Fluke is offering a choice from a long line of Fluke products to the value of 35% of the list price of a handheld ScopeMeter when trading in an old battery operated, portable oscilloscope against the purchase of a new Fluke ScopeMeter. The wide range of rugged 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 30th September 2009, units to be traded in can be either the old Fluke 90 Series ScopeMeters or the Tektronix THS Handheld units.

The latest range of Fluke handheld ScopeMeters are the ideal replacement for ageing Tektronix THS handheld scopes and old Fluke 90 Series ScopeMeters. Fluke now 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 the major industrial buses. For more demanding applications, the 190 Series offer 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 the signal analysis tool of choice 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 (like 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 re-playing the last sequence of 100 screen images.
