Details

Note: the HDS242S looks externally identical to the product shown in the images.

The HDS242S 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, good for 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 does auto ranging.

Model overview

The models of the HDS200 differ in their bandwidth and whether they have a function generator, as outlined in the table below.
