Course Title: Essential Scope Tests

Course Description: 

This course provides confidence to take the fear and frustration out of using your oscilloscope. Modern vehicles provide us with multiple communication networks, countless sensors, solenoids, and actuators. Not only do we need a way to test the components themselves, but we also need trusted tests to verify the controllers that monitor and actuate these components.

You will learn essential operations of your Oscilloscope, including setup, signal analysis, common waveforms, and tests that can be used on every vehicle you work on. Quick tests for no starts, driveability concerns, communication networks, electric motors, solenoids, actuators, and sensors will also be covered. This course will prepare you to take your scope to the fender and prove failures without the need for intrusive teardown, lost time, and labor.
