I have yet to see such a thorough explaination of scope use in automotive use. Please continue to make more videos!!!! Thank you!!
This video was excellent. No loud music, plainly spoken, one mechanic speaking to others. I wish all YT would follow his lead.
I learnt more about oscilloscopes in this video than anywhere else. Thank you so much
I took a course in college over electronics and how to properly utilize an oscilloscope, and I believe I learned even more here in the span of about 20 minutes than I did in a whole damn course. Bravo.
Check out trained by techs
Me too!!!!! Great video. I like how they don't edit out simple mistakes like not taking the plugs out, etc.......!!! :)
You should really check out scannerdanner channel learned alot..
even me,
I toughly enjoyed this video, having a degree in Automotive Service Technology, we went over basic oscilloscope operation but never delved into anything except electrical theory and a quick check for spark plug wires. Thanks
Paying customer here. Your presentation in these vids, I think, is phrickin' phenomenal.
Nice introductory presentation of oscilloscope usage in automotive diagnostics.
Looking forward to seeing its use in other automotive sub-systems.
A brilliantly straightforward and easy to understand instructional video. Thank you Alex.
I watch your program so much times that I had to purchase all of them. Love the information and the correct terms and words.
Amazingly easy to follow introduction to automotive use of a scope. And not boring either, watching the whole video was fun! Best explanation on the use of the amp clamp ever!
So far, the videos produced on this channel have really astonished me, and, as an avid car lover with a decent depth of automotive knowledge, it has already answered questions that no other place has been able to answer for me. And the live presentation of the information is so incredible smooth that it is breath taking. Good job, and, please, keep up the good work!
I never knew how I could apply an oscilloscope to the automotive industry. That was one impressive video. It not only explained how the scope functions but what else it can be used for. Thanks for posting such a great video. Barry
Wow! I know next to nothing about oscilloscopes but you make it all so clear and comprehensible.
you really are a great person ! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, may god bless you !
Thinking of get an oscilloscope.
For my DIY interest on cars.
With the way you demonstrate the use of one.
I really will look into it.
Thanks for your time on doing a great understanding video. 👍
Simply an outstanding video. In 2020, oscilloscopes are pretty much an absolute necessity.
Such a well done, and EXTREMELY informative video! been trying to find a video that lays it out like this for a minute now!
Thank you very much!!! Keep it up!
You’ve done an excellent job explaining how a scope works and how to use it, I haven’t found this on any other channel most times they just use it with very little explanation thank you for this series. You have a new fan!
Maybe you can also learn how to save and check the oscilloscope waveform with the comprehensive diagnostic equipment: ruclips.net/video/xgJQ8nncl1g/видео.html
I personally appreciate as an automotive service technician wants to know more about this product the oscilloscope. Thank you so much!!!
I don't use oscilloscopes for automotive applications, but this video finally helped me understand what triggering does. No one else has dumbed it down like you have.
Thanks this is a good video. I liked it, and for a mechanic I'm impressed you are actually troubleshooting! not part swapping! You blew me away! I was totally surprised when you clearly and actually described how the oscilloscope works. This is a great video. Thank-you. Well done.
RIP Ingress
Duke you're right about that. He is very good.
i was impressed with this video because you took your time to explain the use of a scope in diagnosing automotive problem
All the videos I've seen so far are amazing! Well done!!
Thank you very much for this very good explanation. So far the best I've seen for automotive oscilloscopes to explain beginners how to use it. Thanks!
I love how they explain in detailed and i can see all the connections
Without any doubts, the best channel of mechanics. Superb.
one of the best video I ever/ever seen for how the oscilloscopes work..... many many thanks bro
Nicely done this video. Thanks for putting it together and sharing it. I am in the process to buy one but didn't know how to use it. Now, this is a start for a DIY on my vehicles.
Very Nice, Enjoyed this Video. Love the Informative Visual Presentation & Explanation.
One amongst the best channel and presenter I have ever found on RUclips
He is amazing
The fact this video is done in one take with minimal editing is almost therapeutic.
I purchased this course, and the alternator video (the one after oscilloscopes) is WOW 😲💣🤯!!!
Best explanations ever... 👍👍👍
My recommendation to everyone for this course...
I learned in this course so many things about how cars work, that I couldn't in few months researching on the internet...
I luv how you analyze the function and the conversion of the scale patterns /voltage you did it in a way that just got through to me set me up on some more research thanks much
Excellent video. So well explained. Best one on the Picoscope I've watched.
