I have the same modis for 7 years now going for the 1st with a picoscope, the modis was for me a great tool that help me to step up my skills , and scanner danner videos help to.
I am really enjoying the Modis and was pretty happy it was in such nice shape for it's age. Harder to get accustomed to a new platform if you are dealing with worn out second hand stuff. Pico is appealing and truly is the best for libraries and definition. I wasn't ready for that kind of financial commitment at the time, but someday lol. On the Modis, did you ever use the raster ignition display option? I saw Danner one time show it . Haven't had a chance yet to try it out but it's one of the many things I find interesting about snap on, also the parade is sweet
@@Backalleydiagnostics I only have used the single secundary, its a world of información, only i have explore like 70 % and i quiestion wy i dident geted sooner like 20 years ago wend i got mi Solus or even a 2 chanel one now im not wiling to let time pass with out such a thechnical advantage, greatings from Tijuana, México, sorry for mi poor english
@BlainesGarage The Modis spent most of its life in a closet from what I understand, the scope leads still had the plastic pieces in the end and never uncoiled. Guy traded me for a hf fluid extractor. Surprisingly, lol. I had a list of items I offered, including a dewalt jobsite table saw still in the box, Hitachi laser compound sliding miter saw, and slew of automotive tools. Different strokes huh? I've always been a supporter of the trade, but feel like I made out extra this time lol. I loved the monitor output, but the oddest thing occurred. I left the modis and monitor plugged in with the vga cable. One day I hit the modis power button and nothing. Not even the green light showing power. When I turned on the monitor, the green light on the modis would come on but not start. Unplug the monitor and no green light on the modis. Turned out the fuse slid out on just 1 leg. I put a new one in and the modis works fine again, but no vga output. Tried a different cable and monitor just for the hell of it but no vga. Must have back fed through the board or something. Vga usually comes from the board itself, I wish it had a little graphic card I could swap inside. I do love the guided tests and the ignition scope/accessories, plus the live data!
@ I’d say you got the better deal, but that is sad that the VGA no longer works. Mine is practically useless without it. The screen is dim and full of horizontal lines. I’m glad to have the 502 Hscope. Have you tried using using a usb mouse with the snap-on? It makes things a little quicker.
@BlainesGarage yes , I have used the mouse. That is a great feature. My first error after finding the first really interesting waveform on it was to zoom as far out as i could before saving it. Learning curve with everything I guess. I really did like it on the monitor, possibly see if any computer board repair shops want to take a shot at it.
Appreciate the HScope demo's and tutorials!
Just got my hs502 and found a bad valve in less than 10 min. Best scope and software I've ever used!
@NEMOJA That's awesome! As user-friendly and as usable overall, I wonder why these were not among the first scopes I found. Good to hear!

Good stuff. That Modis looks brand new. The screen on mine is so dim, and the case is beat up and crusty, but it still works fine on a monitor.
