A flicker of voltage can mean the difference between judging a $5000 ECM good or condemning it.
Now THATS just criminal!Was jumping a d6h to pull in to do a cpt when I was a wrench at the cat dealer why use a screw driver when you have you beloved case knife in you pocketView attachment 283382
im still learning the scope. Used it yesterday to find cylinder with bad compression using amp clamp. Also nice for can buss.That is why I use a scope for things like that. Not even a Fluke is fast enough to capture some of the intermittent voltage issues.
What scope do you use? Sorry if I asked this question before. I have not been able to figure what hand held battery operated scope to get. I still lug around old CRT scopes.That is why I use a scope for things like that. Not even a Fluke is fast enough to capture some of the intermittent voltage issues.

That is why I like the Fluke with bar graph so much. There is a video I refer back to when I have data bus problems that just shows a regular old Fluke providing enough info for the mechanic to know what to do when comms go haywire. This works on CANBUS and I have used it on other similar data methods like RS485.That is why I always grab my Fluke first. My scope is for those really difficult intermittent problems and it is worth the setup time when it helps you solve those mysteries.

I have a Fluke 77 that I bought in 1986 that has been well used and is still going strong
I found this one at a pawn shop
I have seen that video and also use it for reference.
That is what I traded for Fluke 115 about 5 years ago because I wanted the MIN/MAX feature and the ability to read frequency.
LOL. This is what is on my workbench in the basement.
