Fluke Industrial (Compact Electronic Testing Equipment)
"Zero royalties, availability of source code and the compatible PC development version of the Kernel (Nucleus PC+) were strong motivators for choosing Nucleus for our real-time kernel. We were also extremely impressed by the quality of the source code and documentation, not to mention the excellent sales and technical support." --John Mudie, Development Engineer Fluke Industrial B.V.
Nucleus powers Fluke's breakthrough industrial oscilliscope
In 1969, Fluke developed the digital multimeter, and in 1991, they introduced the innovative ScopeMeter® test tool which combines an oscilloscope and digital multimeter in one handheld tool.
The new Fluke 123 Industrial ScopeMeter offers breakthrough technology with unique features like "Connect-and-View." It completely changes the way oscilloscopes are used. By simply connecting to the test points, the instrument automatically analyzes the input and displays the signal with all its characteristics, without any need to setup triggering, amplitude, timebase or other settings. This is often a hassle and a time consuming effort with traditional oscilloscopes.
Development of the Fluke 123 Industrial ScopeMeter required concurrent development of software and hardware. The hardware includes a digital ASIC based on Motorola Flex Core™ technology, incorporating a 68000 core with dedicated keyboard, serial line, display and signal processing support. By using Nucleus PC+, Fluke was able to develop the software architecture and much of the user interface requirements before the ScopeMeter hardware became available. Porting the software to the Nucleus PLUS/68000 platform was just a question of recompilation.