Excellent stuff, especially the comment about knowing what to look for and how it works. Many times I have tortured a student by not giving the answer and asking more questions perhaps the smallest of clues because I know they know the answer and to watch that moment when the light goes on in their brain and they fix the problem on their own. Their confidence is then doubled in their own abilities.
Greetings, Mr. Alex Muir,
I am Divyansh Sharma, and I love your video course. I’m a man who wants to learn about cars and spend my life with them, and this video course is really, for me at least, the bridge to a life of automotive excitement. I love how you go into extreme detail about everything, and explain it with all your heart. It’s really helpful for car enthusiasts like me, who want to go into cars, but know a fraction of what there is to know before you can pop the hood and get to work. I especially love those little bits of humour you include in the middle, they really brightens things up. I admire how you really know what you’re doing, which gives me, and I’m pretty sure everyone else, confidence, that we won’t screw things up when we try to do something as little as change the oil.
Since I love your course so much, I ask (in the best way possible): When can I get to see the rest of it? You explaining gearboxes, differentials, and with your amazing 3d graphics, the braking system, the power steering, and suspension. I really admire what you’re doing, which is why I’m so excited to see the rest of your magic. Thank you so much for taking time to read this, and I hope you’ll get back to me soon.
Regards,
Divyansh Sharma
Boy! I can't wait to see more diagnostic with oscilloscopes.
Excellent video and instruction on the pico scope .
Thank you
thanks- some basic settings i always got confused is now clear in my mind,thanks Alex. good job ,now i can start using my pico on cars to check signals,injectors -commonrail where high current is drawn, cam sensor,crank sensor,timing ,wow a whole world opens.on todays car forget the meter, check canbus speed,signal well inside the ecu whats happenning . Respect
Excellent video i have hantec coscilloscope connected to PC never really understood how to use it properly your video has made it much easier to understand.Thanks
Alex this is a fantastic class for the use of Oscilloscope and also the use of the Pico. I was looking for a class which was it helpful and detailed on oscilloscope.
Hopefully you can make more videos like this on the use of the Oscilloscope Pico on different uses like how to check maf sensor or map and others will be awesome.
For many years I wondered how those things worked, in 37 minutes you took all my questions away. Great job!!!
Brilliant, learned an absolute ton of info here. Very well explained and will be very handy in the future.
That was very well done I enjoyed every moment of it thank you.
Is channel is pure gold!
Man I love this course . It's very detailed , well explained , it has great quality. It's really worth it I would say the best 18 € I have ever spent. Looking forward for the upcoming videos ! There is something I would like to ask though, I am unable to find the 3D animations on the website , I don't know about the app because I haven't installed it yet but I would love to have that feature on the website so that I can access it from my laptop. Wish you all the best and keep doing your great job!
Very nice video. The WPS500 is worth its weight in gold. I use it regularly and it can really nail down some hard to find issues.
Best ever video on RUclips. Great teacher with spureb explanation
Thanks Alex for your explicit instruction. I agree totally with all the other positive comments ... keep 'em coming!
Really fantastic demonstration of the oscilloscope - THANK YOU MUCH 👍👍😁✌️✌️
Appreciate your concise and precise explanation. The clarity of information is fantastic. Thanks.
Maybe you can also learn how to save and check the oscilloscope waveform with the comprehensive diagnostic equipment: ruclips.net/video/xgJQ8nncl1g/видео.html
I liked the way how he explained the details , thank you , You doing A great job 👍
Just wow and absolutly we want the complete series of testing ever part in car and thanks again 👍👍
wow nice example showing how a multimeter(voltmeter) really works and how and oscilliscope is different. Ive watched so many videos on oscilliscopes and never was that point really made. Ive heard other electonics channels mention something about votlmetes being an average, but this example makes that really clrear, thank you.
Very nice tutorial and demo!
Came here from the course just to comment how awesome this video was. Well worth the money.
You my friend are an excellent teacher. I have been looking for such a long time on the Internet to find someone who can teach me how to use an oscilloscope. You made it seem so easy. Answered so many questions that I could never find on RUclips . This is why I've subscribed to our channel. Thank you so much for all the details you presented in this video. 👍 👌

@@topmonkey6512 Thanks. I checked it out. Worthwhile watching.
Thanks for this video. It’s really interesting to know these little tips.
thank you for explanations. you spent a lot of time and effort to bring that knowledge as more easy to understand. you are awesome
Superb demonstration!
