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.
