Hantek 1008 Fuel Injector Waveform Analysis and Set-up

[@pctuterman1]

Clear, concise and to the point. Too many labcope videos out there are taught by experience people explaining it to inexperience people. They sometimes forget that their audience is trying to learn from them but they skip so many steps in the process. You on the other hand explained everything step-by-step. Especially the setup. Hardly anyone explains this step. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video. I have learned more from you in this one video then I have learned from at least 30 other videos. I am glad to have subscribed to your channel. You are a good instructor.

Wow the details you went into were amazing thank you so much. I've been watching a lot of videos of people using the pico etc but when you start explaining the details about "the electrons backing up creating a voltage spike" I was amazed and impressed. Subscribed

[@Enrique_Osorio]

Thank you very much for your kind words. I hesitated to describe the voltage spike in that manner because it is not a complete description of the cause of the voltage spike but I am glad you found it interesting. Electrons backing up is not completely wrong but it is a little wrong but it is a good way to imagine the inner workings of a circuit with a solenoid in it.

I can't believe how good this video is and how few your followers are. That was perfection of information and layout of the video to deliver an understanding of correct wave form. I'm here checking out if this would be a good tool for my shop. I was told it could be better in resolution, but this actually looks as good as the expensive scope I've seen on Scanner Danner's videos.

[@Enrique_Osorio]

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching!! FYI the Hantek is not as good as the scope Snap-on offers or as good as a Picoscope. I have used a Vantage Pro, a Modis and a Verus and I own a Picoscope and they are orders of magnitude better than a Hantek. I consider the Hantek a test scope, as in a cheap way to enter the oscilloscope world to see if this type of tool is right for you. I spent 10 years of my life as a professional mechanic and I have met people who would benefit very much from an oscilloscope and others who it would be a hindrance to since it requires a special type of thinking.

[@padraiggalvin2807]

Hi Enrique. Im from ireland and im glad i came across this video as im currently deciding on buying a scope. a picoscope or a hantek.

[@sandyande]

explained perfectly, many thanks sandy PS how are u getting on with the picoscope and is it worth the money and do u use the waveform library much?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

The picoscope is everything I have ever dreamed of. I no longer work in the automotive field, at least not full time, so my picoscope use is mostly concentrated in electronics analysis. It is definitely worth the money since I used almost daily in my diagnosis. It still is worth the money since a lot of the testing I do now requires a scope of that caliber. As for the waveform library I did use it occasionally although most of the waveforms I checked were mundane ignition, dc motors, and solenoid waveforms.

[@frugalprepper]

Enrique, I am having trouble seeing the pintle open and close. I can see the current ramp up slow, but then it just seems to change to a strait line and I am not seeing the bump at close. It hard to tell if I am not seeing it because of the noise on the line of if I may have a lazy injector. I guess I will try on some more known good injectors and see what I find, although the car I am playing with runs fine.

[@Enrique_Osorio]

Likely it is there, just lost in the noise. I would be happy to look at a recording if you put a video up and link it in this comment thread. The comment with a link will be automatically blocked but I will override it when I see the video.

[@frugalprepper]

@@Enrique_Osorio Thanks. I recorded a video last night and put it up. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnW0dY1qqZyWmrc

[@Enrique_Osorio]

What I can see from your video is that the pintle movement can be seen in your yellow (voltage) trace but not in your blue (current) trace. Either due to the design of the injector or as you said the injectors may be lazy there is no clear view of pintle movement in the current trace. This would occur if the pintle did not create a strong EM field as it moved either due to the material it is made of or the speed at which the injector moves. The bump on your voltage waveform is pretty small and has a gentle slope. I would check the other injectors and compare to see if there are any differences.

