Page 8: Environmental Considerations
Environmental considerations This section provides information about the environmental impact of the Handyprobe HP3. Handyprobe HP3 end-of-life handling Production of the Handyprobe HP3 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 Handyprobe HP3’s end of life. -
Page 9: Introduction
Introduction Before using the Handyprobe HP3 first read chapter about safety. Many technicians investigate electrical signals. Though the measurement may not be electrical, the physical variable is of- ten converted to an electrical signal, with a special transducer. Common transducers are accelerometers, pressure probes, current clamps and temperature probes. - Page 10 Figure 3.1: Single ended input Therefore the voltage that is measured with an oscilloscope with standard, single ended inputs is always measured between that specific point and ground. When the voltage is not referenced to ground, connecting a standard single ended oscilloscope input to the two points would create a short circuit between one of the points and ground, possi- bly damaging the circuit and the oscilloscope.

Page 11: Differential Test Lead
Figure 3.2: Differential input A differential input is not referenced to ground, but both sides of the input are ”floating”. It is therefore possible to connect one side of the input to one point in the circuit and the other side of the input to the other point in the circuit and measure the voltage difference directly. -

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. Figure 3.3: Sampling The sine wave in figure is sampled at the dot positions. By connecting the adjacent samples, the original signal can be recon- structed from the samples. -
Page 13: Aliasing
original signal can be reconstructed much better from the measured samples. Figure 3.5: The effect of the sampling frequency The sampling frequency must be higher than 2 times the high- est frequency in the input signal. This is called the Nyquist fre- quency. - Page 14 As stated before, when sampling a signal, only frequencies lower than half the sampling frequency can be reconstructed. In this case the sampling frequency is 1000 Hz, 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.

Page 15: Digitizing
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 cor- responding to the level that is closest to the voltage. The number of levels is determined by the resolution, according to the following relation: LevelCount = 2 The higher the resolution, the more levels are available and... - Page 16 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.

Page 17: Driver Installation
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 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. - Page 18 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. Figure 4.1: Driver install: step 1 When drivers were already installed, the install utility will re- move them before installing the new driver.
- Page 19 Figure 4.2: Driver install: step 2 When the instrument is still connected, the driver install utility will recognize it and report this. You will be asked to continue anyway. Figure 4.3: Driver install: Instrument is still connected Clicking No will bring back the previous screen. The instru- ment should now be disconnected.
- Page 20 Figure 4.4: Driver install: step 3 On Windows XP and newer, the installation may inform about the drivers not being ”Windows Logo Tested”. The driver is not causing any danger for your system and can be safely installed. Please ignore this warning and continue the installation. Figure 4.5: Driver install: step 4 The driver install utility now has enough information and can install the drivers.

Page 23: Hardware Installation
Hardware installation Drivers have to be installed before the Handyprobe HP3 is connected to the computer for the first time. See chapter for more information. Power the instrument The Handyprobe HP3 is powered by the USB, no external power supply is required. Only connect the Handyprobe HP3 to a bus powered USB port, otherwise it may not get enough power to op- erate properly. -
