Owon HDS160 Scope Meter 60,000 Count Resolution

Bridge the gap between a digital multimeter and an oscilloscope with the OWON HDS160 Scope Meter. Designed for professionals who need to see the "whole picture" without the complexity of carrying a full-sized scope, this handheld instrument redefines portable troubleshooting.

Unlike traditional oscilloscopes that require dedicated, fragile BNC probes, the HDS160 utilizes a multimeter front-end. This means you can visualize waveforms directly through standard, durable multimeter test leads. It offers the safety and simplicity of a multimeter with the diagnostic power of a 1MHz oscilloscope, making it the ideal solution for field engineers, maintenance technicians, and educators.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2-in-1 Troubleshooting Powerhouse:

  • High-Precision Multimeter: Features a 60,000-count True RMS digital multimeter for accurately measuring Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Continuity, and Diode drops.

  • Graphical Waveform Display: With a single button press, switch to "Scope Mode" to visualize signal stability, noise, and trends. Features a 1MHz bandwidth and 5MSa/s real-time sampling rate.

• Visualize Minute Currents:

  • Leveraging its shunt-style current inputs, the HDS160 excels where clamp meters and standard scopes fail. It allows you to visualize minute current waveforms (sensitivity range: 100µA/grid to 5A/grid).

  • Application: Perfect for detecting battery leakage, monitoring sensor 4-20mA loops, or analyzing startup current transients in sensitive electronics.

• Safety & Simplicity First:

  • No Specialized Probes Needed: Operates entirely with standard safety banana-plug leads.

  • Robust Protection: Built for industrial environments with CAT III 1000V / CAT II 600V safety ratings and dual ceramic fuses for explosion-proof measurement safety.

  • Smart Charging: Powered by a standard 18650 Li-ion battery (approx. 2600mAh) with USB Type-C charging. Includes an intelligent safety interlock that prevents USB charging while test leads are inserted.

• User-Centric Design:

  • Crystal Clear Display: A 2.8-inch IPS color LCD provides wide viewing angles and high contrast for reading data in any lighting condition.

  • Data Logging: Save and recall waveform images and data internally or transfer them to a PC via USB for reports and analysis.

  • Extended Field Life: Low power consumption design ensures the device is ready when you are.
