leads and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when damaged.

• Remove all probes, test l eads and

accessories that are not in use.

• Always connect the battery char ger f i r st t o

the ac outlet befor e connect ing it to the test tool.

• Do not connect the ground spring to

voltages higher than 42 V peak ( 30 Vrm s) from earth ground.

• Do not apply voltages that di f f er m or e t han

600 V from earth ground t o any input when measuring in a CAT III environment. Do not apply voltages that di f f e r m or e t han 1000 V from earth ground t o any input when measuring in a CAT II envi r onm ent .

• Do not apply voltages that di f f er m or e t han

600 V from each other t o t he i solated inputs when measuring in a CAT III environment. Do not apply voltages that di f f e r m or e t han 1000 V from each other t o t he i solated inputs when measuring in a CAT II environment.

• Do not apply input voltages above t he r at i ng

of the instrume nt . Use caut i on w hen using 1:1 test leads because the pr obe t i p voltage will be directly transmitted to the test tool.

• Do not use expos e d metal BNC or banana

plug connectors.

• Do not insert metal obj ects into connectors.

• Always use the test tool only in the manner

specified.

Voltage ratings that are mentioned in the warnings, are given as limits for “working voltage”. They repr esent V ac rms (50-60 Hz) for ac sinewave applications and as V dc for dc applications.

Triggering on Waveforms

About this Chapter

This chapter provides an introduction to t he t r igger functions of the test t ool. Tr igger ing tells the t est tool when to begin displaying the waveform. You can use fully automatic triggering, t ake cont r ol of one or m or e main trigger functions (sem i- aut om at ic t r iggering) , or you can use dedicated trigger functions to capt ur e special waveforms.

Following are some typical trigger applications:

• Use the Connect-and-View™ function to have full

automatic triggering and instant display of virt ually any waveform.

• If the signal is unstable or has a very low frequency,

you can control the trigger level, slope, and t r igger delay for a better view of the signal. ( See next section.)

• For dedicated applications, use one of the four

manual trigger functions:

• Edge triggering

• External triggering

• Video triggering

• Pulse Width triggering

Fluke 192/196/199

Setting Trigger Level and Slope

The Connect-and-View™ function enables hands-off triggering to display complex unknown signals.

When your test tool is in manual range, do t he following:

Perform an auto set . AUTO appears at the top right of t he scr een.

Automatic triggering assures a stable display of virtually any signal.

From this point, you can take over t he basic t r igger controls such as level, slope and delay. To optimize trigger level and slope manually, do the following:

Figure 26. Screen with all Tri gger I nf or m ation

1 Display the TRIGGER key labels.

2 Trigger on either positive slope or

negative slope of the chosen waveform.

3 Enable the arrow keys for manual

trigger level adjustment.

4 Adjust the trigger level.

Observe the trigger icon that indicates the trigger position, trigger level, and slope.

At the bottom of t he scr een t he trigger parameters ar e displayed. (See Figure 26.) For example, means that input A is used as the tr igger sour ce with a positive slope.

When no trigger is found, t he t r igger par ameters appear in gray.

Using Trigger Delay or Pre-trigger

You can begin to display the waveform some time befor e or after the t r igger point has been det ected. Initially, you have 2 divisions of pre-trigger view (negative delay).

To set the trigger delay, do t he f ollowing:

5 Hold down to adjust the trigger

delay.

Triggering on Wavef or m s

Using Trigger Delay or Pre-trigger

Observe that t he t r igger icon on the screen moves to show the new trigger position. When the t r igger posit ion moves left off of the screen, the trigger icon changes into

to indicate that you have selected a trigger delay. Moving the trigger icon to the r ight on t he display gives you a pre-trigger view.

In case of a trigger delay, t he st at us at the bottom of t he screen will change. For exam ple:

This means that input A is used as the trigger sour ce with a positive slope. The 500.0 ms indicates the (positive) delay between trigger point and waveform display.

When no trigger is found, t he t r igger par ameters appear in gray.

2 Open the Trigger Options menu.

3 Open the Automati c Tr i gger

menu.

If the frequency r ange of the automatic triggering is set to > 15 Hz, the Connect-and-View™ function responds more quickly. The response is quicker because the test tool is instructed not to analyze low frequency signal components. However, when you measure f r equencies lower than 15 Hz, the test tool must be inst r uct ed t o analyze low frequency components for autom at ic triggering:

4 Select > 1 HZ and r et ur n to the

Using the Independently Floating Isolated Inputs

You can use the independently floating isolated inputs to measure signals that are independently floating f r om each other.

Independently floating isolated inputs offer additional safety and measur em ent c apabilit ies com pared to inputs with common references or gr ounds.

