Absolutely brilliant video which really does bring home to the older generation of mechanic who previously only used a multimeter just how vitally important a good oscilloscope is for diagnostics. Even on older vehicles it is clear from watching this video that oscilloscopes have tremendous potential for diagnosing intermittent faults. I am thankful these scopes are getting cheaper which makes them more accessible to ordinary mechanics. Keep these scope videos coming. It is far better to see a mechanic demonstrating their practical use under real workshop conditions before watching some of these other TH-cam videos and getting blinded by science.
A proper scope with a DIY price. I like it. My Hantek was only$100 but it doesn't do have the things that scope does. Plus the cable leads are so short they are almost useless. Thanks for the demo Leon.
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have indeed purchased right now, one of the Ditex scopes (I went for the plus or pro whatever, it was a nicer colour) and I was looking mostly how it held up against obviously a pico. I do like the fact you pinned the comment about the Autel. I believe Autel use a version of the Hantek interface that you can buy for £70 and then their on board tablet "app" with it's notable quirks. I have an Autel - good tool if you stay within it's strengths. But wait until the touch screen or power button common problems occur (Look for Joe's words of advice on that) And as an end note, every work shop I have ever known that is in demand and stacked out with work, is "messy" . I would say you are doing just fine. Thanks again for taking the time to put out your video
It's all about interaction with the software as well... this looks less complicated to use than something like the Pico, where there are way too many buttons, options, drop-down menus etc. Even gets me all confused. That's the main reason I have not yet upgraded from my Snap-On scopes... I need / like simple and this looks like it is.
A nice addition to the kit would be some colored (oops coloured) plastic rings that would affix to each scope probe. That way each probe would be matched to the channel color. When you're using multiple probes and switching them around to various test points; you always end up tracing the cable back to the scope.... which of course is facing away from you. Just my 2 cents. (or tape of different colors)
Hello question, I need to know if the Carscope Plus Oscilloscope is suitable for the Can network signal due to the bandwidth that it has very low of 2 mhz?
A lot of modern laptops don't have LAN ports however USB to Ethernet converters are cheap and automatically install under Windows 10. The Amazon Basics ranges has a good USB to LAN dongle at a decent price.
Most people's laptops especially when they are in a workshop environment will have a LAN cable any tough but got anything like that does so I don't think we'll have to worry about that
hi mate like I explained in the video when I'm doing this this all the information is in the video links you can contact them direct and they will sell it to you for that price tell them I sent you
Its zooming capabilities and its data recording length time is the most important thing, if you can only record 20 seconds of deep recording data then it is not worth much
This would do about 85% of the work no problem at all this is a beginner's scope and will be perfect for anybody who is trying to get into the field or needs a scope to test most things even my pico over £5,000 still has its limitations this is a very very cheap and brilliant scope for the price of it you cannot complain if you are doing more advanced stuff then you will have a more advanced scope
My 5000 pico scope on full will not record for this long give me one example where you would need this recording in an automotive environment if you are monitoring a car and it does something strange you can pause the scope look back on the frames and see exactly what's going on so you do not need to do what you are saying in the automotive field
I'm not seeing the Car Scope LAN available in the U.S. autoscopeology.com There are other models, but the price jumps significantly. Where can I get one?
I can't find a price now,or supplier of this scope anywhere?I did have the ditex carscope viso which was too small,and the battery life was horrific(uses battery when off seemingly)but,a huge amount was crammed into the little carscope viso,if the screen had been three or four inches larger and a really good battery,and a four channel they would have flown off the shelves!
Hi mate unfortunately I don't know I've never used the more expensive model if you contact them tell them I sent you and they will tell you exactly what the difference is between them
Nice demo Leon 👍... I don’t know much about the wiggly lines but thinking about it getting a scope soon, would you go for Ditex 4ch or pico 2ch? Cheers
Thank you for this video, I have been watching for a while for this scope but this is the first video of it. I hope that you will show in a video no. 2 what are capabilities of this scope. If you can try 2-3 channels in the same time and current clamp 🤗
Great video my friend. That looks like ignition coil secondary. I have the picoscope 4425 but I am looking to buy this for road testing. 1. Can you tell me will a lan to USB adapter work? My surface has no lan. 2. Do the green bumpers come standard? I didn’t see them on it on the product page only the pro?
Hi mate I haven't got a clue you can contact them in the links I've left in my video description they will tell you I don't use that laptop or that so I cannot tell you but they will be able to tell you
Dang, seriously considering buying one, but its 1054 us dollars(944 euros)from the us Distribitor. So much for thinking it would be just under 300 us dollars.. :(

Looks like an interesting alternative!
Yes mate the price is certainly going to impress a lot of people just like the scope
You are so polite Dan. lol

Yes mate for the price of this one you certainly can't complain lots more videos to come on it to see what this bad boy can do

Hi can you add custom probes for pressure transducers?

