic and development tasks. Its portability, high resolution, and differential input design make it a reliable tool for professionals seeking accuracy and safety in a compact form factor, especially when working in environments with potential ground loop or signal integrity concerns.
