PDA O-Scopes
I was looking into PDA O-scopes for a few months (I have a scope already, but I don't like to haul my main scope around for install work), and Matco has just come out with one in conjunction with OTC/SPX. Well, I decided to step up to the plate and jumed on a unit for $775 with expandability capability for OBDII diagnosis. I was quite impressed at injector waveform pictures, crank sensors, and ignition primary signals. I then went to some of the more typical pattern failure items, like MAPs and TPS. Unfortunately the scope was far too slow (with regaurd to refresh rate). At 100Ms it refreshed pretty quick, but as you know 100Ms per division, with a 2 division grid isn't worth a damm, so I expanded the time duration to 5000Ms. It took so long to pick up and display a pattern as to render it useless. I was disapointed to say the least. However, I figured with my main scope I didn't need to worry about the PDA for diagnosis, so I did some looking for how to get an AC scope pattern. No go. No AC readings available. Does anyone know of a good PDA Scope or am I just going to have to spend another grand for a smaller floating scope? My main scope is a $3500 unit and it is just not comforting to bring it to an install job, I prefer to leave it locked up in my heavily insured tool box. Any suggestions are welcome. Also, real time display is mor eof what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Seth
