Measuring system consists of five instruments in one: a multimeter, an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyser, a transient recorder and an arbitrary waveform generator
The Handyscope HS3, available from Audon Electronics, is a powerful USB computer-controlled measuring system that consists of five instruments in one: a multimeter, an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyser, a transient recorder and an arbitrary waveform generator.
Connected to the fast USB 2.0, the Handyscope HS3 doesn't require an external power supply, and is equally at home in the laboratory or in the field.
The Handyscope HS3 features a user selectable 12-bit, 14-bit or 16-bit resolution (not 8-bit like some better known compatibles), 200mV-80V full scale input range, 128Ksamples record length per channel and a sampling frequency up to 100MHz on both channels.
The integrated arbitrary waveform generator operates fully independent from the measuring system of the Handyscope HS3.
It has a 50MHz sampling clock, a 1024/128K samples deep waveform memory, a 14-bit output resolution and a +/-12V output range.
The arbitrary waveform generator allows the user to generate test signals for measurements in any shape desired.
Several standard signal shapes are available and it is possible to regenerate previous measured signals.
The universal software that is delivered with the Handyscope HS3 turns your PC into a storage oscilloscope, a spectrum analyser, a voltmeter and a transient recorder.
An intelligent auto setup allows the inexperienced user to perform measurements immediately.
The software allows the user to save instrument settings on disk.
Later these setting files can be recalled, reducing the setup time of an instrument to an absolute minimum.
A major advantage of the HandyScope measuring instrument is the ability to work with third party software tools through the use of a Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file.
Examples written in Labview, MatLab, VB, Delphi and C++ are supplied on the Handyscope HS3 disk.
