Resolution is adjustable 8 to 16bit and bandwidth can be limited 150, 100 or 50MHz.
As is usual with PC scopes, sampling rate, number of active channels, bit width and memory depth are all traded in any particular unit so, for example, 1Gsample/s is only available if only one channel is enabled at only 8bit resolution (see table below).
Called Handyscope HS6-1000, there are also 500Msample/s (HS6-500) and 200Msample/s (HS6-200) versions.
To connect more that one of its instruments together, it is equipped with TiePie’s CMI (combining multiple instruments) interface through an HDMI type C connector. “The CMI interface offers the possibility of an 8, 16, 32 or even 128 channel oscilloscope or data recorder with the same sample frequency – with 0ppm deviation – where all channels are measured fully synchronized with sampling rates up to 1Gsample/s and resolutions up to 16bit”, it said.
Option ‘S’ adds a number of things including a circuit which checks in real time whether a test probe is in physical and electrical contact with the test subject – branded SureConnect.
Resistance measurement (ranges: 100, 200 and 500Ω) also arrives with Option S.
The 240µVrms noise level is available on the 200mV range with 12bit 50M/s sampling. 90µVrms is available with 16bit, 6.25M/s sampling.
1Mpoint of 8bit memory is shared between the four channels – reducing to 512kpoint at higher resolutions. The ‘XM’ option extends this to 256Mpoint shared for 8bit and 128kpoint shared for higher resolutions.
Processing includes spectrum analysis with 32 million bins.

Like sample rates, data logger streaming rates also adjust with scope type, channel count and bit width.
