Automotive Lab Scope Basics | Understanding the uScope
In this video, we walk through the fundamentals of using a lab scope (automotive oscilloscope) — what it does, how it works, and why it’s one of the most powerful diagnostic tools you can own.
Using a signal generator, I demonstrate how to set up the scope, adjust the time base, voltage scale, trigger, and other key settings to properly display signals. Then I showcase the uScope, a compact handheld oscilloscope designed specifically for automotive diagnostics.
You’ll see how to use the uScope for testing sensors, ignition signals, injectors, and more — and why it’s such a valuable tool for quick and mobile waveform analysis in the shop or on the road.
TOPICS COVERED
What an automotive oscilloscope (lab scope) actually does
Understanding signal waveforms (AC vs DC, amplitude, frequency)
How to connect and interpret a signal generator
Adjusting scope settings for clear waveform capture
Overview and setup of the AESwave uScope
Advantages of a compact 1-channel scope in real diagnostics
