7:06 Those are two things you can use to calibrate the scope and/or check the integrity of the probes you are using. The little metal square on the left is a signal generator that produces a 1khz 2V peak-to-peak square wave. You can connect you probe to it and make sure the signal you're seeing measures as a perfect square wave at the correct frequency and voltage. The other little metal square beside it with the ground symbol pointing at it is indeed a ground point.
hi , thank s for your demonstration , i have topdon phoenix plus and it does work with thinktool scope , the screen icons are just set up differently , i look forward to some more videos on this scope , thanks
Oh that's really good to know. I never would have thought that. One thing I do know is that they Thinktool scope is about $1100 where is the Topdon used to be about $500-550 now they have moved the price up to $900! I got lucky! But I hope you'll find my videos enjoyed by playing to make some more. So stay tuned and thanks a lot.
Awesome, i will be looking forward to your future videos on this subject. Im about to buy the Phoenix plus selling my XTOOL D8 i need more capability, although i like the D8. Thanks
No problem, I also have a few other videos with the Picoscope if you want to check my video history. Just the D8 or the Phoenix Plus are both great tools. You'll be happy either route.
Depends. It not quite as easy to get started with as you would with a Picoscope for two main reasons - the software is not as intuitive and there are not a lot of videos on this scope software out there. There are a few good videos including mine and i can send you links if you want. With that said, if you are patient and willing to learn, yes you can use this as your first scope.
To step scale down the voltage, since voltage spikes from some components can exceed the threshold of the scope and damage it, such as with fuel injectors for example.
Looks crowded. A real world technician isn’t going to have 2 bulky boxes under the hood ratcheted together with a usb cable. If it was wireless like autel it’d be game changing
Yeah I agree it's not a good first scope and it is a bit cumbersome to use. Like anything else. If you get used to it it can work out. But again I do totally agree with what you said. I actually have a uScope and I'll be making some videos with that soon.
What? Ever used a picoscope? Wires galore. I have an 8 channel scope set up on a diagnostic cart I roll around the shop.🤷♂️part of modern day shop life.
@@LynxStarAutohe’s clueless he doesn’t use a scope apparently. He thinks one usb cable makes it cumbersome. The Autel has cables as well and the Obd wire to the Autel makes it not so wireless anyway

Thanks for taking the time to make this. I have the same setup and trying to learn it. Looking forward to your future videos.
I got you covered!

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me! Great info! I'll give that signal generator a whirl!

Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Looks very difficult to work with........thank you for your time. Very informative
I gotta be honest, this scope is very hard to get started with. But like anything, once you get the hang of it it gets easier to work with.
Great video bro
Glad you enjoyed!

The picoscope is that a standalone system?
Thanks.
No not really but it's PC based so that means you don't have to use it with a specific scan tool.
Okay
Thinkcar and topdon doing research together
They are all based off of Launch, even Kingbolen and Mucar, and perhaps a few others out there.
@@oneanddonediy Mucar is part of thinkcar company
@@josiahcharlemagne4961 I know.
Why would you put a link in the description for the scope why do u have a link for hantek? It's stupid
How hard is to scope I’m a beginner would like any advice that u have to share thank u

can I ask where can you find the waveform that you save?
Go to 19:15 in the video.
What the intuators used for
To step scale down the voltage, since voltage spikes from some components can exceed the threshold of the scope and damage it, such as with fuel injectors for example.
Will this scope work on other scanner and can a hantek scope work on a topdon or launch x431
I didn't think you can do either of those.
Does it have signal generator?
No it doesn't.
My thoughts also

FYI that’s all scope 😂
Welding junkie all I said was they need to do what autel had done. Apparently that makes me clueless?? I’ve used scopes when you were shitting green
