Automotive Oscilloscopes and Waveform Analysis The rapid growth of technology used in cars has highlighted the need for a piece of diagnostic equipment that will give you X-Ray Vision, and show you the heartbeat of a vehicles electrical and electronic system. An OBD scan tool is vital for modern vehicle diagnostics; however, trouble codes will only take you so far. The problem can arise when the phrase 'fault code' is used in connection with diagnosis. A code will rarely point you directly to the root cause of a vehicle fault, but can help focus your diagnosis on a specific area and run functional tests. It is the oscilloscope (or scope) that can truly test the operation and health of a system component. An important thing to remember about oscilloscopes, is that they should be easy to set- up and use; otherwise they'll be passed over for a more familiar tool within your comfort zone. Remember that nothing ever happens within your comfort zone. There is a great deal of misconception about how difficult a scope can be to set-up, and once you are used to your own equipment, if it is laid out and ready to use, it will soon become your diagnostic tool of choice. This book has been written to help you get the most from your oscilloscope, and has been designed to give straightforward and uncomplicated methods that can be used effectively for automotive diagnosis. It covers many of the most common automotive waveforms, assisting you in the analysis of the patterns produced, without restricting you to rigid equipment settings, or vehicle system design. This gives you the 'scope' to develop your systematic diagnostic routines, with the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. The chapters will introduce you to electrical principles, the set-up and use of oscilloscopes and waveform interpretation; including key terms, points of interest and diagnostic tips to support the information provided within the text. Review: 1000% recommended. - Excellent book for anybody looking to upgrade their understanding on waveform analysis and be more precise on their electrical diagnosis. Review: Books - This book has good waveform analysis, as it says, does not give information on where to probe on sensors. However it does give breakdown on different parts of waveform and their meanings. This extra knowledge is good for diagnosis on automotive sensors.

Nice book
It gives good information on known good waveforms. I also like the fact that it explains why the waveforms behave as they do.

I am an automotive student at a community college. Our class doesn't start to study scan tools and lab scopes till next year during our engine performance year of the program. Being eager to learn I wanted to start studying on now to prepare for next year. if u need to learn the basics of oscilloscopes this is an amazing book. very good reference to known good wave forms. Which it went more in depth with bad wave forms but it literally covers every sensor, actuator or solenoid out there

High school shop class refresher
I like this book. A lot of this I learned in shop class in high school. That was forty years ago, so an electric shop refresher is never a bad thing. Part of repairing electric or electronic sustems is understanding how they work. While this book does not tell you how to repair, it does give you basic system function which is key to diagnosing and repairing. Learning the nuances of waveforms takes time and seeing many examples to recognize a "known good." But without an understanding of the part, system, and how they function together, it won't matter if you don't understand what it is you are looking at or looking for

Great book
Very well written books with a lot of detailed information but not overwhelming. Lots of good illustrations which make it easy to see what you're looking for when viewing waveforms. Information seems up-to-date and applicable to modern vehicles. I would definitely recommend this book for someone who wants to learn more about Automotive oscilloscope use.

If you are new to scoping this is a must have.
This will not show you how to hook up a scope or even how to set it up. It will give you KNOWN GOODS which are invaluable. If you are new to scoping this book teaches you what a good waveform should look like and why they look the way they do. From there on you can identify which circuits and waveforms look off from what you’ve learned as a known good.

One for the library for sure.
Excellent book. Talks about different components and what good waveforms should look like as well as why they look the way they do. It also provides possible causes of non-conforming waveforms and what you’ll need to test them. It’s a great book for beginners. If you want to get maximum benefit from this book get under the hood and start scoping out stuff as you read.
