Fluke is offering products to the value of 35 per cent of the list price of a hand-held Scopemeter when trading in a battery-operated, portable oscilloscope against the purchase of a new Scopemeter. The wide range of Fluke Scopemeters offer high-end performance with bandwidths from 20MHz up to 200MHz and sample rates up to 2.5GS/s.
Connect-and-view triggering provides an immediate, stable display for rapid fault finding. Models are also available with an industrial bus health test capability. The trade-in offer is valid for orders placed up to 30 September 2009; units to be traded in can either be the old Fluke 90 Series Scopemeters or the Tektronix THS hand-held units. Fluke offers several series of Scopemeters, all with a 600V CAT III safety rating. The 120 Industrial Series are black and white, dual-input oscilloscopes, which offer 20MHz or 40MHz bandwidth, a true-rms multimeter capability and paperless data recording.
The 125 model offers an industrial bus health check functionality that verifies electrical signal quality on all major industrial buses. For more demanding applications, the 190 Series offers bandwidths of 60, 100 or 200MHz. The latest Fluke 225C (200MHz, 2.5GS/s) and Fluke 215C (100MHz, 1GS/s) offer the industrial bus health test capability along with all the features of the 199C and 196C colour Scopemeters, making these instruments a signal analysis tool suitable for engineers working on electronic and electrical systems. The Trendplot paperless recording function on all series helps uncover long-term trends and shows changes in any of the measurable parameters (such as the rise-time of a signal).
The 190 Series and the 215C/225C models offer additional test capabilities including: FFT analysis for identifying individual frequency components contained in a signal; a Scoperecord function, which allows long records of waveform recordings to be made over a period up to 48 hours; and a 'replay' function, which enables the user to take a closer look at any anomaly seen flashing by on the screen, by replaying the last sequence of 100 screen images.
