With the high performance specifications
usually found on bench oscilloscopes, plus the large high resolution color screen, the new
Digital Persistence mode, and a much faster display update rate, the Color ScopeMeter
Series brings a new dimension to working in the field.
The full-color display makes identification of individual waveforms easier,
particularly when displaying large amplitude or multiple overlapping waveforms on screen.
On-screen color labels, measurements and warning are clearly linked to specific waveforms.
The bright, high contrast display allows for clear reading under varying light conditions.
And still a 4-hour battery operation time is assured!
The new Digital Persistence mode helps to find anomalies and to
analyze complex dynamic signals by showing the waveforms amplitude distribution over time
using multiple intensity levels and user selectable decay time - it's as if you're looking
at the display of an analog, real-time oscilloscope! A fast display update rate reveals
signal changes instantaneously, useful for instance, when making adjustments to a system
under test.
The high resolution screen together with the deeper
memory of 1200 samples per input in Scope mode, or 27,000 samples per input in ScopeRecord
mode, reveal more signal detail. A complete video line can be displayed with more detail
in one screen of 12 divisions. You can fix more because you can see more!
In addition to many automatic triggering modes like
Connnect-and-View for capturing virtually any signal, the new models also have a
"Stop-on-Trigger" in the ScopeRecord mode. This allows the ScopeMeter 190C
Series to store waveform data until the instrument is triggered or until a repetitive
trigger signal is interrupted. This way, the instrument will, for example, automatically
recognize a power failure and store the waveform data preceeding it.
The ScopeMeter 190 Series offers up to 200 MHz
bandwidth for capturing high frequency signals found in today's state-of-the-art
electronics. For less demanding applications, there's also a 100 MHz and a 60 MHz model.
You still get the same advanced functionality without paying for the bandwidth you don't
need.
With a maximum real-time sampling rate of 2.5 GS/s
per input, you can see what really happens with 400 p resolution. Both inputs have their
own digitizer, so you can simultaneously acquire two waveforms and analyze them with the
highest resolution and detail. If an anomaly flashes by on the screen, just press the
Replay button to see it again.
Scope users know how difficult triggering can be. Wrong settings show
unstable and sometimes wrong results. Fluke's unique Connect-and-View recognizes signal
patterns, and automatically sets up correct triggering. It provides a stable, reliable and
repeatable display of virtually any signal, including motor drive and control signals,
without touching a button. Signal changes are instantly recognized and settings adjusted
for, once again, a stable display. Benefit from the speed and convenience when measuring a
number of test points in quick secession, unlike ordinary AutoSet/AutoRanging scopes.
Scope users know how frustrating it is to see a one-time anomaly
flash by never to be seen again. Not with the ScopeMeter 190 and 190C Series! Now you can
look back in time with a touch of the replay button. In normal use, the instrument
continuously memorizes the last 100 screens. Each time a new screen is acquired, the
oldest is discarded. At any moment you can "freeze" the last 100 screens and
scroll through picture-by-picture or replay as a "live" animation. Cursors can
be used for further analysis. You can even use the advanced trigger capabilities to
capture up to 100 specific events. Two sets of 100 captured screens with individual time
stamps can be stored for later recall or download to a PC.
The memory stores 27,000 points per input for high resolution
recording of events up to 48 hours, and still captures fast intermittents and glitches as
short as 50 nsec. This continuous roll mode also stores events like motion profiles, UPS,
power supply and motor start-ups. And with 1000 X zoom you can look at the smallest
details, like individual power cycles. Two of these 27,000 point recordings can be stored
for later analysis.
A wide choice of automatic and manual trigger modes
gives you the flexibility to capture just about any signal you'll encounter.
Connect-and-View triggering is ideal for fast and easy checking of multiple testpoints.
The manual modes include time delay, video and pulse-width triggering. A fully isolated
external trigger input is included for troubleshooting time relationships between two
input signals synchronized to a third signal.
For analysis of waveforms, ScopeRecord™ and TrendPlot™
recordings, the ScopeMeter 190C Series features 30 automatic measurements, cursors, zoom
and a real-time clock. The analysis can be made directly or later when back at the office.
Up to 2 recordings and 10 scope screens can be stored for analysis, printout or download
to a PC.
Advanced waveform mathematics can be used to show the difference between two
signals using subtract or to display the power signal by multiplying Volt and Amp
waveforms . A versus B (XY-mode) can be used for analyzing phase and frequency relations.
The toughest faults to find are those once-in-a-while
intermittents. They can be caused by bad connections, dust, dirt, corrosion or simply
broken wiring or connections. Other factors, like line outages and sags, or the starting
and stopping of a motor can also cause a machine to stop. You may not be around to see it
- Fluke's ScopeMeter will. In this "paperless recorder" mode, you can plot the
minimum and maximum peak values and average over time - up to 22 days. The two inputs can
plot any combination of volts, amps, temperature, frequency and phase, with time and date
stamp, to help lead you to the cause of those faults quickly.
The ScopeMeter 190C Series with three independently
floating isolated inputs is safety certified for measurements in 1000 V CAT II and 600 V
CAT III environments. And the standard probes cover a wide application range from mV to
kV, making the ScopeMeter 190C ideal for micro electronics to electrical power
applications.
Just like the industrial ScopeMeter 123, the
ScopeMeter 190 and the new ScopeMeter 190C with color display are three-in-one instruments
incorporating a scope, multimeter and paperless recorder. The rechargeable NiMH battery
provides four hours of continuous operation, and takes just four hours to recharge.
Battery saving and auto power down functions take you easily through the working day.
