Revolutionary Real-time Probe Connection Verification While Measuring
Share:
TiePie engineering is the first oscilloscope manufacturer to implement SureConnect technology. While measuring, the revolutionary SureConnect technology checks in real time whether a test probe is in physical and electrical contact with the test subject. SureConnect is the right option for every engineer for performing quick and perfect measurements. SureConnect is available on TiePie automotive USB oscilloscopes and as an option on the Handyscope HS5.
Assuring a good connection of a probe with a test subject may not always be easy. The subject under measurement may be dirty, oxidized or an (invisible) protective layer may be present. Also, the test subject may be hidden, making visible contact confirmation impossible. With SureConnect, you no longer have to question whether there really is no signal or that your probe does not make good contact.
As can be seen in a video on our website, capacitive coupling between test probe and test subject can result in measuring a distorted version of the actual signal, wrongly suggesting a connection. SureConnect however immediately shows you whether a good connection is present.
Additionally to the connection test, a Handyscope HS5 with the SureConnect option offers resistance measurements on all channels. No more need to grab your separate ohm meter to check that resistor, your Handyscope HS5 will do the job. You can even create an Ohm scope to check a variable resistance and have a graph showing you the change in resistance against time. A defective potmeter is easily checked, a damaged track is immediately visible.
