Owon HDS2202S handheld oscilloscope
Details
Note: the HDS2202S looks externally identical to the product shown in the images.
The HDS2202S is a portable dual-channel oscilloscope that can also be used as a multimeter and a function generator. The meter sports a 3.5" high-contrast colour display suitable for outdoor use and it runs on a pair of 18650 batteries, good for up to 6 hours of continuous use. You can hook up the meter to a PC host with USB-C to use it with Owon's desktop software, control it via SCPI or to use it with a power bank. Compared to the Hantek 2000 series oscilloscopes, the Owon HDS200 series are equipped with a slightly larger screen and larger internal memory. Furthermore, this series has 20000 counts as opposed to Hantek's 4000 counts resolution.
Signals can be recorded and stored internally. Its memory holds up to 8k data points. Waveforms can also be stored as image or CSV, to be exported via USB to a PC host.
Besides being an oscilloscope, it independently acts as a fully featured 20 000 count True-RMS multimeter. It has the capability to measure voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, continuity and diodes. The readings will be displayed comfortably large on the display as can be seen in the demonstration video below. Similar to conventional multimeters, it has auto ranging.

As an oscilloscope, there are many positive aspects, such as the 200 MHz bandwidth and the ability to display measured values on the screen.
However, I would like to see a few improvements, such as better cooling since it heats up quickly. Additionally, this meter takes longer to boot compared to older models. Another negative is that the box only includes one probe, which is very disappointing.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and hope the product will serve me well.
