Can I upgrade a Handyscope HS4 to a Handyscope HS4 DIFF?

Q

The Handyscope HS4 DIFF comes with special differential attenuators. Can I upgrade my normal Handyscope HS4 to a Handyscope HS4 DIFF by applying those attenuators?

A

No, this is not possible.

The Handyscope HS4 has 4 single ended inputs, which are referenced to ground.

The Handyscope HS4 DIFF has 4 differential inputs, which are not referenced to ground. The attenuators that are supplied with the Handyscope HS4 DIFF are special differential attenuators, designed to be used with a differential input. They will not convert a single ended input to a differential input.

In the classroom section on this site you can find more information on the differential attenuators.
