The SHS-X Handheld Oscilloscopes combines the functions of benchtop oscilloscope, multimeter, and recorder, including trend plot and waveform recorder, along with complex serial decoding/triggering, in isolated and non-isolated versions.
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the new and improved Siglent SHS-X Handheld Two-channel Digital Oscilloscopes, which are available in 100MHz and 200MHz analog bandwidths and isolated or non-isolated versions, with 1GSa/s sample rate and 12Mpts memory depth. The SHS800X versions have two non-isolated scope channels and one isolated multimeter channel, while the SHS1000X models feature full isolation: between the two oscilloscope channels, the multimeter channel, the power adapter, and the USB host/device port. The maximum analog voltage input for the isolated SHS1000X channels is CATIII 600 Vrms, CATII 1000 Vrms. For all SHS-X models, the maximum input for the multimeter channel is CATIII 600 Vrms, CATII 1000 Vrms.
Based on the success of Siglent’s previous SHS portable scopes, the new -X series adds increased memory depth, a faster waveform capture rate of 100,000 wfm/s, timebase down to 1ns/div, enhanced triggering choices (Edge, Slope, Pulse Width, Window, Runt, Interval, Dropout, Pattern, Video), serial trigger decoding (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN), improved FFT precision, and waveform recording of up to 50MB internal or 2GB external. The user-friendly front panel design allows quick access to most of the commonly used scope functions. The SHS810X is the 100MHz version and the SHS820X is the 200MHz version of non-isolated scopes, while the SHS1102X is the 100MHz version and the SHS1202X is the 200MHz version of the fully-isolated version.
One of the great advantages of a portable oscilloscope is its ability to make safe, floating, non-ground-referenced measurements. Inputs can safely be connected to a circuit under investigation without regard to polarity, as long as the voltage and current limitations are observed. Full isolation also reduces the risk of accidental short-circuit equipment damage.
Designed and manufactured by leading test instrument company Siglent Technologies, the SHS-X Series of portable oscilloscopes offer benchtop specs, are compact (10.25” x 6.43” x 2.1”) and lightweight (3.3lb), and are available now from their technical distributor Saelig Company, Inc.
