Fluke 215C Scopemeter – Obsolete

Fluke 215C/003 Scope meter. Based on the 199C and 196C Color ScopeMeters, the 225C and 215C offer the full functionality of those instruments yet with the addition of powerful test capabilities for a wide variety of Industrial Bus systems. When in Bus health Test mode, these ScopeMeters automatically make an analysis of the electrical signals passing through the bus.

This product has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is not available for new purchase.  See the Fluke 225C for direct replacement options

Product Overview: Fluke 215C Scopemeter – Obsolete

Fluke 215C Scopemeter

The Fluke 215C ScopeMeter (100 MHz, 1 GS/s) with Bus Health test capabilities built-in and color screen

 

Building on the capabilities of the 199C and 196C Color ScopeMeters, the 225C and 215C not only retain their full functionality but also introduce advanced testing features tailored for a wide range of Industrial Bus systems. In Bus Health Test mode, these ScopeMeters automatically analyze the electrical signals traveling across the bus and directly compare them to industry-standard parameters for the specific bus type.

Users can also switch to an Eyepattern display, which provides a visual overview of the signal quality, offering a clear and immediate assessment.

The instruments categorize signal parameters as ‘good,’ ‘weak,’ or ‘bad’ by comparing them either to predefined industrial standards or to custom user-defined reference values. In addition, each parameter is displayed with its real-time measurement, along with statistical minimum and maximum values tracked over time. The reference values used for comparison are also shown, giving users clearer insight into the system’s behavior.

Tested parameters include signal amplitude, bias voltage, rise and fall times, jitter, distortion, and both in-band and out-of-band noise—depending on the specifications outlined in the relevant industry standard.

Fluke 215C Scopemeter Specifications:

Specifications
Bandwidth
225C:  200 MHz
215C:  100 MHz
Sample rate:
225C:  2.5 GS/s
215C:  1 GS/s
Bus health test:
 Verifies the electrical parameters of industrial bus systems using automatic measurement and analysis functions. Next to that, an Eyepattern mode is provided for visual inspection of signal quality.
Parameter classification:
 Default values:
 well within limits = ‘good’, gives green tick mark
 within specified percentage of the limit values = ‘weak’, gives orange tickmark
 beyond limit values = ‘bad’, gives red tickmark
 Limits values, as a default, are based on industry standard for the selected bus type or may be set by the user. The tolerance band (percentage) taken into account for the classification ‘weak’ may be altered by the user.
Bus systems supported:
 AS-i (EN50295, 166 kb/s);
 CAN-bus (ISO-11898, up to 1 Mb/s);
 Modbus 232 (EIA-232 up to 115 kb/s);
 Modbus 485 (EIA-485 up to 10 Mb/s);
 Foundation Fieldbus H1 (61158 type 1, 31.25 kb/s);
 Profibus DP (EIA-485 up to 12 Mb/s);
 Profibus PA (61158 type 1, 31.25 kb/s);
 Ethernet 10Base2 (coaxial, 10 Mb/s);
 Ethernet 10BaseT (UTP, 10 Mb/s);
 Ethernet 100BaseT (100 Mb/s);
 RS-232 (EIA-232, up to 115 kb/s);
 RS-485 (EIA-485, up to 10 Mb/s).
Modes:
 Waveform Parameter analysis with automatic read-out and parameter validation (good / weak / bad); test limits are based on industry standards or may be set by the user.
 Eyepattern display mode.
Measured parameters (where applicable):
 bias voltage level,
 signal amplitude,
 pulse width or baud rate,
 risetime,
 fall time,
 jitter,
 signal distortion,
 noise HF,
 noise LF,
 in-band noise.
Eyepattern display mode:
 Gives waveform display of bus signals with user selectable persistence of the display. Timebase, attenuator and persistence settings may be altered by the user.
Persistence modes:
 off – short – medium – long – infinite

 

Although, both the Fluke 215C and Fluke 225C are obsolete products, Fluke offers other Scopemeters that may fit your need.
