OWON HDS272 / HDS272S 70 MHz 2 Channel Handheld Oscilloscope
OWON HDS272/HDS272S 70 MHz 2-CH handheld oscilloscope + 20,000-count DMM; HDS25S adds a 25 MHz generator. 500 MSa/s, 8K memory, USB-C, 600 V CAT III.
A 70 MHz oscilloscope, a 20,000-count multimeter and a waveform generator in one hand
The OWON HDS272 combines a 70 MHz, 2-channel digital oscilloscope (up to 500 MSa/s, 8K memory, 10,000 wfrms/s) with a full 20,000-count digital multimeter in one rugged, battery-powered handheld — the tool you reach for when the work is in the field, the vehicle bay or the classroom rather than on the bench.
Two versions are available from the dropdown above. The HDS272 is the 2-in-1 scope + meter; the HDS272S adds a built-in 25 MHz arbitrary/function generator so you can inject a signal as well as measure one. Both share the same 3.5″ colour display, 18650 rechargeable battery, USB-C and 600 V CAT III safety rating.
Three instruments in one hand
A 70 MHz 2-channel oscilloscope and a 20,000-count True-RMS multimeter, plus a 25 MHz waveform generator on the HDS272S, share the same display and battery — no need to carry, power and set up separate tools on the job.
One tool, three instruments
70 MHz oscilloscope
A 2-channel digital scope at 70 MHz and up to 500 MSa/s, with 8K memory, 10,000 wfrms/s, auto measurements, cursors and one-key Autoset.
True-RMS multimeter
An independent 20,000-count digital multimeter: DC/AC voltage to 1000 V/750 V, current to 10 A, resistance, capacitance, diode and continuity.
25 MHz generator (HDS272S)
On the HDS272S: a 25 MHz arbitrary/function generator — sine, square, ramp, pulse and 8 special waveforms at 125 MSa/s, 14-bit.
All-day battery · USB-C
A rechargeable 18650 battery runs 3–6 hours; charge and talk to a PC over a single USB-C connection with SCPI control.
Ideal for
- Field-service & maintenance engineers who need one portable tool
- Automotive & industrial technicians — sensor, bus and ignition signals
- Installers and on-site troubleshooting up to 600 V CAT III
- Education, training labs, makers and repair benches
Typical applications
- General electronics, audio & power-supply debugging at 70 MHz
- Automotive sensor, bus & ignition waveform capture
- Multimeter measurements and quick checks in one instrument
- Signal injection & stimulus with the built-in 25 MHz generator
HDS272 or HDS272S
Both are selected from the variant dropdown on this product. They are the same 70 MHz handheld — the HDS272S simply adds the built-in 25 MHz waveform generator.
