HANDYSCOPE HS3 instrument description HANDYSCOPE MODEL HS3 A Portable 100 MS/s Instrument Connected to USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 MOST Portable TiePie engineering introduces the Handyscope HS3, a portable and compact MOST (Multimeter, Oscilloscope, Spectrum analyzer and Transient recorder). As two channel measuring device with a 100 MS/s sample rate, an 8-16 resolution and 128 Kbyte memory per channel, the Handyscope HS3 is the first MOST in the world which can be connected to a PC (USB2.0 and USB 1.1 compatible), without external power supply. The standard AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator) has a 14 bit resolution, 256 Kbyte memory and an output voltage of 0 to ±12 Volt (24 Vpp). Because of the very extensive and accessible Windows based software, the user is offered many measuring possibilities Portable Instruments With good reason you can say the Handyscope HS3 is really "Plug in and Measure": "Plug in" = connect one cable "Measure" = read a SET file and measuring can start The range of applications for the Handyscope HS3 are fast signals; like serial communication, frequency regulators, TV signals as well as many low-frequency measuring applications like in industrial production machines, office automatization equipment (photocopier, telephone exchange), sensor measurements, mains voltage measurements, startup current at motors, mains pollution measurements, checking slow running processes (e.g. room temperature, pressure and humidity), sound analyses, vibration measurements (like machines, buildings), trend measurements and single failure detection measurements. Software Besides the very good hardware qualities (100 MS/s sample speed, 0.2 up to 80 Volt input range, 8-16 bit resolution, 128 Kword memory per channel and fine trigger options), the Handyscope HS3 also has a powerful software pack. Because of all these qualities, there is no better measuring instrument, in the same pricing range and with the same possibilities, for sale in the world. The software is object oriented and has a built in option that prevents "jamming". Other strong points are that most adjustments graphically can be done by the mouse. You can "grab" the tips of the x-axis and y-axis scrollbars and "live" increase and decrease them. The diagrams are directly enlarged or reduced. Becasue of the availability of the four different measuring instruments: oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, voltmeter and transient recorder, almost every measuring problem can be solved. General The interesting point of the Handyscope HS3 is that once it is connected to a standard PC, there are offered a lot of measuring options which are normally only obtained by using several instruments.

Handyscope HS3 general description Instrument settings Input range The practical side of the software is that the "software instruments", for instance the oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer, are linked to each other. When in the oscilloscope the input sensitivity is changed, this is also immediately visible in the spectrum analyzer (and voltmeter). Striking are the extensive possibilities of the cross wires. A remarkable point is the auto correction option of the cross wires. Through this the cross wires are put in such a way that over a complete number of periods, for example the true RMS...

Handyscope HS3 general description Function generator Data export The signal shape always has a 14 bit resolution. Besides that the AWG offset is variable from 0 up to ± 12 Volt. This adjustment also has a resolution of 8192 steps. Because the 14 bit resolution of the AWG it is possible to generate distortion free signals. It is also possible to generate a previous measured signal via de AWG. The AWG runs completely independent from the two measuring inputs. The Handyscope HS3 DLL is delivered with several example programs (source code in Delphi, C++, Visual Basic), to easily write your own...

Handyscope HS3 general description for fast and good performance of the measurement. The SET file contains all instrument settings, so there can not be made a setting error. By making your own SET files, the inexperienced user still can directly carry out a complicated measurement without first adjusting the instrument. Furthermore, convenient copies for reportage can be made and measure values can be processed in external programs like spreadsheet programs. Software and hardware updates The Handyscope HS3 uses hardware which can be configured over and over again. The hardware configuration...
