Has its limitations but it is really versatile for automotive and home usage
The media could not be loaded. The main not so desirable limitation is that the minimum voltage per division on the oscilloscope is 500mV (0.5V) which could be too high for some applications.But as there are 10 pixels between each division, we could distinguish steps of 50mV, which allowed me to visualise signals like:- Starter motor cranking current with an amp clamp- Battery voltage during cranking- Step motor signal- Smart alternator square signal- CAN high and low bus signals. Also having a multimeter means we can quickly check resistance between obd pins 6 and 14 and verify we're getting around 60ohms as they're 2 off 120ohms in parallel in the system. If not, then it was easy enough to visualise short to positive, to ground and can bus signals on the oscilloscope.- AC voltage at home too.Also in the video attached, we can see perfectly the pulse width modulation going to the led so we can understand much better why they are changing colours.Another useful feature is that capacitance can be measured over a wide range up to 100mF. Some equipment doesn't reach that range and that allowed me to diagnose a faulty 330uF capacitor in the kitchen lights driver which was making the lights flash on and off rapidly.So, even though we might not be able to look at some fine details e.g. the moment where the fuel injector needle starts and stops moving, we would still be able to compare traces from different injectors, ignition and relative compression from different cylinders.To be honest, this wouldn't be the tool for a full automotive application, but just the fact we can actually visualise and measure so many different parameters either with a multimeter or oscilloscope functions, it is already the tool I use the most.In the future I might consider getting an oscilloscope with 2 channels and better voltage resolution, but in the meantime I will keep pushing the limits of this one.Due to it's versatility, I would recommend it for anyone's toolbox either working in the garage or at home.
