Fluke has enhanced its ScopeMeter range of high-performance handheld monochrome oscilloscopes.
Oscilloscopes troubleshoot variable-speed drives
With safety certification to 1000V CAT II and 600V CAT III, Fluke ScopeMeters help users to safely solve virtually all electronics measurement problems encountered in the field.
The two Fluke 190C Series Colour ScopeMeter models, the 196C and the 199C, now offer double the maximum sensitivity on the y-axis, giving 2mV per division for greater measurement accuracy.
A new troubleshooting feature offers automatic waveform comparisons, against a reference trace, for pass/fail testing.
The oscilloscope automatically stores the most recent 100 pass and 100 fail traces in memory, which can then be scrolled or rerun at the touch of a button.

Rugged temperature calibrator ideal for the field
Designed for process instrument technicians, the Fluke 724 Temperature Calibrator can test and calibrate almost any temperature instrument.
The four new Fluke Medical ScopeMeters include two monochrome models, the 196BM and 199BM, and two colour models, the 196CM and 199CM.
These offer all the standard functionality of the 196s and 199s, plus measurement capabilities optimised for servicing medical imaging equipment and video systems, including X-ray, MRI, nuclear medicine and ultrasound machines.
These features include current-over-time measurement, triggering on high-resolution noninterlaced video signals, smart averaging and extended offset.
All 199 models offer 200MHz bandwidth and 2.5Gsample/s - sampling, and the 196 models, 100MHz bandwidth and 1Gsample/s sampling.
The colour display on the 199s makes identification of individual waveforms easier on the screen, making it possible to visually distinguish individual traces if waveforms are displayed on top of, or very close to, each other.
A digital persistence mode gives the instrument an analogue oscilloscope like waveform decay, especially useful when working with complex or modulated, dynamic signals.
All ScopeMeter models now have a large 320 x 240 pixel display, a fast display update rate, up to 1000V independently floating isolated inputs, offer connect-and-view automatic triggering, a facility for measurement of effective output voltages of variable speed motor drives and frequency inverters, a 5000 counts true-RMS multimeter function, and optional FlukeView software for documenting, archiving and analysis.
