MA 190 kit. Optimal user convenience and application coverage is obtained when the kit is used with a Fluke 192/196/199 Note 2 that has the MS 190 installed.
Chapter 2 Using the MS190 Function mAs Measurements Ω 50 BNC CABLE The MS190 allows you to make mAs (milliampere x seconds) cursors measurements. You can do this on live waveforms, frozen waveforms (HOLD), recorded waveforms, and on saved waveforms. To perform mAs measurements, do the following: CS190-1R Connect the current shunt CS190-1R to input A...

Fluke 192/196/199 User Manual To move the trace: Oscilloscopes and dynamic range To prevent waveforms from being distorted, in particular Move the trace up or down until signals with large very steep edges, the signal should stay the ground marker hits the top - within the dynamic range, just as with any Oscilloscope.

Using the MS190 Function Extended Offset Triggering The extended offset range allows you to shift the signal up and down. Be aware that only the “visible” part is sampled by the ADC, and that the trigger level has to stay in the visible area too.
Fluke 192/196/199 User Manual Persistence Select one of the persistence options and jump to Display Use persistence to select the display time of the upper and lower boundaries of dynamic waveforms. Use persistence also to display color modulation and color burst shapes.
Using the MS190 Function Smart Average Smart Average Open the Average menu Most users do not like to use averaging as the standard default mode. Occasional deviations in a waveform just distort the averaged waveshape , and do not show up on screen clearly.

Fluke 192/196/199 User Manual Smart average vs. normal average Normal average smoothes the waveform of repetitive signals. It gives you the averaged waveform over successive acquisitions. A single waveform that deviates strongly will affect the smoothed waveform. This happens for example when looking at an interlaced video system.
Page 15
Using the MS190 Function Smart Average Smart average gives you the primary waveform, but displays an incidental trace of different waveshape directly and without affecting the primary waveform . You can now for example look at the averaged waveform on an interlaced video system, and still see the fly-back line flash by (See Figure 2-6).
Fluke 192/196/199 User Manual Non Interlaced Video Triggering Select Non interlaced to open the Scan rate menu To select triggering on a non interlaced video signal, do the following: Select the required Scan rate and Apply a video signal to the red input A.
Using the MS190 Function Variable Input Sensitivity Variable Input Sensitivity Open the Input A Options... menu. The variable input sensitivity allows you to adjust the sensitivity continuously, for example to set the amplitude of a reference signal to exactly 6 divisions. The input sensitivity of a range can be increased up to 2.5 times, for example between 10 mV/div and 4 mV/div in the 10 mV/div range.
