This class is the ideal foundational class for any technician looking to sharpen their diagnostic edge with real-world, high-value skills. This class demystifies the oscilloscope, showing how it goes far beyond a basic multimeter by revealing what’s happening in a circuit in real time—exactly as a control module sees it. The class is focused on: “How to get the waveform on the screen.” A number of highly requested automotive specific tests will be demonstrated with real scope captures including:

Relative Compression
Secondary Ignition
Intake and Exhaust Pulse Captures
Databus Networks (CAN and LIN)
Dynamic Battery Testing/Starter Testing
Alternator Testing
Camshaft to Crankshaft Correlation
Current Probe Testing of Actuators Including Motors and Solenoids

Each test discussed will encompass: scope setup details, basic waveform anatomy and characteristics, as well as mixing in some real world applications of tests to demonstrate the key concepts. The PDF provided will serve as a clear reference manual for scope users so they can take it back to the bay and practice these skills right away, immediately offering opportunities to expand their skill set.
