Re: Fluke Scopemeter190
Oh, nice find.
Looks like my Firefox + NoScript was keeping me a little too safe, wasn't able to get to those pull down menus before. Thanks much for the lead.
Looks like I have a little perusing to do this evening.

Re: Fluke Scopemeter190
Hey Toasty,
Thanks for the info. Yes, I did perform the reset procedure, it is also included in the user's manual.
If you have access to a service manual, what does it say in the chapter titled "Darned thing looks perfect but won't grab a signal"?
Thanks again.

Re: Fluke Scopemeter190
Ok, new information.
The Firmware upgrade succeeded however the unit will still not read a waveform, so unless I happen across a "secret recipe" to fixing this, it will be off to the repair shop.
I just got off the phone with the fine folks in the service area of Fluke out there in Everitt WA.
They "flat rate" repairs as follows:
$615.00 + freight to fix anything and everything that is wrong with the unit. Includes calibration.
Calibration only is $198.00

Re: Fluke Scopemeter190
Thank you for the very succinct reply there Toasty, no disrespect taken here in the very least.
I am screwing around with it simply because I am a man, and that is what we do. I've never been able to quite put my finger on it, but it's the same reason I screw around with my boats, bikes and cars.
You needn't have any concern of me "having a go at fixing" this unit, I have no intent to perform any sort of component level repair on this unit. I was just looking to see if there was anything obvious. Perhaps things have...Leave a comment:

Re: Fluke Scopemeter190
Good morning folks,
Thanks for the replies so far. I can see that I should have been more descriptive in my original post.
This unit is in just mint condition as are all the leads, probes carrying case etc. which is all the more confusing to me. It doesn't look like this thing worked hard a day in its life. All of the original paperwork, manual, CD serial cable, 2 sets of probes and several adapters are present and in the same condition.
I didn't think to originally, but I did go ahead and check the impedance of...Leave a comment:

Ok,
My n00bness is showing through, along with my age. The "Thumbs down" Icon registered in my brain as a "Question Mark" when I posted this. Working now to figure out how to edit that to something more appropriate. Bad eyes, bad brain, just one mark short of a trifecta here.Leave a comment:

Fluke Scopemeter190
Hi folks,
I have just come into a Fluke 190 Scopemeter that has sat idle and was put up for a few years. Everything looks to be in excellent physical condition including probes and leads. After reconditioning the battery, the unit came right up and seems to hold a good charge.
The VOM functions all work fine, but the scope functions seem to flatline. An Attempt to trim the probes to the build in square wave generator was dysfunctional, even though I can read proper voltage there with an alternate VOM.
I have been away from component level diagnostics for a... -
Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello folks,
First off let me say that I am completely amazed that a group like his exists and am very happy to have found this resource.
Some 30 years ago I took 2 years of electronics in High School with the intent of making the electronics field my career. Well, after a little stint in the Navy I ended up drifting into another profession that has provided a good living for me, but electronics was always something that I enjoyed. And building and perpetually upgrading higher end computers for personal...Leave a comment:
