Automotive Oscilloscopes: Setup and Use is a practical, technician‑focused guide that transforms your oscilloscope into a powerful diagnostic tool. You’ll learn clear, hands‑on techniques—like grounding, setting time‑base and amplitude, using the right probes, and capturing accurate waveforms—to quickly identify electrical faults in sensors, ignition systems, actuators, and networks. Rather than overwhelming theory, this book emphasizes “known good” waveforms, realistic vehicle applications, and efficient setup methods so that even complex signals become manageable in a busy shop setting, making this book an essential reference for technicians wanting confidence and precision in scope‑based diagnostics.
