Optionally available for the Handyscope HS6 DIFF is SureConnect con-
nection test. SureConnect connection test tells you immediately whether
your test probe or clip actually makes electrical contact or not. No more doubt
whether your probe doesn’t make contact or there really is no signal. This is useful
when surfaces are oxidized and your probe cannot get a good electrical contact.
Simply activate the SureConnect and you know whether there is contact or not.
Also when back probing connectors in confined places, SureConnect immediately
shows whether the probes make contact or not.
Models of the Handyscope HS6 DIFF with SureConnect come with re-
sistance measurement on all channels. Resistances up to 2 MOhm can
be measured directly. Resistance can be shown in meter displays and can also be
plotted versus time in a graph, creating an Ohm scope.
With the SafeGround protected ground option, the differential input of the
Handyscope HS6 DIFF is switched into a ground current protected single
ended input. This allows to perform single ended measurements with e.g. an at-
tenuating oscilloscope probe, without the risk of creating a short ciruit to ground.
With the accompanying software the Handyscope HS6 DIFF can be used as an
oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a true RMS voltmeter or a transient recorder. All
instruments measure by sampling the input signals, digitizing the values, process
them, save them and display them.
3.1 Differential input
Most oscilloscopes are equipped with standard, single ended inputs, which are
referenced to ground. This means that one side of the input is always connected
to ground and the other side to the point of interest in the circuit under test.
