About the 196-box
The Fluke 196 is a 100 MHz, 1 GS/s handheld oscilloscope from Fluke's original 190 Series ScopeMeter family (192, 196, 199). It combines two fully isolated scope inputs, a separate multimeter input and recorder functions in a battery-powered instrument for electronics and industrial field service.
Each input has its own digitizer and is isolated from the other input and from ground, so floating measurements can be made on two points at different potentials. Ratings are 1000 V CAT II / 600 V CAT III via the 10:1 probes and on the meter input. Connect-and-View automatic triggering, ScopeRecord roll mode with 27,500 points per input, TrendPlot recording and pulse-width and video triggering are included.
The instrument works with FlukeView ScopeMeter software through an optically isolated adapter cable; Fluke's 196-S kit added that cable, FlukeView and a hard case to the basic kit.
The original 190 Series has been discontinued. Fluke followed it with the 190B/190C models and then the 190 Series II, which has since been followed by the 190 Series III.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Fluke 196 the same as the 196C or 196B?
No. The 196 is the original 190 Series model with a monochrome display; the later 196B (monochrome) and 196C (colour) share its 100 MHz / 1 GS/s performance.
What came in Fluke's standard 196 kit?
Per the users manual: two 10:1 voltage probe sets (red and grey), meter test leads, an extra accessory set for the 196/199, battery charger and manual; the 196-S version also had the RS-232 adapter, FlukeView software and a hard case.
What replaced the Fluke 196?
Fluke's later generations are the 190B/190C series, then the 190 Series II and today the 190 Series III ScopeMeter test tools.
