Environmental considerations This section provides information about the environmental impact of the Handy- scope HS5. Handyscope HS5 end-of-life handling Production of the Handyscope HS5 required the extraction and use of natural resources. The equipment may contain substances that could be harmful to the environment or human health if improperly handled at the Handyscope HS5’s end of life.
Introduction Before using the Handyscope HS5 first read chapter 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.
Figure 3.1: Sampling The sine wave in figure 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 Sample frequency The rate at which the samples are taken is called the sampling frequency, the number of samples per second.
Figure 3.3: The effect of the sampling frequency The sampling frequency 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.
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 frequency of 1 kHz. The corresponding sampling interval is 1/1000Hz = 1ms. The positions at which the signal is sampled are depicted with the blue dots.
Figure 3.5: The effect of the resolution The Handyscope HS5 measures at e.g. 14 bit resolution (2 =16384 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.

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 attenu- ation network has to be adjusted to the oscilloscope input circuitry, to guarantee frequency independency.
The driver setup program and measurement software can be found in the down- load section on TiePie engineering’s website and on the CD-ROM that came with the instrument. It is recommended to install the latest version of the software and USB driver from the website.

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 HS5 is disconnected from the computer prior to starting the driver install utility.
Hardware installation Drivers have to be installed before the Handyscope HS5 is connected to the computer for the first time. See chapter for more information. Power the instrument The Handyscope HS5 is powered by the USB, no external power supply is required. Only connect the Handyscope HS5 to a bus powered USB port, otherwise it may not get enough power to operate properly.
Handyscope HS5 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. Operating conditions The Handyscope HS5 is ready for use as soon as the software is started. However, to achieve rated accuracy, allow the instrument to settle for 20 minutes.
Combining instruments When more channels are required than one instrument can offer, multiple instru- ments can be combined into a larger combined instrument. To combine two or more instruments, the instruments need to be connected to each other using special cables. The CMI (Combine Multiple Instruments) interface that is available by default on the Handyscope HS5 provides an easy way to couple multiple oscilloscopes to one combined oscilloscope.

Figure 6.2: 3 Handyscope HS5s combined A six channel instrument is easily made by connecting three Handyscope HS5s to each other. When combining one or more Handyscope HS5s with Handyscope HS6 DIFFs, the daisy chained CMI bus must begin or end with a Handyscope HS6 DIFF. Addition- ally, the maximum sampling rate is limited to 100 MS/s at 14 bit resolution.
Front panel Figure 7.1: Front panel 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 Handy- scope HS5. 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 HS5 and the computer.
Rear panel Figure 8.1: Rear panel Power The Handyscope HS5 is powered through the USB. If the USB cannot supply enough power, it is possible to power the instrument externally. The Handyscope HS5 has two external power inputs located at the rear of the instrument: the dedi- cated power connector and a pin of the 9 pin D-sub extension connector.
8.1.1 Power adapter The Handyscope HS5 comes with an external power adapter that can be con- nected to any mains power net that supplies 100 – 240 V , 50 – 60 Hz. The external power adapter can be connected to the dedicated power connector. Figure 8.3: Power adapter 8.1.2 USB power cable...

AUX I/O The Handyscope HS5 has two Auxiliary I/O connectors at the rear of the instru- ment, connected to the CMI bus. These can be used to combine multiple instru- ments to a single combined instrument to perform synchronized measurements. Figure 8.6: Auxiliary I/O connector Description Description...
Specifications To achieve rated accuracy, allow the instrument to settle for 20 minutes. When subjected to extreme temperatures, allow extra time for internal temperatures to stabilize. Because of temperature compensated calibration, the Handyscope HS5 will settle within specified accuracy regardless of the surrounding temperature.
