Introduction

Before using the Handyscope HS6 DIFF first read chapter
Many technicians investigate electrical signals. Though the measurement may not
be electrical, the physical variable is often 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 phys-
ical parameters to electrical signals are large, since many instruments for examin-
ing electrical signals are available.
The Handyscope HS6 DIFF is a portable four channel measuring instrument with
differential inputs. It is available in several models with different maximum sam-
pling rates. The native resolutions are 8, 12 and 14 bits and a user selectable res-
olution of 16 bits is available too, with adjusted maximum sampling rates:
