More Info

Fluke 123B Industrial ScopeMeter Hand-Held Oscilloscope 20MHz

The Fluke 123B Industrial Scopemeter builds upon the original 123 Scopemeter to offer a solution to industrial electrical and electromechanical equipment troubleshooting and maintenance applications. The instrument combines the functions of an oscilloscope, multimeter, and high-speed recorder into one efficient and easy-to-use tool. The 123B allows the user to troubleshoot with ease and swiftness, displaying waveforms with Connect and View trigger and setup technology.

Fluke Connect-and-View

Using the wrong settings on an oscilloscope can sometimes lead to the wrong measurement data, which can impact the work of industry professionals. Fluke's exciting and unique 'Connect-and-View' technology can recognise signal patterns, as well as setting up the correct triggering to provide a stable, reliable, and repeatable display. Connect-and-View is triggered with virtually any signal, whether that be motor drives or control signals. The user does not even need to press a button, and signal changes are instantly recognised. 

Please note: the 123B needs the optional WiFi USB Adaptor, which is available in the 123B Kit option.

The 123B also has an 'Auto Readings' function that runs on IntellaSet technology, which automatically displays the most appropriate numerical measurements on screen, which allows for simple data retrieval. Using IntellaSet technology alongside the aforementioned 'Connect-and-View' automatic triggering ensures that the user can not only see the correct waveform, but an appropriate reading as well.

Intermittent events mostly prove the toughest faults to find, often caused by bad connections, dust, dirt, corrosion or simply broken wiring and connectors. Other factors can also cause these intermittent faults, but the ScopeMeter can pinpoint these issues. The Fluke 123B can plot the minimum and maximum peak measurement values or record the waveform trace, with recording sessions able to last up to 14 days. With the addition of the innovative 'Recorder Event Detect', the user can pinpoint the exact location of the event with ease, without trawling through masses of data.