Hola Enrique muy ilustrativo tu video,lo tendras en Español Gracias

[@alexmessina7652]

Enrique, thank you kindly for this instructional video. I enjoy using the Hantek 1008 very much. If I may impose on your time and goodwill, I have 2 questions and I am wondering if you have had the same experience as me with the Hantek. 1. Secondary Ignition Waveforms: single cyl test makes reasonable waveform; with multiple (say 4 cyl using an distributor King Lead) I cannot capture enough detail to be confident of the waveforms ... generally, the spark line seems good ok to show big burn-time differences; but Firing Line seems very incomplete, inconsistent and so hard to draw conclusions, say for example using a snap throttle to ID a lean cylinder. Very hard to see with Hantek? What's your experience?.... I would love to see you do some diagnostic work using sec ig waveform comparisons -- lean cyls, dripping injectors etc. Would you have a go? 2. Multiple channels: say crank+cam+inj+prim ig (i've tried to avoid sec ig when doing multiple waveforms).... I find after about 3 channels the Hantek can sometimes default one of the channels to an gibberish/meaingless waveform ... eg fill up screen with an obviously unrelated high freq square wave pattern, or some similar breakdown of data. I don't know if it is internal cross interference, or some other limitation. However, I have found that if I space out channels ie instead of using sequential channels (1,2,3,4 etc) I try (1,3,6,8) I can get a more stable result ... but this may be just luck because the breakdown does not happen every time when using sequential channels. I'd be very interested to know your experience. Again, thank you so much for you patience and commitment to posting these great instuctional videos. cheers alex

[@Enrique_Osorio]

I have not had trouble using consecutive channels, perhaps the leads were interfering with each other?? As for the different types of secondary ignition waveforms i.e. lean, rich, no spark etc. I am working on that and I hope I can upload something like that soon. Thanks for watching!!

great job with this.im a diy auto hobbiest getting ready to buy my first scope and i have narrowed down to this 1008c or hantek 2c42 handheld,which would you recomend?

[@neverstoplearning382]

Does the website give support and well known waveforms to make sure the diagnostic is correct? Picoscope does that on it's website. For the price this seems to be a great scope. Thanks a lot for your time.

[@Enrique_Osorio]

That would be an emphatic no. As far as I know Hantek provides little to no support once the product is sold. I like Hantek because it is cheap and has at least some functionality for the price. A hantek is for someone who does not mind huge compromise in order to enter the world of scopes for a low price. There are a lot of drawbacks to owning a Hantek, but I can say that it has increased my understanding of electronics and taught me to do more with less. YOUR MILEAGE WILL VARY.

[@neverstoplearning382]

@@Enrique_Osorio thank you very much for your feedback. Maybe I should invest a little more money and go for the picoscope. Take care.

[@Iwhishihadyoutube]

Awesome video! Do you use the Hantek daily? Would you recommend them to an occasional automotive user?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

When I used to work as a mechanic I would use the Hantek almost everyday. Unfortunately it does have limitations. I ended up purchasing a PicoScope which is over $1000 since I wanted greater functionality. Like I tell most people I see the Hantek as an introductory scope that is of low cost and will give you a better idea if a scope is the type of tool that would be a net benefit to you. If you find the that the $70 Hantek is something that improves your ability to diagnose circuits then it is a sure bet that a better scope would have even more of an impact on you. If you are already confident that an oscilloscope is a tool that you would definitely benefit from then I recommend you look into getting a scope that has better software and features.

Hello nice job with the hantek scope your time base on the amp clap is spot on about around 1 amp at idle how ever on the yellow trace it only around 2.5 ms on idle you can see all 4 injectors with at the same time with the amp clamp I'd one injector with volts then use the firing order

It depends on your needs. The Hantek 1008 has more channels but is slower. The 6074BE is faster but less channels. Both are cheap scopes and overall are NOT good. If you need a quality scope I recommend looking at something like a PicoScope. Thank you for your question and thanks for watching!!