One of the best automotive video I ever watch on RUclips... You are a PRO......!!!
Sorry Alex... I have only 5 "*****" to grate your video...!!!
The way this dude says “across time” 🔥🔥🔥
Great presentation. Thanks!
Tough subject to teach to newbies on the best of days. Good job 👍😁 SUBBED! Thank you ❤
Great presentation!!
That final pressure peak that appeared to be lower than the rest was not accompanied by current draw. So it was the engine's inertia facilitating the compression stroke. You can also see it is a somewhat wider/slower peak.
Outstanding tutorial, kudos to you & keep motorin'!
Nicely explained. You can simulate a compression problem on the relative compression test by slightly loosening up a spark plug.
Learned more than I did in tech school for electrical thanks so much
Hi fantastic video very informative looking forward to watching more of your videos on oscilloscope
Thanks
This is Great .impressive explanation. Thank you so much
Thx for the very detailed Explanation: It's really a great teaching tool when the Instructor YOU, doesn't assume ME understands anything. Thank again
Great explanation about oscilloscopes.
Very good video. You are a great teacher, and I learned alot. Thanks.
You should put the transducer into cylinder 1, and use it as your trigger...
Then, you need to know the firing sequence of your pistons.
This way, you will always know which is cylinder 1, followed by the firing sequence of the other cylinders (i.e. 1234, or 1324, etc..).
Great stuff, I have one and this helped a lot. I'm mostly working on motocycles. Now I can tune them with more precision!
Just the information I was looking for! I'm looking into getting a scope but I was curious what the real difference is between this type and the automotive type that has the scanner included. Very helpful video, and came across it by chance.....thank you!!
great job alex i also learned a heck of a lot from your videos thanks a lots
I commenced using O-Scopes back in the linear days. Since the inception of the digital age and the availability of sensor units, the O-scope is much more valuable across the board. With the correct supporting programs almost anything can be scoped for diagnostic purposes.
this is the first time and the only time I understood what an oscilloscope does .
thank you very much Alex, you are really easy to understand.. super education material
Excellent, pedagogic, clear..Thanks
We hope you will publish more videos about different uses of this device and thank you in advance.
Really enjoyed your video.
Great 👌 and well explained. You are a great Teacher.
Enjoyed this video. Very informative
great video. very thorough explanation!! thank you.
graet video pico dso one of the best on the market
That was very interesting to watch, specially the correspondance between the various input signals to give a more complete view about what happens!
I as not actually looking for a video about how car works, I was just looking for information about what was specifically different between Automotive Oscilloscopes and other models.
I'm still not 100% certain about the differences, but I guess it's about:
- Specific probe management to do conversions of current into human readable units
- Higher range of input voltage
not quite sure if there's anything else?
Basically what I'm wondering is if a bench oscilloscope can be used on a car, and if an automotive oscilloscope can be used to do electronic, computer and audio-video repair/diagnostics.
And yes, great video :)
Very good information,helpful thanks
Excellent explanation
Very good explanation!!!
So well explained. And very watchable. Makes me wish I was a mechanic!
im ok12 I love a good puzzle problem. I bought a autel mk908 and their 4 channel oscilloscope. About 2500 total but it will more than pay for itself with time
Really like you video mate, cracking job really well done 👍
awesome video,got 4 ch on my verus edge,only used for volts,like volt meter,now just orderd a amp clamp,and better understand how to use it ,show 4 channels too,see whats happening ,live ,voltage over time was the game changer for me ,as a volt meter ,numbers just change ,not show much,i tried my scope on crank sensor ,and abs wheel senser,spin engine over and spin wheel,watch the volts change over time ,prove sensor ok,learnt back probe too,slide pins in ,your good teacher,with a lot passion for this subject,so teach well,explain new concepts,if they ever release ufo tech,they have to let you do a video on it ,how it levitates ,and moves ,you be good at it
Great video, well explained.
Great video super easy to understand...
Hey Alex, great stuff going on here. Keep up!
Would be really keen on something about mild hybrid systems and how an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) system works. Maybe Suzuki or Bosch could lend you one of their engines/mild hybrid systems. Many new cars are coming up with those systems and the open market technicians are absolutely unaware of the builds.
TIA
Awesome stuff. I might need to get one of these. Thanks man
Thanks awesome lesson you are the best one sir.
wow ... well clear. Thanks and keep it up ...
