How to choose an automotive oscilloscope?

Image
 Most automotive maintenance personnel have not used oscilloscopes and are accustomed to using multimeters to detect car faults. They are unfamiliar with the functions of oscilloscopes and consider them mysterious. In the following, the author introduces some main performance parameters of oscilloscopes to unveil its mysteries. Why use an oscilloscope for car repairs? The refresh rate of a digital multimeter is usually around 2 times per second (some high-end ones can reach 4 times per second). When measuring a signal voltage with it, the displayed reading on the screen is not the actual voltage but an average voltage due to the slower refresh rate. For example, when measuring the voltage of a "Variable Valve Timing Solenoid Circuit" with a multimeter, the voltage is around 8.7V. Is this the actual voltage? Explanation: The red line is the power supply line, and the engine control unit controls the blue line (control line). Using an oscilloscope reveals that ...
