Hello everyone, just wanting to introduce myself here. This is literally my first day on the forums and I can already tell there is an extreme amount of knowledge and help here. I've been working for my dad (his repair shop) since I was 15; i'm 20 now. I went to an automotive trade school straight out of high school and came back to work with my dad once I was done. I am brand new to scopes and how to use them. For the time being I am simply wanting to learn how to set up on every vechicle without any troubles and acquiring the correct waveforms (ignition wise mostly). At the same, I want to learn the basics of reading waveforms to help me everyday with misfires, lean, rich conditions. I will take any and every info that is thrown my way. I hope to learn alot and be pointed in the right direction at my times of confusion. Thanks to all and have a great day. 

I am a fifty three year old originally from the Bay Area and have been away for years. I work in the  Washington/Alaska commercial fishing fleet; sometimes as crew usually shoreside repair. The oscilloscope is an invaluble electronics troubleshooting tool. It is used in many other applications besides automotive ignition. If you can use a voltmeter you can use a scope. Good luck to you.
