Many of you have written Autel or me directly about a series of videos that would help you learn how to use a scope and how to interpret the patterns you see. I think that's great and I'm very excited about beginning this series. I am a firm believer that there are diagnostic challenges that you just can't resolve without a scope and the tool also makes testing nearly any system on the vehicle more efficient and more accurate with its use. Let's get started! The DSO, or digital storage oscilloscope, is a cousin of the multimeter you are likely using today. Both are digital instruments, rather than the old analog tools we used years ago. What this means is that the signal they are connected to is not displayed directly on the tool's screen. Instead, the tool samples the signal and converts the signals into a digital signal through an A/D, or analog to digital, converter. The accuracy of the displayed measurement is based, in part, on how many samples per second the tool can take. The more samples it gathers, the more accurate the signal display. |
