Scope meters serve as both portable oscilloscopes and digital multimeters for testing electrical, electro-mechanical, and electronic/industrial control systems. A scope meter is ideal for applications in which field service professionals need digital tools to analyze sophisticated electrical signals and waveforms. Scope meters record frequency and visualize the shape of an electrical field, as well as troubleshoot electrical equipment, display distortion, determine amplitude and gauge timing relative to associated systems.
What Are Scope Meters Used For?
Scope meters are used to troubleshoot electrical devices, which allows technicians to perform efficient and precise tests. These handheld oscilloscopes measure electrical signals and a diverse range of waveforms. With many models being rugged, portable, and user-friendly, these devices are ideal for work out in the field and on the go. A scope meter analyzes the quality of a signal and helps operators determine the appropriate maintenance needed for the device or network. People that use scope meters include engineers, field technicians, control panel operators, and electricians.
