Hi all,
I've been looking at a few different fluke portable scopes, and I think in order to make a good decision and not spend more money than I need to... I need to know the operating frequency of common sensors/signals in a car.
Theres 3 particular scopes i'm looking at:
Fluke 123 Industrial ScopeMeter (20mhz)
Fluke 124 Industrial ScopeMeter (40mhz)
Fluke 196C ScopeMeter (100mhz)
Those are listed in order of feature/cost. They all appear to accept dual inputs, which is what I would need at the minimum. I think my main question is if any of the main signals (ignition, freq. sensors, speed sensors, etc) go above 100MHz? It would be nice to get the 196C since its color and is much nicer... but the cost rises exponentially. There is actually a 199C, but it costs about $3k... i couldn't justify buying that unless I had a shop or some way to make money off it.
Does anyone have any experience with scopes, or might know some info about the sensors/signals in common EFI/ignition systems? Thanks!
