![]() PM3055, Click for bigger PIC! Philips/Fluke Analog/+LCD display and Analog/Digital CombiScopes with AutoSet ![]() PM3365A, CLICK for bigger PIC! This series of late production scopes from Philips/Fluke are all based on the same core technology and control layout. Analog scopes have a secondary LCD display to show all control settings, and level/speed are selected with slew switches. The Auto-set switch gives one touch set up of all functions from triggering to level and sweep, an incredible time saver for many people. All scopes in this family include full TV triggering, as well as all regular internal/external modes, and scopes can have 1 or 2 full timebases to permit delayed, mixed and alternate timebase operation, a real help with waveforms that have both fast and slow characteristics. The famous COMBISCOPES have full function analog AND digital operation, giving the best possible presentation for each application, and still featuring Auto-Set. |

11K Systems ![]() Tek 11302 System, CLICK for bigger PIC! |
11K Series Oscilloscope Systems Sphere can now provide both Analog and Digital 11K systems, including 1130X and 1140X Frames and plug-ins to beyond 1GHz. These system have high precision displays, built in counter/timer systems with on screen display, and auto-set capability with GPIB interfaces. Outstanding scopes, these were usually too costly ($15-30K) for any but the highest end applications, but now that some have finally appeared in significant numbers on the used market, it is possible to put together affordable 11K systems with outstanding capability. Please note, it is no longer possible to service some of the digitizing portions of these systems, so all 11K systems are provided as-is, known functional and cal'd, but with no guarantee of ongoing hardware support if digitizer board failures occur. Even with these limitations, the 11K systems provide performance available in few other oscilloscopes. EMAIL for a specific system quote.
