Before using the Handyscope HS5 first read chapter 1 about
safety.
Many technicians investigate electrical signals. Though the
measurement may not be electrical, the physical variable is of-
ten converted to an electrical signal, with a special transducer.
Common transducers are accelerometers, pressure probes, current
clamps and temperature probes. The advantages of converting the
physical parameters to electrical signals are large, since many in-
struments for examining electrical signals are available.
The Handyscope HS5 is a portable two channel measuring in-
strument with Arbitrary Waveform Generator. The Handyscope
HS5 is available in several models with different maximum sam-
pling frequencies: 50 MS/s, 100 MS/s, 200 MS/s or 500 MS/s.
The native resolutions are 8, 12 and 14 bits and a user selectable
resolution of 16 bits is available too, with adjusted maximum sam-
pling frequencies:
