Safety Precautions
To use this instrument safely, it is essential that operating
and servicing personnel follow both generally accepted
safety procedures and the safety precautions specified in
this manual.
Specific warning and caution statements, where they
apply, will be found throughout the manual.
The terms "Isolated" or "Electrically floating" are used in
this manual to indicate a measurement in which the
ScopeMeter test tool COM (common, also called ground) is
connected to a voltage different from earth ground. The
term "Grounded" is used in this manual to indicate a
measurement in which the ScopeMeter test tool COM
(common) is connected to an earth ground potential.
Where necessary, the warning and caution statements
and/or symbols are marked on the instrument.
The ScopeMeter test tool COM (common) inputs (red
INPUT A BNC shield, grey INPUT B BNC shield, and black
4-mm banana jack) are connected internally via self-
recovering fault protection. The input connectors have no
exposed metal and are fully insulated to protect against
electrical shock. The black 4-mm banana jack COM
(common) can be connected to a voltage above earth
ground for isolated (electrically floating) measurements
and is rated up to 600V rms above earth ground.
A CAUTION identifies conditions and actions that may
damage the test tool.
A WARNING IDENTIFIES CONDITIONS AND ACTIONS
THAT POSE HAZARD(S) TO THE USER.

The ScopeMeter test tool uses a three-lead connection sys-
tem for dual input, isolated (electrically floating) measure-
ments. The connections for isolated and grounded
measurements are shown in the following illustration.
WARNING
DO THE FOLLOWING TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
IF A SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL COM (COMMON)
INPUT IS CONNECTED TO >42V PEAK (30V RMS):
1. USE ONLY THE TEST LEAD/PROBE SET SUPPLIED
WITH THE SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL (OR
SAFETY-DESIGNED
EQUIVALENTS
WITHOUT
EXPOSED METAL CONNECTORS).
2. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL EXPOSED METAL
BNC OR BANANA PLUG CONNECTORS IF THE
COM (COMMON) IS >42V PEAK (30V RMS).
3. USE ONLY ONE
COM (COMMON) CONNECTION
(THE 4-MM BLACK BANANA JACK).
4. REMOVE ALL PROBES AND TEST LEADS THAT
ARE NOT IN USE.
5. USE 600V RATED PROBE TIP ADAPTERS.
"600V" IS PRINTED ON EQUIPMENT SO RATED.

92B/96B/99B/105B Users Manual
If Safety-Protection is Impaired
For three-phase electrical or other isolated ground
industrial measurements, we strongly recommend that you
use the black Industrial Alligator Clip and the red and grey
Industrial Probe Alligator Clips (see Figure 4). These parts
are included with original purchase ScopeMeter test tools
and are also available as accessories from your FLUKE
representative.
Use of equipment in a manner not specified may
impair the protection provided by the equipment.
Before use, inspect probes for mechanical damage
and replace damaged probes!
Whenever it is likely that safety has been impaired, the
instrument must be turned off and disconnected from line
power. The matter should then be referred to qualified
personnel. Safety is likely to be impaired if, for example,
the instrument fails to perform the intended measurements
or shows visible damage.
Isolating from Input to Input
The ScopeMeter test tool is not isolated between inputs but
uses the black 4-mm banana jack for measurements
isolated from earth ground.
Complete isolation between INPUT A and INPUT B is
useful for some floating measurement applications, such
as measuring different isolated transformer windings at the
same time.
MAKING ISOLATED MEASUREMENTS
Isolating from Earth Ground
The ScopeMeter test tool uses a three-lead connection
system for dual input, isolated (electrically floating)
measurements. Use a test lead connected to the black 4-mm
banana jack as common ground.
For those applications requiring true isolated grounds
(commons) between inputs, we recommend that you make
two separate measurements or use two ScopeMeter test
tools.
There are only three wires to connect for dual input isolated
ground operation, useful for three-phase industrial voltage
measurements. You can connect the three leads on the
test tool (INPUT A, INPUT B, and common) to a three-
phase electrical power line in any order. Use the A-B mode
(see Chapter 5) to display all three phases of electrical
power at the same time.

MINIMIZING SIGNAL NOISE
In general, using your test tool on battery power only will
minimize noise pickup. Using the 10:1 probe will help in
noise rejection.
If you use the Power Adapter (PM8907), connect a test
lead from the black 4-mm banana jack COM (common) to
the measurement common (ground) of the system under
test. This technique reduces or eliminates any power line
related noise.

3. The Power Adapter/Battery Charger uses a trickle charge
for the batteries, so no damage can occur if you leave it
charging for long periods, e.g., through the weekend.
Typically a 21-hour recharge provides 4 hours of use.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, USE ONLY A BATTERY
CHARGER THAT IS AUTHORIZED FOR USE WITH
SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL.
Saving Battery Life
When operated only on batteries, the test tool conserves
power by shutting itself down. If no new keys have been
pressed for 6 minutes or if the battery level is too low, the
test tool beeps and displays a message. This prompts you to
turn off the test tool or to continue. If no key is pressed
during the next 5 minutes, the test tool turns itself off
automatically.
Use the following procedure to charge the battery pack and
power the instrument:
1. Connect the Power Adapter/Battery Charger to line
voltage.
2. Insert the Power Adapter/Battery Charger low voltage
plug into the Power Adapter connector of the
ScopeMeter test tool. The test tool can now be used
while the NiCad batteries charge slowly. If the test tool
is turned off, the batteries charge more quickly.
When the
is pressed ON, the last configuration prior to
the automatic shutdown will be restored.
Automatic power shutdown will not occur if Min Max
TrendPlot™ or ScopeRecord™ is active or if any key is
pressed. Although recording will continue if the batteries
are low, memory retention is not jeopardized.
NOTE
When the batteries are completely empty, the test tool
can not work during charging. In that case it is advised
to charge the batteries for 21 hours before using the
test tool.
If the Power Adapter is connected, there is no automatic
power shutdown.
During operation, when the batteries are low, a blinking
battery symbol
appears on the top right of the
display. When this occurs there is typically more than
30 minutes of operating time left.

FROM THE MEASURE MENU
At default, three measurement readings are displayed at
the same time, although you can display up to four
readings. See Chapters 4 and 6 for more information.
There are also a few more measurements that you can
only find in the Scope, Meter or EXT.mV modes. These are
listed below.
When you exceed the number of selected readings, all
readings shift down one and your latest chosen
measurement is placed on top. Notice that the previous
bottom reading is then removed.

Measure the RMS (Root Mean
Square) voltage of the input signal in Meter mode. This is
done with AC-coupled input so that the DC signal
component is blocked and the range is optimized for the
AC signal component. The V DC reading is inhibited due to
AC coupling. In some cases this measurement gives one
more digit of resolution over Vrms AC (DC coupled).
dBV AC+DC (decibel Volts) Measure the voltage ratio of
the AC and DC components of a signal with respect to a
reference voltage in Meter mode. This is done with DC-
coupled input.
dBV AC (no DC) (decibel Volts) Measure the voltage
ratio of the AC component of a signal with respect to a

TRIGGERING
Trigger Basics
Triggering tells the ScopeMeter test tool when to begin
displaying the waveform. You can select which input signal
should be used as the source, on which edge this should
occur, and at what waveform level it should occur. Finally,
you can tell the test tool to delay the waveform to be
displayed with a specified time delay, number of cycles, or
number of events.
The second top row on the display identifies the trigger
parameters being used. Trigger icons on the display
indicate the position of the trigger delay and the trigger
level. Refer to Figure 5-10.
For example,
20 ms/DIV TRIG:A +120EVT -5DIV
means that INPUT A is used as the trigger source with a
positive slope. The amount of trigger delay in time divisions
is -5, and that the amount of trigger delay in events is +120.

Using the 4-field Sequence Function
When viewing signals from an interlaced video system, you
may need to use the 4-field sequence function to get a

In interlaced video systems the color information in a
selected line may be alternating between two phases or
between two amplitudes. This depends on the video

Multiply
Multiplies two waveforms (each sourced from
an active input or a memory location) and stores the result
in the next free waveform memory. For example, power
can be calculated with MULTIPLY if SOURCE1 represents
the voltage drop across a device and SOURCE 2
represents current through that device. In the following
Figure, waveforms from Waveform 4 memory (upper) and
INPUT A (middle) are multiplied, resulting in the waveform
stored in Waveform 5 memory (lower).
Invert
INVERT allows you to reverse the polarity on
an active input or memory waveform and store the new
waveform in another memory location.
Integrate This function calculates and displays the area
of the selected waveform. Integrate allows you to totalize
the waveform over a period of time, showing the real power
dissipation when the waveform changes levels.

Filter
Any waveform (active input or memory) can be
filtered, with the resulting waveform stored in a new
memory location. Noise suppression or simply waveform
smoothing is thereby possible. Filtering is especially useful
with single-shot waveforms, where averaging of multiple
waveform samples is not otherwise available. In the
following figure, the upper waveform represents the INPUT
A waveform as measured, and the lower waveform
represents the filtered version recalled from Waveform 4
memory.
NOTE
In FILTER function, the -3 dB frequency is 0.8/time-per-
division.

can be made with your ScopeMeter test tool. The exam-
ples given can be used as an aid in many applications.
RED DOT
MEASURING TEMPERATURE
Temperature is an often measured characteristic. The
80T-150U optional Temperature Probe can be used in
conjunction with the test tool to measure the surface
temperature, air temperature, and non-corrosive liquid
temperature. You can measure fluctuations in temperature
over a long period of time when the Min Max recording is
activated. Readings on the test tool can be given in
Fahrenheit or Celsius.
In this example, the air temperature is measured over
24 hours.

MEASURING POWER WITH MATH
FUNCTION 92B 96B
When used with the optional 80i-1000s Current Probe, the
ScopeMeter test tool is able to measure voltage and
current at the same time. This may be used to measure
average power consumption of an electrical load on a
single-phase circuit. This measurement is reliable over a
wide range of frequencies, irrespective of the wave shapes
of voltage or current.
In this example you make use of the previous
measurement setup, measuring current with the 80i-1000s
on INPUT A, and will add the voltage measurement using
the grey 10:1 probe on INPUT B. Be sure that INPUT A is
set to 10 mV/A, and INPUT B is set for a 10:1 probe.

AMPLIFIER 92B
In this example you will use cursors to measure the rise
time of a pulse. Rise time is an indication of the bandwidth
limitation of an analog amplifier. First you determine the 0%
and 100% reference points of the waveform to be
measured. These are the intersections of the waveform
and the cursors. This manual determination of the
reference points enables you to ignore unwanted
overshoot, undershoot, or ringing. The test tool instantly
measures the rise time between 10% and 90%. For precise
measurements, set the slope to at least four time divisions.
Press as many times as necessary until you have a
rising slope of more than four time divisions.
Make sure that the complete slope is displayed. If
necessary you can use the trigger time delay to shift the
detail on the display.

Terminology
The following list defines special terms used in this manual.
The terms are listed in alphabetical order. Words shown in
italics can be found elsewhere in the list.
Average A processing technique to obtain the average
value of a repetitive signal, useful to eliminate noise.
Auto Set Adjusts voltage scale and time base based on
the characteristic of the active waveform, and automatically
produces a stable waveform of usable size.
AC See "Alternating Current."
AC Coupling A mode of signal transmission that passes
the dynamic AC signal component to INPUT A and INPUT
B but blocks the DC component. Useful to observe an AC
signal that is normally riding on a DC signal.
Backlight A light that brightens the display, useful for
improving visibility in dark surroundings.
Bandwidth The range of frequencies that the
ScopeMeter test tool can display accurately with no more
than -3 dB (.7x) attenuation of the original signal.
Alternating Current An electrical signal in which current
and voltage vary in a repeating pattern over time.
Amplitude The difference between the highest and
lowest level of a waveform.
Battery Save This feature enables the ScopeMeter test
tool to shut itself down when running on batteries if the
battery level is too low or if the test tool is not operated.

digital oscilloscopes, signals are not displayed at the
moment they are acquired. Instead, signals are first stored
in memory, then sent to the display. This enables the
ScopeMeter test tool to present several options when
displaying information, including "negative delay."
Contrast Contrast of the LCD. Can be adjusted as
desired.
Cursors Movable display lines that allow you to make
measurements between two locations on a waveform.
