I've had the Fluke 123 for 16 years and I absolutely love it. If you are an industrial electrician working with all sorts of industrial electronics such as VFDs, Temperature controllers, SCR control boards for heaters, Synchronous motor controllers, etc. then this is a great tool.

Thanks for a very informative and easy to follow demonstration. I just bought a Fluke 124 used, no manual, never saw one before, and now know how to use it, enough to probably find my way through all my needs. Great job for an old geezer like me, never saw a scope that didn't way fifty pounds before. Semper Fi, John McClain

This is one of the best review videos I've ever watched. Thank you for your clarity and concise review.

Excellent demonstration of how to perform these tests and the capabilities. Thank you.

I enjoyed watching and learning from your video! Thank you for taking the time to create it and post it.

Nov 2020, This is really great review. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

great video. great editing. straight away to the point!

great video. I work offshore and we have a few of these scope meters around but i have no clue how to use all the functions correctly your video was very informative thankyou!

Really appreciate this straight to the many points review !

I guess it's a very old meter. I just bought a Fluke 125 NIB. Someone owned it but never used it. Gave $200 USA dollars for it. The fact it's Bus Health offers RS-232 says it all. Really appreciate the video.

Will you sell it to me for 400$

200 Dollars is cheap! Usually they cost up to 1000 Dollars.

@@johnbiden2834 True but it's a pretty old Scope Meter. I haven't decided if you keep it or part with it. I'm a Technician but use an old Tektronix 2235 Ocilloscope..

@@scotta9114 Whats the problem of an old scope, as long its functional and look-and-feel is good? This scopemeter is not so bulky, i stil like it much and use it as a multimeter with graphics. Its portable and isolated from mains (no unintended short-cuts can happen) and from PC, if infrared cable is attached. Yes, it has no zoom or deep memory, and its limited to 20 MHz/40 MHz. But this is not a problem, its just a limitation, as anything has (when i use a screwdriver, i not expect its a hammer). Nobody should throw his multimeter away, because its just old. Same with scopes. Especially Fluke is vintage and never worthless. When i pull out my 20 years old Fluke multimeter it measures precicely and reliable as new meters, while other meters loose precicion, if not calibrated at least any 5 years. Some new devices from Far East have terrible software and not the same look-and-feel as Fluke. Some not even had hardware-trigger. This scopemeter fills the gap between multimeters and bench-top scopes. If you want a better portable scopemeter with battery, choose Rhode Schwarz Scope Rider. But until i dont need it really, i will not buy it (4000$)

Great Review. I'm thinking to get one

Thank you! Very informative.

Thank you Sr for this useful video. A lot.

Thank you, there's just not enough bus health measuent videos out there. There is hardly any tutorial on bus health measurement found.

I would love to see more of the rs485 bus health. Preferably simulating poor wiring and multi addressed devices with proper termination resistor on the EOL and without EOL resistor

Dankeschön sehr gute Arbeit empfehlen wert🙋🏼‍♂️🇩🇪

Excellent demonstration. I hope that you demonstrate how to use the software to extract voltage trend and is it possible to convert tends into an excel sheet values ?

thank you. I would love to see some more instructional videos on bushealth measurements. for example how does one know which wire to connect the probe on....

Cat was very comfortable in the back😸

I'am Glad to see these videos. I am an electronics engineer and I work in the maintenance of hospital equipment. I am Brazilian and here I have difficulty getting calibration and test apparatus to better executs my work. I would like to know How I can get the products of biomedical Fluke.

your intense stare disturbed me slightly but I forgive you

Thank you so much. This was very intuitive. would you happen to know if fluke 123 B also has all the same functions or not?

@fulltank360

No power quality on 123B.

I know that the series 125 meter is the top of the line in this series because it includes the ability to make watts, harmonic analysis. My question to you is are you familiar with the fluke 43B power analyzer because I would like to know if the fluke 125 incorporates all the functionality of the fluke 43B

@fulltank360

43B is full fledged 1phase power analyser. But what makes 125 handy is its multimeter and scope functionalities including dual trace . This makes its good for field repair as well as power quality tests.

Прикольно ) Thanks !

gud video thanks

Good stuff! Thanks for the video! Looking at a secondhand 123 right now for €100. Should I jump on it?

I was considering getting a Fluke 123 second hand, and this video has mostly sold me. But I heard their usable scope bandwidth is actually only around 2.5MHz?

The Fluke 125 has a real-time sampling is 25MS/s so it really depends on the resolution you need and what you are trying to capture. The 125 will not replace a bench scope.

What current clamp do you recommend for up to 1A DC to measure. Must it be a Fluke Clamp?

Fluke i30/i30s - Current range: 30 mA to 30 A DC, 30 mA to 20 A AC rms ,Frequency range: DC to 100 kHz

Estou com problema com osciloscópio Fluke 125 não está mantendo carregado a bateria e agora a onde está toda bagunçada

The 123 can't do power measurement?

Please it's possible to have harmonics Whit that?

Dual inputs are isolated or non isolated?

Can this meter be used to check dc voltage, the menu appears to indicate so? Thank you.

One is included with the 125, as what i know. Its called Fluke BB120 (BNC To Shielded Banana Adapter)

Anyone know why this Scope meter was discontinued? I have one myself.

because its old. May Be because the new model costs twice. Who knows
