• Vpwm function for motor drive and frequency inverter applications.

And all the high performance scope specifications of the Fluke 190 Series ScopeMeter apply:

• Up to 200 MHz bandwidth
  
• Up to 2.5 GS/s real time sampling
  
• Connect-and-ViewTM triggering for an instant stable waveform
  
• Automatic capture and replay of last 100 screens
  
• Isolated inputs (1000 V CAT II/600 V CAT III)
  
• 4 hours battery operation
  

Easier Identification of traces, everywhere

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!

See dynamic signal behavior instantaneously

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.

Reveal more signal detail

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!

Even more triggering modes

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.

Many more new functions

• Color for easy identification of individual waveforms.
  
• Full-size, high-resolution screen for revealing more signal detail.
  
• Digital Persistence for analyzing complex dynamic waveforms like on an analog scope.
  
• Fast display update rate for seeing dynamic behavior instantaneously.
  
• Stop-on-Trigger in ScopeRecord mode for storing and analyzing pre-trigger waveform data.
  
• Waveform reference for visual comparisons.
  

A choice of Bandwidth

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.

Fast sampling to see what's really happening

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.

Connect-and-ViewTM Automatic triggering for and instanst, stable display

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.

Automatic capture and replay of 100 screens

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.

Deep memory for high-resolution ScopeRecordTM

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.

Advanced trigger modes

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.

Analysis Power

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

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.

Use TrendPlotTM to help find intermittents, fast

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.

Measure from mV to kV

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.

A versatile test-tool

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.
