Key specifications

Acquisition system
  • 8, 12, 14, 16 bit resolution, 0.25 % DC vertical accuracy, 0.1 % typical
  • Up to 500 MSa/s sampling, up to 250 MHz bandwidth
  • Up to 32 MSamples memory per channel
  • 20 MSa/s, 14 bit continuous streaming
  • 1 ppm time base accuracy
Arbitrary Waveform Generator
  • 1 µHz up to 40 MHz sine, square, triangular, pulse and arbitrary waveforms
  • -12 to 12 V output (24 Vpp)
  • Up to 64 MSamples, 240 MSa/s, 14 bit arbitrary waveforms
  • Spurious (non harmonic) < -85 dB
  • 8 ns rise and fall time

This powerful high speed WiFi oscilloscope combines fast sampling up to 500 MSa/s with high resolutions of 12, 14 and 16 bit, a large memory of 64 MSamples and an extremely accurate built-in 40 MHz 14 bit Constant Data Size (CDS) arbitrary waveform generator with 24 V peak to peak output, generating true form signals. The oscilloscope supports continuous streaming measurements up to 20 MSa/s and can be synchronized with other oscilloscopes using the CMI interface to form a multi channel combined instrument with synchronized time base. The CMI interface is available by default on the WiFiScope WS5. Optionally, the WiFiScope WS5 can be delivered with SureConnect connection test and resistance measurement on each channel.

The flexibility and quality that the WiFiScope WS5 offers is unparalleled by any other oscilloscope and function generator in its class.

Rugged industrial design

The WiFiScope WS5 features a rugged design. Its enclosure is fitted with rubber protectors at the front and the rear. These protect the WiFiScope WS5 against damage by mechanical shocks. The rubber helps absorbing shocks and protects the connectors at the front and the rear of the WiFiScope WS5, these fall within the protected zone.

Additionally, the rubber prevents your WiFiScope WS5 from sliding. The rubber protectors have special notches that simplify stacking instruments. Holes are included that allow to connect a strap to hang the instrument near the test subject.

SureConnect

The SureConnect connection test feature of the WiFiScope WS5 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.

Multi instrument synchronisation

The WiFiScope WS5 is equipped with a sophisticated CMI synchronization bus, allowing to connect multiple WiFiScope WS5s to each other by means of TP-C50H Coupling cable CMIs, to use them as a combined instrument. All instruments will measure at the same sample frequency (0 ppm deviation!). Apart from a synchronization bus, the CMI also contains a trigger bus and a detection bus. The maximum number of instruments is only limited by the number available USB ports.

High accuracy

The WiFiScope WS5 measures with high resolutions of 14 and 16 bit. A signal measured with the WiFiScope WS5 therefore has 256 times more resolution than most standalone oscilloscopes, which usually have a low resolution of 8 or 9 bit. The high resolution of the WiFiScope WS5 precision oscilloscope allows for measuring signals with more accuracy, because the quantization error is much lower.

Large memory

When measuring at high sample rates, a long record length/large memory is necessary to be able to record a complete signal in the acquisition buffer. Where most oscilloscopes have 2.5 kSamples or 100 kSamples memory, the WiFiScope WS5 has 32 MSamples memory per channel. This gives the user 300 to 10000 times more memory. An advantage of a large memory is that once-only fast phenomena can be captured completely. For example complete serial communications, like CAN bus signals, can be measured all in one record to be reviewed and analyzed afterwards.

Low distortion Arbitrary Waveform Generator

The WiFiScope WS5 is the first High Resolution WiFi oscilloscope with built-in 30 MHz low distortion function generator. The built-in Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses CDS signal synthesis technology, developed by TiePie engineering, resulting in the best signal fidelity in its class, generating the true form of your signals. With spurious distortion as low as -85 dB at 100 kHz signal frequency, a very flat amplitude spectrum and a rise time of 8 ns, the low distortion function generator creates signals that approach perfection.

Oscilloscope and Generator synchronization

The High Resolution WiFi oscilloscope and the arbitrary waveform generator in the WiFiScope WS5 can be easily synchronized by setting the trigger source of the oscilloscope to one or more generator trigger events: start, stop and new period.
