The handheld Fluke 225C and 215C ScopeMeters are aimed at maintenance specialists who deal with industrial buses, networks and general electronics. They verify electrical signal quality on industrial buses including Profibus, Foundation, Modbus, CAN-bus, RS-485 and more. The new instruments feature easy signal validation of all the signal parameters, and floating and fully isolated inputs for true differential signal measurements. They allow users to verify the electrical integrity of bus and network, performing ‘physical layer tests’ and getting answers quickly and easily.
Like the Fluke 190C Colour ScopeMeter Series, the 225C and 215C offer a wide range of test capabilities including FFT analysis for identifying individual frequency components contained in a signal. The TrendPlot paperless recording function helps uncover long-term trends and shows changes in any of the measurable parameters (like the rise-time of a signal); the ScopeRecord function allows long records of waveform recordings to be made, over a period up to 48 hours; a ‘Replay’ function 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.
