The TiePie Handyscope HS4 DIFF is a high-performance, 4-channel differential USB oscilloscope designed for safe and accurate signal measurement in demanding environments. With a bandwidth of up to 50 MHz, a maximum sampling rate of 50 MSa/s, and 128 Kpts memory per channel, it delivers precise, high-resolution data acquisition at 12-bit native resolution (enhanced to 14- or 16-bit). Its differential inputs prevent ground loops and short circuits, making it ideal for measuring unrelated signals simultaneously. Included accessories such as low-noise differential measuring leads and 1:10 differential attenuators further enhance its versatility and safety for high-voltage applications. Supplied with powerful Multi Channel software, the HS4 DIFF functions as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, data logger, multimeter, and protocol analyzer—all from a compact, USB-powered unit, making it a robust tool for both field and lab use.
