Don't Be Fooled! Crankshaft Sensor vs Oscilloscope
25,494
Published 2024-05-17
Testing crankshaft sensor with an oscilloscope should be easy! However, don't let this catch you out when testing with the PicoScope 2204A or Hantek 1008C! In this video we look at how the low sample rate and memory of these oscilloscope can catch you out during automotive oscilloscope diagnostics!

Very interesting for me, thanks for the contributions.
-
Excellent video , thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers
-
Good information about sample rate and memory on the oscilloscopes!
-
Appreciate the video D. Solid information
-
Thank you for the video, I would be happy if you have a video that explains how to detect improper timing, thank you
-
Brilliant video as always.
-
Another great video at usual. Want to thank you for helping me get into oscilloscopes!
-
Always learn A lot watching you work 🇺🇸👍💪 great thanks
-
Yesterday I was able to see what's happening on my Can Bus ,thanks to the content.
-
Great video! I had the same issue trying to get cam/crank patterns on my Hantek1008. Definitely challenging and frustrating at times. Upgraded to a Pico recently. But I would have loved to see this video a while back. I didn't realize why I was seeing all the triangles. And could never get a clear pattern of a complete 720 on one screen. Thanks for sharing and I am sure this video will help others as well!

Great video Darren, well explained. Keep up the good work!
-
hello , thank for video
-
Cool Darren, worth knowing this.
-
Appreciate the levels you go to to squeeze out the best info from entry level scopes. To be honest, I never knew how significant the benefits were when spending more on oscilloscopes! Now starting to save for upgrade 👍

شكرا على الفيديوهات والدروس انا احتاج الى اسيليسكوب مارايك في HS502
-
Great video as usual. I must try this with my Hantek 1008C and HSCOPE.

Excellent content on oscilloscopes. I really like the HS02 oscilloscope it has 12 bit capabilities and has 8000 samples per second and the software is so user friendly. It also works with Android tablets. This micro-oscilloscope comes in at $100. My favorite low cost.oscilliscope is the Analog Discovery 3 by Diligent. Its.a.small powerhouse at 125 MiSA per channel and 32000 samples per second at 14 bit resolution and the software called waveforms is the best software out there and competes with Pico Automotive. With Academic pricing you get for $200 and the software has automotive features. This is the best 2 channel scope for the price.

Have you used the can bus decoder on the Pico scope for diagnostic purposes? Thank you in advance for your answer.
-
I Love these videos 🌷 Thanks for making them 🙃 I do own & use a 2205A 😁
-
I love MM!!! Thanks for making automotive scope vids!!! Love from California!! EDIT: it seems the 4425A is discontinued (not listed for sale on the pico web site). What scope has replaced it?
