Introduction

Before using the Handyscope HS3 first read chapter 1 about safety.
Many technicians investigate electrical signals. Though the measurement may not be electrical, the physical variable is often converted to an electrical signal, with a special transducer. Common transducers are accelerometers, pressure probes, current clamps and temperature probes. The advantages of converting the physical parameters to electrical signals are large, since many instruments for examining electrical signals are available.
The Handyscope HS3 is a portable two channel measuring instrument with Arbitrary Waveform Generator. The Handyscope HS3 is available in several models with different maximum sampling rates: 10 MSa/s, 25 MSa/s, 50 MSa/s or 100 MSa/s. The native resolution is 12 bits, but user selectable resolutions of 8, 14 and 16 bits are available too, with adjusted maximum sampling rate:
Resolution HS3-100
HS3-50
HS3-25
HS3-10
8 bit 100 MSa/s 50 MSa/s 25 MSa/s 10 MSa/s
12 bit 50 MSa/s 50 MSa/s 25 MSa/s 10 MSa/s
14 bit 3.125 MSa/s 3.125 MSa/s 3.125 MSa/s 3.125 MSa/s
16 bit 195 kSa/s 195 kSa/s 195 kSa/s 195 kSa/s
Table 3.1: Maximum sampling rates
With the accompanying software the Handyscope HS3 can be used as an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a true RMS voltmeter or a transient recorder. All instruments measure by sampling the input signals, digitizing the values, process them, save them and display them.
3.1 Sampling
When sampling the input signal, samples are taken at fixed intervals. At these intervals, the size of the input signal is converted to a number. The accuracy of this number depends on the resolution of the instrument. The higher the resolution, the smaller the voltage steps in which the input range of the instrument is divided. The acquired numbers can be used for various purposes, e.g. to create a graph.
Introduction

Figure 3.1: Sampling
The sine wave in figure 3.1 is sampled at the dot positions. By connecting the adjacent samples, the original signal can be reconstructed from the samples. You can see the result in figure 3.2.
Figure 3.2: “connecting” the samples
3.2 Sampling rate
The rate at which the samples are taken is called the sampling rate, the number of samples per second. A higher sampling rate corresponds to a shorter interval between the samples. As is visible in figure 3.3, with a higher sampling rate, the original signal can be reconstructed much better from the measured samples.
6
Chapter 3
Figure 3.3: The effect of the sampling rate
3.2.1
The sampling rate must be higher than 2 times the highest frequency in the input signal. This is called the Nyquist frequency. Theoretically it is possible to reconstruct the input signal with more than 2 samples per period. In practice, 10 to 20 samples per period are recommended to be able to examine the signal thoroughly.
Aliasing
When sampling an analog signal with a certain sampling rate, signals appear in the output with frequencies equal to the sum and difference of the signal frequency and multiples of the sampling rate. For example, when the sampling rate is 1000 Sa/s and the signal frequency is 1250 Hz, the following signal frequencies will be present in the output data:
Multiple of sampling rate …
-1000 0
1000 2000
…
1250 Hz signal
-1000 + 1250 = 250 0 + 1250 = 1250
1000 + 1250 = 2250 2000 + 1250 = 3250
-1250 Hz signal
-1000 – 1250 = -2250 0 – 1250 = -1250
1000 – 1250 = -250 2000 – 1250 = 750
Table 3.2: Aliasing
As stated before, when sampling a signal, only frequencies lower than half the sampling rate can be reconstructed. In this case the sampling rate is 1000 Sa/s, so we can we only observe signals with a frequency ranging from 0 to 500 Hz. This means that from the resulting frequencies in the table, we can only see the 250 Hz signal in the sampled data. This signal is called an alias of the original signal.
If the sampling rate is lower than twice the frequency of the input signal, aliasing will occur. The following illustration shows what happens.
Introduction
7
Figure 3.4: Aliasing
In figure 3.4, the green input signal (top) is a triangular signal with a frequency of 1.25 kHz. The signal is sampled with a rate of 1 kSa/s. The corresponding sampling interval is 1/1000Hz = 1ms. The positions at which the signal is sampled are depicted with the blue dots. The red dotted signal (bottom) is the result of the reconstruction. The period time of this triangular signal appears to be 4 ms, which corresponds to an apparent frequency (alias) of 250 Hz (1.25 kHz – 1 kHz).
To avoid aliasing, always start measuring at the highest sampling rate and lower the sampling rate if required.
3.3 Digitizing
When digitizing the samples, the voltage at each sample time is converted to a number. This is done by comparing the voltage with a number of levels. The resulting number is the number corresponding to the level that is closest to the voltage. The number of levels is determined by the resolution, according to the following relation: LevelCount = 2Resolution. The higher the resolution, the more levels are available and the more accurate the input signal can be reconstructed. In figure 3.5, the same signal is digitized, using two different amounts of levels: 16 (4-bit) and 64 (6-bit).
8
Chapter 3
Figure 3.5: The effect of the resolution
The Handyscope HS3 measures at e.g. 12 bit resolution (212=4096 levels). The smallest detectable voltage step depends on the input range. This voltage can be calculated as:
V oltageStep = F ullInputRange/LevelCount
For example, the 200 mV range ranges from -200 mV to +200 mV, therefore the full range is 400 mV. This results in a smallest detectable voltage step of 0.400 V / 4096 = 97.65 µV.
3.4 Signal coupling
The Handyscope HS3 has two different settings for the signal coupling: AC and DC. In the setting DC, the signal is directly coupled to the input circuit. All signal components available in the input signal will arrive at the input circuit and will be measured. In the setting AC, a capacitor will be placed between the input connector and the input circuit. This capacitor will block all DC components of the input signal and let all AC components pass through. This can be used to remove a large DC component of the input signal, to be able to measure a small AC component at high resolution.
When measuring DC signals, make sure to set the signal coupling of the input to DC.
3.5 Probe compensation
The Handyscope HS3 is shipped with a probe for each input channel. These are 1x/10x selectable passive probes. This means that the input signal is passed through directly or 10 times attenuated.
Introduction
9
When using an oscilloscope probe in 1:1 the setting, the bandwidth of the probe is only 6 MHz. The full bandwidth of the probe is only obtained in the 1:10 setting
The x10 attenuation is achieved by means of an attenuation network. This attenuation network has to be adjusted to the oscilloscope input circuitry, to guarantee frequency independency. This is called the low frequency compensation. Each time a probe is used on an other channel or an other oscilloscope, the probe must be adjusted. Therefore the probe is equiped with a setscrew, with which the parallel capacity of the attenuation network can be altered. To adjust the probe, switch the probe to the x10 and attach the probe to a 1 kHz square wave signal. Then adjust the probe for a square front corner on the square wave displayed. See also the following illustrations.