Yes mate simpler the better lots more videos to come you'll see just how nice and easy is to use
dude...found your channel like 5mins ago, so i havent even watched a full video yet....but you gotta new sub!...gotta watch your older videos as well
Thanks a lot mate hope you enjoy the rest of the videos
Cheers Leon, Just what I need to learn with

Hi mate that's a really good idea but in future videos you will see I have a solution for this

We’re can you buy this scope
Hi mate the links in the description contact them on Facebook send them a message tell them I sent you they will look after you
@@bodgitandleggitgarageIt does look, at least on the internet, like they're out of business already.
So i would not try to buy it at facebook either.
where did you buy it for 230 euros? i cant find that price anywhere? Thanks

@@bodgitandleggitgarage what is the maximum amount of time it can record?
@@sargetester99 all depends on what you are doing what you are scoping what time base you put it on depends on a lot

Like I said in the video all the links are in the video description
Looks like a great starter kit.
Yes mate 100% you can learn all the fundamentals on this
Can't find one of these for love nor money now 😞
Great Stuff Leon, thanks for that, cant wait to see the other videos on this scope, keep up the great work you do for us all. Kindest regards Jay
Thanks a lot mate yes lots more video to come up with this bad boy
Which amp clamp will you recommend? Look forward to more videos, thanks
hi mate vid coming soon mate
Hey can we scope can bus with this scope
more video to some we will see
Same question here.
I've got a scope but I'm still a novist. Is that primary ignition Leon .
Lots more to come on this video series hopefully it will show people a lot more about scopes and waveforms
Which amp clamp will you recommend and what will you recommend to buy together with the scope?
hi mate vid coming soon mate
How much more function does the more expensive "PLUS" model provide?
Hi mate unfortunately I don't know I've never used the more expensive model if you contact them tell them I sent you and they will tell you exactly what the difference is between them
Nice demo Leon 👍... I don’t know much about the wiggly lines but thinking about it getting a scope soon, would you go for Ditex 4ch or pico 2ch? Cheers
That's easy mate 4 channel scope all day long
bodgit and leggit garage cheers mate 👍
any time mate
Thank you for this video, I have been watching for a while for this scope but this is the first video of it. I hope that you will show in a video no. 2 what are capabilities of this scope. If you can try 2-3 channels in the same time and current clamp 🤗
I'm going to be doing lots of videos on this how to Scope different sensors and how to use it that's what this video series is going to be about
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Thanks Leon looking forward to it
thanks mate
How does it compare to the Hantek or Autel?
Hi mate again unfortunately I cannot say as I haven't used these once so I cannot compare them
Lools like secondary ignition waveform.
All will be revealed soon mate
Where can I buy it for that price?
i said it all the the video mate link in the description
@@bodgitandleggitgarage you mean the link www.autoditex.com/ or I just oversaw something? Thank you very much
@@REBUILDLab Yes, that. And they will not give discounts
Nice! seems like great value.
Yes the price point is unbelievable 4 Channel scope
Great video my friend. That looks like ignition coil secondary. I have the picoscope 4425 but I am looking to buy this for road testing.
1. Can you tell me will a lan to USB adapter work? My surface has no lan.
2. Do the green bumpers come standard? I didn’t see them on it on the product page only the pro?
Hi mate I haven't got a clue you can contact them in the links I've left in my video description they will tell you I don't use that laptop or that so I cannot tell you but they will be able to tell you
you could maybe use a wireless travel router for a WiFi connection to the unit. Depends what LAN transfer speeds it operates at
Nice price for the scope. I've seen lots of wave forms I haven't a clue what that is.
Well hopefully this series will help you out with the way from that's what it's all about
@@bodgitandleggitgarage looking forward to it.
@@d.d4184 thanks mate
Excellent very informative video thank you
Thanks about make lots more to come
Where did you buy it . I was looking at their distributors they want about £460 to £480 plus Shipping
Hi mate like I explained in the video all the links are in the description tell them I sent you and they will look after you contact them on Facebook
Hmmm not bad value, i would say ignition primary at that voltage/duration? 50+ volts
Yes mate the price is Fantastic Four 4 channel scope
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Might have to try one ;) , Cheers Leon
@@seismictuning1881 you won't be disappointed mate cannot beat it for the price

All will be revealed soon thanks for your comment mate
Sorted.

Great vid Leon 👍can't believe the price for 4 channel scope. Looking forward to part 2
Yes mate it is unbelievable certainly cannot complain for the price
@@bodgitandleggitgarage is this scope still worth getting or is a basic 2ch picoscope a better option?
Looks like a nice bit.
Love the shirt mate
Yes mate it's awesome thanks a lot I got it specially made do you also wear the poppy over there is it a thing
bodgit and leggit garage no poppy. I just wave the stars and stripes 😃

Very cool👍
Thanks a lot mate lots more to come on this

Lots more to come on this mate you won't be disappointed if you get one
P.s y thats crazy nice gadget that bit much for me tho still very interesting thank you
The price is awesome mate I haven't seen any think that even matches this even comes close for the price
coil
That's not cheap, hantek oscilloscope 4
Or 5 channel cheaper
it is for what you get the specs on the hantek arent close to this.
