Description

Many instruments in one device:

The Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope is a professional computer controlled USB measuring instrument with a high voltage differential input with a maximum input range of ±800 V DC (566 V RMS). It is delivered with Multi Channel oscilloscope software, the world’s most versatile measuring software. It turns the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope into a USB Multimeter, a USB Oscilloscope, a USB Spectrum analyzer, a USB Data logger/Transient recorder and a Protocol analyzer. This powerful and compact measuring instrument can solve almost every measurement problem.

Differential input:

The Handyprobe HP3 is equipped with a high voltage differential input with a maximum input range of 800 V DC (566 V RMS). Because of the differential input, it is not possible to create a short circuit to ground through the usb oscilloscope. The high voltage input range makes it possible to use the Handyprobe HP3 without additional attenuators. See the classroom section for information about differential measuring.

Fast streaming:

The advanced driver technology makes it possible to measure a continuous stream of data from the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope to the computer, at a maximum rate of 10 MSamples/s. The maximum measuring time is only limited by the available space on the hard drive. The high sampling rate makes it possible to capture short events with high accuracy. It is also possible to monitor e.g. the line power with the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope for a very long time and afterwards view and analyze each cycle of the signal thoroughly.

Sophisticated software:

The Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope is delivered with Multi Channel oscilloscope software, the world’s most versatile measuring software. It turns the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope into an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a data logger, a multimeter and a protocol analyzer. The many mathematical operations make it possible to extract any information from the measured signals.

Low noise measuring lead:

The input of the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope is differential, which means that both sides of the input have a high impedance. There is no connection to ground as in conventional oscilloscopes which are used with coax cables and standard oscilloscope probes.

The special low noise Measure lead TP-C812A is developed for the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope. It is very insensitive to external interfering signals. The two ends can be placed up to two meters apart, while picking up very little interference. With a conventional oscilloscope with standard oscilloscope probes this is not possible. The maximum distance between the positive side and ground of a  standard oscilloscope probe is usually limited to approximately 20 cm. The Measure lead TP-C812A for the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope does not have this limitation. Measuring between two distant points is now no problem anymore. The Measure lead TP-C812Auses a heat resistant silicone isolation and shrouded banana plugs.

Ergonomic design:

The Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope is designed to fit nicely in your hand. Its housing is fitted with soft rubber areas that ensure a good grip on it. A wrist strap can be attached, to carry the Handyprobe HP3 high voltage oscilloscope or to hang it near the test setup.
