The Handyprobe HP3 from TiePie Engineering sets a new benchmark in portable measurement technology. This compact USB oscilloscope features a fully differential input capable of measuring voltages up to 800 V peak, making it ideal for applications where safety and signal integrity are paramount. With a maximum sampling rate of 100 MSamples/s and a memory depth of 1 MiSamples, the HP3 offers the performance needed for capturing and analyzing fast signals with high resolution and accuracy.

Designed for mobility and ease of use, the Handyprobe HP3 fits comfortably in hand, with a durable housing and soft rubber grips. Its USB-powered design eliminates the need for external power supplies, making it truly portable. A special low-noise measuring lead has been developed to complement the HP3’s differential input. This lead allows measurements over distances up to two meters between terminals, without the interference typically associated with conventional coaxial cables.

The differential input design not only enhances measurement flexibility but also provides additional protection to the connected PC by avoiding direct ground connections. This feature is especially beneficial in high-voltage or isolated systems, where traditional oscilloscopes might pose a safety risk or fail to deliver accurate readings.

The Handyprobe HP3 is more than just an oscilloscope. Paired with TiePie’s powerful Multi Channel measurement software, it transforms into a multimeter, spectrum analyzer, and Y-t recorder. The software supports a wide range of mathematical functions and signal processing tools, such as integration, differentiation, filtering, and complex multi-step operations. Results can be viewed in customizable formats and saved for further analysis.

For extended recordings, the HP3 supports continuous streaming measurements, limited only by the computer’s storage capacity. This makes it ideal for long-term monitoring and analysis in fields like power electronics, automotive diagnostics, and industrial automation. With its advanced features and robust design, the Handyprobe HP3 delivers professional-grade measurement capabilities in a truly portable form.
