Hi, I saw the handheld Fluke 225C scope and it looks great for troubleshooting bus systems like Profibus DP.
But it's been discontinued.
I found the recently released Fluke 125B which also has this system which Fluke calls "Bus Health Test"
But compared to the old 225C it's very limited in bandwidth (40Mhz vs 200Mhz) and therefore not really something I feel is worth $2000
The new Fluke 190 Series II scopes seem great, I especially like the ones with 4 input channels, it could be very useful to me.
But they have dropped the "Bus Health Test" in this series, or atleast not released a model with it yet.
Anyone got some ideas on why this is?
Just for info the old 225C scope was based on the 190C scope, i.e. it the bus test was just a feature added and to differentiate it they gave it a new model name...
I know there exists dedicated Profibus testing equipment and while that might be a good way to go as well for me a scope which can be used for so much more seems a better investment.
