Fluke (UK) has introduced a test drive programme for the innovative 190 series high speed potable 'scope.
The new Fluke 180 Series represent the next generation of powerful and accurate handheld digital multimeters.
They have been enhanced to offer performance beyond other hand-held meters through faster readings, extended ranges: 100kHz bandwidth on voltage and current measurements, 0.025% accuracy and a 50,000 counts digital display that provides 1uV resolution.
The 180 Series meet the measurement requirements for even the most demanding applications.

Fluke sweetens ScopeMeter package
Fluke UK is offering a free accessory kit worth over £280 for all customers trading in an oscilloscope when purchasing a new Fluke ScopeMeter 190 Series.
The extended ranges allow the user to measure resistance up to 500Mohm, capacitance up 50,000uF and even frequencies up to 1MHz The 0.025% accuracy, 1uV resolution and unique 100kHz bandwidth for voltage and current measurements ensure that even the most delicate electronics can be serviced with great detail and accuracy.
For enhanced troubleshooting the 180 Series offer a relative mode, Min/Max/Average recording with time stamp and a Fast Min-Max mode to capture events as short as 250us.
In addition to this temperature, dB, pulsewidth/duty cycle, conductance, continuity and diode measurement possibilities make the 180 Series multimeters for all applications.
Both 180 Series models have an infrared computer interface which allows the user to exchange measurement data between the meter and a computer.
The optional FlukeView Forms software is ideal for documenting test procedures for new equipment installation, meeting regulatory guidelines, and for tracking maintenance histories.
The Fluke 189 can be set up to capture and store measurement data in stand-alone operation, allowing a user to collect information about a measurement over time for later analysis.
In the logging mode, the meter monitors all "changes" in the input signal and then stores a summary of those changes based on a timed interval as well as the stability of the measured signal.
Once the logging session is complete (up to 3 days), the stored information is downloaded to a PC using the optional FlukeView Forms software.
The Fluke 189 can also store up to 100 separate readings.
This allows the user to make a series of measurements using various functions of the meter and review those readings at a later time either through the meter's display or on a PC using the optional FlukeView Forms software.
Primary and secondary readings, meter functions, and the corresponding icons, are all stored in the meter's memory along with a time stamp to indicate when the reading was taken.
The stored readings, therefore, make it possible to retain measurements in the meter for comparison to current or "real time" measurements. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
