content: Hello,What are functionality differences between 3 series/generations of Fluke scopemeters?Lets presume we are speaking about same level of scope with 2 channel, 200Mhz and 2.5GS/s.As they are released in 20 year span and I read that some cannot be even upgraded to latest firmware as mentioned by forum members.

content: B Series has a black and white screen, C series is in color, 190 Series II is available with 2+DVM or 4 channels, has more memory and integrates some features of the prior Medical series devices, Series III is the same as Series II with a higher resolution screen and wifi support. Only the last still receives firmware updates. It is basically impossible to buy used.

content: Hello! I wanted to buy myself a Fluke 199C.Tell me, I'm looking at this option:https://www.ebay.com/itm/285549701043What problems can there be when purchasing a used appliance? What should I pay attention to, how to choose a good device?Following the ebay link, the device display shows the message:"With this ScopeMeter we offer you a free bonus" what does this mean?For some reason, the other option requires calibration, is it difficult to do?https://www.ebay.com/itm/395109369202
