The Creative Lab Scope Technique Page
By Tom Roberts
This site will be very basic and will grow very slowly as time allows. Mostly it will be automotive related, specifically automotive diagnostics and use of the digital storage oscilloscope. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to e-mail me with comments or suggestions. The purpose of this site is to share information that will benefit the industry as a whole, and help individual technicians be more effective. Feel free to use this material, but please credit the source as "Autonerdz.com".

Article Access Procedure:
The technical articles are free to access, but require a username and password. Fill out this form to get your free password. Sorry, but we have had to replace the automated email system with this form due to the spam bots that troll the internet looking to harvest email addresses. This will also be more reliable for those of you that have email services like AOL that block your mail from you. This is a separate system and your Autonerdz Community Forums login will not work with the articles section.
Your information will not be shared with anyone. It will be used only to send you a notice when there is a new article, product, or change to the site that might interest you.
Some of the scope images in the following technical articles are scope captures from a Fluke 97. The software used to download and process the data is AES Wave by Automotive Electronic Services. The high resolution captures were made with a PicoScope PC based DSO.
Technical Articles:
I often get asked about information sources. Since accurate systems descriptions and wiring diagrams are an integral part of Creative Lab Scope Technique, it is essential to have an information system that is as accurate and complete as possible. There are many information sources and we may have to use more than one. But only one stands out as the single most comprehensive factory source information system available. ALLDATA