Nice job Enrique, I'm a fellow tech and scope jockey myself. Enrique I have heard their are sometimes issues with loading the software for the scope and getting it to work. If so could you tell us what these problems are and how to overcome them? I'm a picoscope user myself and I got mine through Autonerdz. However that 8 channel Hantek scope looks interesting. It is not as powerful as a Pico but just seeing it has 8 channels is impressive. What is the longest screen you can set it too and do you have the capability to zoom in on the capture? Thanks.

[@Enrique_Osorio]

As for loading the software it is a bit of a challenge. I made a video specifically addressing this issue here it is.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l52loHdjf7JsjZI As for the Hantek vs Pico there is no contest. The Hantek is a useful and affordable tool and a great stepping stone to see if an oscilloscope is the right tool for you but it can not do many of the functions that the PICO has. You can not zoom in to a waveform. All you can see is whatever you capture at the time base that you capture it. That is it. Don't get me wrong I used the Hantek for years before I bought my PICO and it has taught me and helped me tremendously. I have a few videos that I am currently preparing that should be out before the end of the week. After that I am going to do a video describing all the shortcomings of the Hantek. If you notice all of my Hantek videos only stress the positive and none of the negatives. This was a calculated move on my part to get people excited about trying something new and different and maybe teach them something in the process. Thank you for your questions and comments I do appreciate it. I will make sure to let you know when I make the Hantek Shortcomings video.

[@DrJCRobles]

Hola enrique, actualmente estoy haciendo pruebas con este osciloscopio por una falla intermitente en mi corolla 95, tengo grabaciones de los oscilogramas, me gustaria saber si puedes ayudarme a interpretarlos, ya que la forma es distinta, ya que en mi caso no aparecen la "pancita" al caer el voltaje pico.

[@joemartines5208]

What type of current are you using to do this measurement a DC or AC I would like to know. Thank you for the wonderful demonstration.

[@Enrique_Osorio]

DC, always DC when testing on cars. The only reason to use AC coupling on any scope is where you want to filter out any DC current. An example maybe a wheel speed sensor or a cam or crank sensor but even then the DC off set is not going to cause any difference in the readings.

PLEASE I HAVE QUESTION , I HAD HENTEK 1008C , I AM STILL NEW ,, ITS CAME WITH PROB WITH CLIP ,,, COULD USE THE PROB THAT CAME WITH IT FOR COILS & INJECTORS ?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

Coils and injectors make voltage spikes above 80 volts. Use an attenuator to protect your Hantek

[@Ottonic6]

At 9:00 it looked like the injector is on for 3.35 ms, to be precise. Lol. And where does it show the voltages of where your cursor is at. I saw you mention off, then 12v, then the spike in voltage, but I didn't see nor did you show where those number were shown. Was it down at the bottom. Are the voltage divisions 5v with 1v increments? So it showed 12v then when the injector turned on it was 5v for 3.35ms before the spike. But can it show the voltage and time of where your cursor is without actually visually counting the divisions and increments? Sorry if I sounded confusing. Thanks!

[@Ottonic6]

Maybe if you click the left mouse button on a certain point on the graph, then it will show the voltage and time for that point. That way you don't have to count the increments, it tells you what they are at the mouse click.. Or there should be a way to set it up to do that. Thanks

[@prospexican]

question, the triger isnt working on my hantek 1008C, do i have to re down load the software?

[@gargoylebrother]

I had a question about your hantek1008. I'm in the market for an affordable automotive oscilloscope. I was curious if you have any issues with yours involving using more than 4 channels at the same time. I don't know a lot about DSO but from what i have heard is that the hantek has issues with multiple inputs specifically sample rate and bandwidth. I was also curious if you have any issues with signal interference and if hantek offers any type of software filters for this or if one would have to look at hardware filters?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

There are no software filters since the it measures at 2.4 MegaSamples per second so noise is not much of an issue. I have not had issues using more than 4 channels. I have had all eight on while checking the secondary ignition on a V8 motor and had no issues. Granted I had a wide screen on it, something like 50 ms division so the spikes were just vertical lines. I have not tried more than 4 channels at a high frequency. Interference is an issue since the leads are crap so I made my own which were a little better. The most important thing is to route your leads appropriately so they are not near any source of interference like the ignition coils, that helps a lot. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any additional questions.

