TiePie engineering specializes in developing and manufacturing computer-controlled test and measurement equipment, including USB oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and automotive diagnostics tools.
TiePie engineering is a Dutch manufacturer of professional computer-controlled test and measurement instrumentation. Since its founding in 1987, the company has focused on creating compact, high-performance instruments that interface directly with computers via USB, LAN, or WiFi. Their comprehensive product portfolio includes USB oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators, spectrum analyzers, data loggers, and multimeters.
Renowned for their Handyscope series and specialized Automotive Test Scopes, TiePie engineering provides robust solutions for industrial automation, electrical engineering, and automotive diagnostics. Key features of their instruments often include differential inputs to ensure safe measurements on floating circuitry and high-resolution sampling for precise signal analysis. Based in Sneek, The Netherlands, TiePie engineering serves a global customer base ranging from educational institutions to advanced industrial research labs.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Measuring directly on line voltage can be dangerous. Standard inputs are referenced to ground, meaning the BNC shield is connected to the computer ground. To measure line voltage safely, use a differential probe, an isolation transformer, or a TiePie instrument with built-in differential inputs.
Differential inputs are not referenced to ground, meaning both sides of the input are floating. This allows you to measure the voltage difference between two points in a circuit without creating a short circuit to ground and provides a higher Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR).
First, ensure that the correct drivers are installed on your system. If the device is still not recognized, try connecting it to a different USB port. If the issue persists, consult the troubleshooting section of your user manual or contact TiePie support.
The latest software and drivers for TiePie engineering instruments, such as the Handyscope and Handyprobe, are typically available for download on the official TiePie engineering website.
