Note: there are two versions of this product available. Both kits are identical, apart from the 'S' kit includes a copy of Fluke's ScopeMeter software, a magnetic hanger, soft carrying case and a screen protector.
You can choose which version you'd like using the dropdown box above.
The next-generation of Fluke's original 123 ScopeMeter, the Fluke 123B is a powerful, dual-channel handheld oscilloscope designed for use in industrial electrical, electro-mechanical and maintenance applications.
The Fluke 123B is three instruments in one; it functions as an oscilloscope, powerful digital multimeter and a high-speed recorder, allowing you to get more done with one instrument rather than several.
With the Fluke 123B ScopeMeter, you'll be able to work faster and get all of the data you need quickly to assess what's wrong with a system. Fluke's unique Connect-and-View trigger and setup technology will automatically view related measurements using Fluke IntellaSet technology, allowing you to quickly test without the need to make manual adjustments.
As an oscilloscope, the Fluke 123B has two channels with bandwidth of 20MHz. Using this mode, you'll be able to track two individual signals over a period of time, then record all data directly into the on-board memory recorder for analysis at a later date. A Recorded Event Detect mode will also capture intermittent signals, ensuring that you get a snapshot of everything that's happening with no gaps.
The Fluke 123B has dual built-in digital multimeters included as standard. With these, you can measure resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, voltage, frequency and more, all without the need to use a separate measuring instrument.
Recording Data with the Fluke 123B
The Fluke 123B stores all of its data directly on the built-in recorder; via USB connection, it's possible to transfer all of this data to PC for further analysis.
To do so on PC, you will require a copy of Fluke's ScopeMeter software. This is included as standard in the 'S' kit, but is not included with the standard kit.
If you don't want to use the software, how about using your phone instead?
The 123B ScopeMeter is Fluke Connect enabled (requires optional WiFi adapter); this allows the ScopeMeter to interface wirelessly with your smartphone or tablet running the Fluke Connect app! With Fluke connect, you can transfer results, share them with others, compare and contrast measurement data, upload to the Fluke Cloud and much, much more.