Measuring Using In dependen t ly Floating Isolated Inputs

The test tool has independently floating isolated inputs. Each input section (A, B, External Trigger / DMM ) has it s own signal input and its own reference input. The reference input of each input sect ion is electrically isolated from the ref er ence input s of t he ot her input sections. The isolated input architecture m akes t he t est tool about as versatile as having three independent instruments. The advantages of having independently floating isolated inputs are:

• It allows simultaneous measurement of

independently floating signals.

• Additional safety. Since the commons are not direct ly

connected, the chance of causing short cir cuit when measuring multiple signals is greatly reduced.

• Additional safety. When measuring in systems with

multiple grounds, the ground curr ent s induced are kept to a minimum.

Because the references are not connected together inside the test tool, each refer ence of the used inputs must be connected to a ref er ence voltage.

Independently floating isolated inputs are still coupled by parasitic capacitance. This can occur between the input references and the environment , and between the input references mutually (see Figure 44) . For this reason, you should connect the references to a syst em gr ound or another stable voltage. If t he reference of an input is connected to a high speed and / or high voltage signal, you should be aware of parasitic capacitance. (See Figures 45, 46, 47 and 48.)

5 Choose 04, jump to Day.

6 Choose 19, jump to Format.

7 Choose DD/MM/YY, accept the

new date.

You can change the time in a similar way by opening the Time Adjust menu (steps 2 and 3.)

Tips

Saving Battery Life

When operated on the batt er y ( no battery charger connected), the test t ool conserves power by shut t ing itself down. If you have not pressed a key f or at least 30 minutes, the test tool turns itself off autom atically.

Note

If the power adapter is connected, there is no automatic power shutdown.

Automatic power shutdown will not occur if TrendPlot or Scope Record is on, but the backlight will dim. Recording will continue even if the battery is low, and retention of memories is not jeopardized.

Setting the Power Down Timer

Initially the power shutdown time is 30 minutes. You can set the power shutdown time to 5 m inut es as f ollowing:

1 Display the USER key labels.

2 Open the User Opti ons m enu.

3 Open the Battery Save O pt i ons

menu.

4 Select 5 M inutes.

Changing the Auto Set Options

With the next procedure you can choose how auto set behaves when you press the

AUTO (auto set) key.

4 Select Signal > 1 Hz, then jump

to Coupling.

1 Display the USER key labels.

2 Open the User Opti ons m enu.

3 Open the Auto Set Adjust

menu.

If the frequency r ange is set t o > 15 Hz, t he Connect - andView function responds more quickly. The response is quicker because the test tool is instructed not t o analyze low frequency signal components. However, when you measure frequencies lower than 15 Hz, the t est tool must be instructed to analyze low frequency components for automatic triggering:

With the coupling option you can choose how auto set behaves. When you press the

AUTO (auto set) key, t he

coupling can either be set to dc or left unchanged:

5 Select Unchanged.

Note

The auto set option for t he signal frequency is similar to the automatic t r igger option for the signal frequency. (See Chapter 5: “Aut om at ic Trigger Options”). However, t he aut o set option determines the behavior of t he aut o set function and shows only effect when you press the auto set key.

Extending Battery Oper at ion Time

Extending Battery Operation Time

Typically, NiMH batteries always meet the specified operating time. However, if t he bat t er ies have been extremely discharged (for exam ple, when empt y bat teries were stored for a long period) it is possible that the battery condition has deteriorated.

To keep the batteries in optimal condition, observe t he following guidelines:

• Operate the test tool on batteries until the

symbol appears at the bottom of the screen. This indicates that the batter y level is low and that the NiMH batteries need to be recharged.

• To obtain optimal battery condition again, you can

refresh the batteries. During a battery ref r esh, t he batteries will be fully discharged and charged again. A complete refresh cycle takes about 12 hours and should be done about four times a year. You can check the latest battery r ef r esh dat e. See sect ion “Displaying Calibration Information”.

To refresh the battery, make sure that the test tool is line powered and proceed as follows:

1 Display the USER key labels.

2 Open the User Opti ons m enu.

A message appears asking whether you want to start t he refresh cycle now.

3 Start the refr esh cycle.

DC to 60 Hz..............................

AC coupled, low frequencies:

50 Hz direct (1:1).....................

60 Hz direct (1:1).....................

With the 10:1 probe the low fr equency r oll off point will be lowered to 2 Hz, which improves the AC accuracy for low frequencies. When possible use DC coupling for maximum accuracy.

AC or DC coupled, high frequencies:

60 Hz to 20 kHz.......................

20 kHz to 1 MHz.........................

1 MHz to 25 MHz......................

For higher frequencies the instrum ent ’s fr equency r oll off starts af f ect ing accuracy.

Normal Mode DC Rejection...........................>50 dB
