The Fluke PM 3384A Autoranging CombiScope is a 100 MHz, 4-channel instrument that transitions between analog and digital storage oscilloscope modes for comprehensive signal analysis. Built on hybrid architecture, it delivers real-time sampling at 200 MS/s with equivalent sampling up to 10 GS/s on repetitive signals, making it suitable for electronics troubleshooting, component characterization, and transient capture across industrial and laboratory environments.

– Key Features
• Dual-mode operation (analog/digital) in single instrument
• Signal averaging reduces noise and increases vertical resolution
• Pre-trigger and post-trigger acquisition for complete event capture
• Narrow glitch capture at 5 ns minimum pulse width
– Typical Applications
Digital circuit verification, transient analysis, embedded system debugging, switching power supply characterization, and real-time signal troubleshooting in manufacturing and service environments.
– Compatibility & Integration
Originally developed by Philips, now Fluke. Operates in both analog and digital storage modes within a single platform.