Driver installation

Before connecting the Handyscope HS3 to the computer, the drivers need to be installed.
4.1
4.1.1 4.1.2
Introduction
To operate a Handyscope HS3, a driver is required to interface between the measurement software and the instrument. This driver takes care of the low level communication between the computer and the instrument, through USB. When the driver is not installed, or an old, no longer compatible version of the driver is installed, the software will not be able to operate the Handyscope HS3 properly or even detect it at all.
The installation of the USB driver is done in a few steps. Firstly, the driver has to be pre-installed by the driver setup program. This makes sure that all required files are located where Windows can find them. When the instrument is plugged in, Windows will detect new hardware and install the required drivers.
Where to find the driver setup
The driver setup program and measurement software can be found in the download section on TiePie engineering’s website. It is recommended to install the latest version of the software and USB driver from the website. This will guarantee the latest features are included.
Executing the installation utility
To start the driver installation, execute the downloaded driver setup program. The driver install utility can be used for a first time installation of a driver on a system and also to update an existing driver.
The screen shots in this description may differ from the ones displayed on your computer, depending on the Windows version.
Driver installation 11
Figure 4.1: Driver install: step 1 When drivers were already installed, the install utility will remove them before installing the new driver. To remove the old driver successfully, it is essential that the Handyscope HS3 is disconnected from the computer prior to starting the driver install utility. When the Handyscope HS3 is used with an external power supply, this must be disconnected too. Clicking “Install” will remove existing drivers and install the new driver. A remove entry for the new driver is added to the software applet in the Windows control panel.

