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.
