The Autonerdz Community Forums - more channels for automotive

fordman Guru Member Picogroup Offline Posts: 488 tulsa Oklahoma USA Gender:	more channels for automotive Mar 10^th, 2015 at 6:47pm just asking if anybody else sees a need for more channels. as he new vehicles have dohc with sensors for each cam and when you add crank there is 5 channels,that is if you want a sync with cams and crank. I wonder if pico will make a 6 or 8 channel automotive scope

Two words: Reference Waveforms.

Running two automotive scopes, one with a regular release and one with a beta release it is possible to have eight automotive channels.

The only way they will be truly synched would be something that could be captured by a single trigger for both.

Might be a good reason to pick up one of the new independent ground auto scopes. Wink

I am not there yet, but I bet I will be soon.

If I ever get to the point where I NEED, on a regular basis, more than 4 channels, I'll hope & pray Pico has developed an automotive 8 channel tool. Otherwise, ATS would get my business, and most of you know how I feel about ATS's use of computer screen real estate.

He had a new Chrysler and a New Ford with exhaust hoses on them ran outside the building. I didn't get any pictures, but it was damn impressive. I walked in at the very tail end of his class because I left early out of my class.
