They do look rather handy. Then again, as Mrs. KW points out whenever I go glassy eyed over gadgets, I have (counts on fingers) six oscilloscopes already. None of them are exactly portable, though, and thus unsuitable for car use.

But the ability to connect up some signals, drive around for a while logging them and then review what you've captured would be very nice.

The videos on that site are a good source of information. Teach the basics about how the sensors work and what waveforms you are likely to see under a bonnet. Happy to see an Omega starring in the video. Probably the first faulty car he came across.

All were old basket cases that I bought on EBay or at junk sales for pennies and then fixed.

Some poeple can't stand to see an Omega scrapped - so they buy it. I'm the same with electronic junk I guess.

Those ones are rather expensive - and probably over-specced for vehicle diagnostics. I keep meaning to find a cheaper solution.

I saw one card you could plug into the cartridge slot of a "game boy" to turn it into an oscilloscope 8-)

I have a degree in Electronic Engineering and it has been my hobby since before I can remember. I work in software development for mobile phone test systems so a little different, which is OK because I wouldn't be interested in it as a hobby if I did it all day at work.

And I do something completely different, for money. Bet you can’t guess but the Astra driver could have been a subject of enquiries, given a comment he made shortly after Christmas.  ;)
