As a field-carried instrument, its faults concentrate in the isolated input front-ends, the color display, the trigger system, and the battery.

FAQs
My 196C display or a channel is failing — fixable? Yes. Display, battery, and isolated-input faults are repairable, then the channels are recalibrated so measurements are accurate, with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Are the inputs recalibrated? Yes — both channels are checked against our standards.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or request service.

Our Fluke scopemeter was dropped from the second tier, causing the display to go completely black. The scopemeter powered on, but we could not bring back the display. Sent in for evaluation, and they gave us a quote the next day. The quote was a good price and we proceeded. Very happy with the results of the repair and calibration.
