Handheld scopes become big screen stars
Fluke has expanded the ScopeMeter 190 Series to include the 196C and 199C with a larger, high-resolution colour screen and extended functionality.
The 190C colour models also include frequency spectrum analysis using fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis as a standard feature, as well as two new triggering modes and "cursor-limited" automatic measurements.
With safety certification to 1000V Cat II and 600V Cat III, Fluke ScopeMeters help users to safely solve virtually all electronics measurement problems encountered out in the field.
The battery-powered Fluke ScopeMeter 190 Series offers up to 200MHz bandwidth and 2.5Gsample/s real-time sampling rates, the speed, performance and analysis power usually found only on high-end bench oscilloscopes.

Test drive a portable ScopeMeter
Fluke (UK) has introduced a test drive programme for the innovative 190 series high speed potable 'scope.
Bandwidths start at 60MHz for the entry-level 192B.
The waveform memories on all models have been increased by 150%, allowing as many as 3000 samples per channel to be acquired.
This greatly increased waveform resolution can be used with the new 16x zoom function to find tiny details in a long waveform, for example the colour burst in a video signal or a single pulse in a complex datastream.
The high-resolution waveforms can be transferred to a PC running optional FlukeView ScopeMeter software for documenting, archiving and analysis.
All 190C Colour Scopemeters now include frequency spectrum analysis using FFT.
This makes it possible to identify individual frequency components in a signal, and to reveal the effects of vibration, signal interference or crosstalk.
The standard "connect-and-view" automatic triggering function greatly simplifies triggering, but since manual triggering is sometimes required, two new modes have been added to the 190C colour series.
N-cycle triggering ensures stable "live" images of a signal, for example, in frequency dividers and clocked digital systems.
Dual-slope triggering enables triggering on both rising and falling edges, so that any edge will act as a triggering event - especially useful, for example, when making eye-patterns from digital streams.
The 190C models now also feature automatic power and RMS voltage measurements.
These can be performed on a specific, user-identified portion of a waveform, with the cursors used to define the time window of interest.
This is ideal for measuring power during the first mains cycle after closing the mains switch (to determine the inrush current).
All ScopeMeter models have a large 320 x 240 pixel display, a fast display update rate, up to 1000V independently floating isolated inputs, a facility for measurement of effective output voltages of variable speed motor drives and frequency inverters and a 5000-count true-RMS multimeter function.
