This module covers the Waveform Overlay Tool, a free utility developed by Rod Maher of the Australian Pico group, designed to enhance waveform analysis within PicoScope.

Tom walks through the core features of the tool, including:

• Using the firing order input and cylinder ID chart to identify which stroke each cylinder is on at any given point in a waveform
• Applying degree markers over live waveforms for timing reference
• Loading custom overlay templates (such as a Ford V8 EI pattern) to verify camshaft position sensor synchronization
• Using cycle markers with compression waveforms to identify cylinders and diagnose issues like blow-by
• The Compare feature for side-by-side or overlaid waveform comparison with adjustable transparency and zoom
• Settings and customization options including opacity, text annotations, custom overlay images, and hotkeys
