Have been using the Fluke model 95 Scopemeters here for about 3 years
now. These are low end (for Scopemeters) battery operated units that
come supplied with a wall wart, 2 color coded scope probes (red and grey),
and a variety of grabbers and test prods. It has dual channels with a
separate trigger input. They utilize LCD displays with a green tint. I'm
more accustomed to seeing a brightly lit trace on a blue background. These
have a dark trace against a green background. This is my only complaint!
As it's name implies, this is also a multimeter with accessory leads
for measuring milivolts up to 3 volts, diode test, and resistance scales
30 ohms to 30 megohms (7 scales). With the scope probes one can measure
AC-RMS volts milivolts to 2.5KV, DC from milivolts to 3KV, frequency
(limited) and duty cycle. Measurements can be displayed in dBV, dBm, dBW,
and audio watts. Maximum scope frequency is rated at 50 megahertz. There
are horizontal and vertical cursor controls for both channels. Go ahead,
hit the AUTO SET button...it works fine business! If you desire a higher
bandwitdth or component tester similar to the Huntron, then the higher
end Fluke Scopemeters will fill the bill.
We turn these loose with students who have no electronics experience.
Have yet to have one get damaged. In fact, In the 14 years I've been
working at this job the worst damage I've ever seen to a Fluke meter
of any kind is a blown fuse. No, I don't work for Fluke. I'm just
sold on their ruggedness, reliability, and peace of mind that no
matter who I hand a Fluke instrument to that it will be returned in
working condition.
