Hi All
I have been giving some thought to buying myself an automotive oscilloscope. I already have a good quality multimeter but there are times when I prefer to see waveforms for diagnostic purposes, for example, the output from engine sensors.
Do any members own or have used such a tool and have they found a particular make and model particularly useful? I had my sights set on a nice Fluke 97 Scopemeter but lost the auction. However, I haven't given up looking.
Whilst I would prefer a self-contained tool with inbuilt screen, I am not opposed to considering an external waveform capture module that feeds the waveforms information to a PC, via USB, for display purposes. Whichever is best.
For budgetary purposes I am setting a limit of GBP200.00 so that some secondhand tools will fall within my range.
REGARDS
