Oscilloscope Advice? Hey,
I need a good all-around oscilloscope to read sensor outputs, ECU commands, etc. I have seen some USB-PC based ones but have never used them. If anyone could give me some advice on what I need/what a good unit would be, that would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
Note: Trying to stay at/under $350 if possible. Again, don’t need a huge lab grade thing.

Hard to beat Pico scope.

These are not automotive based O-scopes so you will have to have enough knowledge of o-scopes to be able to set one up. Amplitude, time base, triggering are you basics. You'll need to understand all of that to be able to set any of these up.