[@pauldorkins5530]

[@Enrique_Osorio]

I bought it in early 2013 and it has served me well. I use it mostly for electronics design since I no longer work on cars professionally and it still works as well as it did when I first purchased it. Its not a bad deal, better than some scopes for the same or higher price.

[@tomctutor]

Great presentation - just subscribed. I notice you are using the Hantec on a windows op.sys tablet. As most tablets are Android just wondered if you know/ have experience of running it on Android which would be very useful for most of us. (ps. I've tried hscope.martinloren software without success). Another question sorry, do you need to use solely the Hantec current clamp or can you use other automotive DC current clamps that have an external output connector?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

I have only ever used it on Windows, but I am not sure how it would be implemented on Android. I do not have any software that will allow me to run it on android. I have heard of OpenHantek which allows you to use a Hantek 6022 with Linux but I have not tried that yet. As for the current clamp, you can use any current clamp you like as long as the output of that current clamp is some type of voltage that corresponds linearly with the current it is measuring. The scaling might be off but you can compensate for that by doing the math in your head. If the scaling is different it will usually be off by some whole power of 10. Thanks for watching and thank you for your questions!!

I know this is late, but hscope makes Android software to work with the Hantek

[@laptopdisassembly9886]

Hi, without probes/dividers what is the maximum input voltage you can measure? Is it 5v?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

Typically 25 volts is my rule. But I believe the official max is 35 volts.

[@Demastrify]

Other than the price whats the difference between the hantek over the picoscope.

Thanks for the video. How the Hantek 1008A oscilloscope worked ? I would like to purchase one, thanks again

[@Enrique_Osorio]

It works pretty well. If you have used other scopes in the past you may find the Hantek a bit slow and lacking in features. If you do purchase one I recommend watching my video on setting up the drivers and the software. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching!!!

Can any brand current clamp be used on the hantek or do you need hantek current clamp? Im asking because I just ordered a hantek scope and a otc low amp clamp.

[@Enrique_Osorio]

Any brand will work but with an important caveat. The Hantek software is programmed to automatically calculate the amperage based on the mV/A (millivolt per Amp) of the clamp itself, so if your current clamp has a different mV/A than the Hantek ones your displayed reading may be an order of magnitude (or several orders of magnitude) off from the correct value. It is important to realize that the function of a current clamp is to convert the reading of current running through its "jaws" to a voltage reading which an oscilloscope can easily read. If you know the conversion of your OTC current clamp you can simply set the voltage scale on your Hantek to a convenient value and just do the math in your head. The math should be as simple as multiplying or dividing by a power of 10 which you can do by moving the decimal point right or left accordingly.

Enrique Osorio thanks for the reply. The otc clamp has the same exact scales as the cc-65 so I'm assuming I can just choose the cc-65 from the drop down box ?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

That is correct!

Enrique Osorio thank you for your detailed vids on the scope, I'm just getting into this part of diagnostics and I'm really excited. Starting off with the hantek, some day I'll upgrade to a Pico. Your vids are perfect at teaching beginners. My channel will start to have more scope action in my future vids! Thank you. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@NiteTrain89]

How many channels max have you used for diag with the hantek?

[@Enrique_Osorio]

For diagnostics 4, for fun all 8 :).

One note. Slide the back probe along the outside edge of the seal. Running it along the wire will cause terminal to open it's grip on the seal.

[@Enrique_Osorio]

Excellent point!! I never thought of that. Thank you for your suggestion and thanks for watching!!

[@robertrocheville7769]

@@Enrique_Osorio I never did until I was told by either one of my instructors or a field engineer.