5.2 5.3
Power the instrument
The Handyscope HS3 is powered by the USB, no external power supply is required. Only connect the Handyscope HS3 to a bus powered USB port, otherwise it may not get enough power to operate properly.
External power
In certain cases, the Handyscope HS3 cannot get enough power from the USB port. When a Handyscope HS3 is connected to a USB port, powering the hardware will result in an inrush current higher than the nominal current. After the inrush current, the current will stabilize at the nominal current.
USB ports have a maximum limit for both the inrush current peak and the nominal current. When either of them is exceeded, the USB port will be switched off. As a result, the connection to the Handyscope HS3 will be lost.
Most USB ports can supply enough current for the Handyscope HS3 to work without an external power supply, but this is not always the case. Some (battery operated) portable computers or (bus powered) USB hubs do not supply enough current. The exact value at which the power is switched off, varies per USB controller, so it is possible that the Handyscope HS3 functions properly on one computer, but does not on another.
In order to power the Handyscope HS3 externally, an external power input is provided for. It is located at the rear of the Handyscope HS3. Refer to paragraph 7.1 for specifications of the external power intput.
Connect the instrument to the computer
After the new driver has been pre-installed (see chapter 4), the Handyscope HS3 can be connected to the computer. When the Handyscope HS3 is connected to a USB port of the computer, Windows will detect new hardware.
Depending on the Windows version, a notification can be shown that new hardware is found and that drivers will be installed. Once ready, Windows will report that the driver is installed.
When the driver is installed, the measurement software can be installed and the Handyscope HS3 can be used.
Plug into a different USB port
When the Handyscope HS3 is plugged into a different USB port, some Windows versions will treat the Handyscope HS3 as different hardware and will install the drivers again for that port. This is controlled by Microsoft Windows and is not caused by TiePie engineering.

6.1 CH1 and CH2 input connectors
The CH1 and CH2 BNC connectors are the main inputs of the acquisition system. The outside of the BNC connectors is connected to the ground of the Handyscope HS3. Connecting the outside of the BNC connector to a potential other than ground will result in a short circuit that may damage the device under test, the Handyscope HS3 and the computer.
6.2 GENERATOR output connector
The OUT BNC connector is the output of the internal Arbitrary Waveform Generator. The outside of this BNC connector is connected to the ground of the Handyscope HS3.
When the generator is switched off in the software, the generator output is switched to a high impedance, floating state, the output voltage is then undefined.
When the generator is switched on in the software and set to pause, the generator output is switched to a low impedance (50 ), the output voltage is at the selected offset level.
6.3 Power indicator
A power indicator is situated at the top cover of the instrument. It is lit when the Handyscope HS3 is powered.

7.1 Power
The Handyscope HS3 is powered through the USB. If the USB cannot deliver enough power, it is possible to power the instrument externally. The Handyscope HS3 has two external power inputs located at the rear of the instrument: the dedicated power input and a pin of the extension connector.
Handyscope HS3s with SN# 11832 and lower do not have a dedicated power input at the rear, they only have an external power input on the extension connector.
The specifications of the dedicated power connector are:

USB power cable
The Handyscope HS3 is delivered with a special USB external power cable.
Figure 7.3: USB power cable
One end of this cable can be connected to a second USB port on the computer, the other end can be plugged in the external power input at the rear of the instrument. The power for the instrument will be taken from two USB ports of the computer.
The outside of the external power connector is connected to +5 V. In order to avoid shortage, first connect the cable to the Handyscope HS3 and then to the USB port.
7.1.2 7.2
Power adapter
In case a second USB port is not available, or the computer still can’t provide enough power for the instrument, an external power adapter can be used. When using an external power adapter, make sure that:
· the polarity is set correctly · the voltage is set to a valid value for the instrument and higher than the USB
voltage · the adapter can supply enough current (preferably >1 A) · the plug has the correct dimensions for the external power input of the in-
strument
USB
The Handyscope HS3 is equipped with a USB 2.0 High speed (480 Mbit/s) interface with a fixed cable with type A plug. It will also work on a computer with a USB 1.1 interface, but will then operate at 12 Mbit/s.

The accuracy of a channel is defined as a percentage of the Full Scale range. The Full Scale range runs from -range to range and is effectively 2 * range. When the input range is set to 4 V, the Full Scale range is -4 V to 4 V = 8 V. Additionally a number of Least Significant Bits is incorporated. The acuracy is determined in the highest resolution.
When the accuracy is specified as ±0.2% of the Full Scale range ± 1 LSB, and the input range is 4 V, the maximum deviation the measured value can have is ±0.2% of 8 V = ±16 mV. ±1 LSB equals 8 V / 65536 (= number of LSB at 16 bit) = ± 122 µV. Therefore the measured value will be between 16.122 mV lower and 16.122 mV higher than the actual value. When e.g. applying a 3.75 V signal and measuring it in the 4 V range, the measured value will be between 3.76612 V and 3.73388 V.
