Electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems that detect the interference effect of active tags passing between RF signal transmitting and receiving gates are very popular in modern retail stores.
To troubleshoot and maintain such systems, a handheld tool combining frequency counter, multimeter and oscilloscope functionality, is particularly easy and efficient, especially in a potentially crowded shop.
One of the range of models of Fluke ScopeMeters is the ideal tool.
Especially helpful in this application, the envelope mode of the Fluke 199C uses a cursor to enable simple frequency readings of the RF sweep signals generated by the gate transmitter.
The Fluke ScopeMeter 190 Series of handheld, two-channel oscilloscopes include 196 and 199 models, available with either monochrome or colour screens.
The 196 and 199 models offer 100 or 200MHz bandwidths and 1 or 2.5Gsample/s sampling rates, respectively, as well as providing a true-RMS multimeter in one affordable, easy to use instrument.
