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.

[@oneanddonediy]

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

[@Vedak2011]

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

[@oneanddonediy]

I got you covered!

[@robertmobileman8304]

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

[@oneanddonediy]

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.

[@survivingga]

Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@oneanddonediy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sonsautomotive]

Looks very difficult to work with........thank you for your time. Very informative

[@oneanddonediy]

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.

[@ysitrim88]

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

[@oneanddonediy]

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.

[@ysitrim88]

The picoscope is that a standalone system? Thanks.

[@oneanddonediy]

No not really but it's PC based so that means you don't have to use it with a specific scan tool.

[@ysitrim88]

Okay

[@josiahcharlemagne4961]

Thinkcar and topdon doing research together

[@oneanddonediy]

They are all based off of Launch, even Kingbolen and Mucar, and perhaps a few others out there.

[@josiahcharlemagne4961]

Great video bro

[@oneanddonediy]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@davidche554]

Why would you put a link in the description for the scope why do u have a link for hantek? It's stupid

[@gustavomartinez324]

How hard is to scope I’m a beginner would like any advice that u have to share thank u

[@oneanddonediy]

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.

[@knock904]

What the intuators used for

[@oneanddonediy]

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.

[@kylletech]

can I ask where can you find the waveform that you save?

[@oneanddonediy]

Go to 19:15 in the video.

[@Alanthe918mobilemechanic]

Will this scope work on other scanner and can a hantek scope work on a topdon or launch x431

[@oneanddonediy]

I didn't think you can do either of those.

[@powernosgaragebobiras3107]

Does it have signal generator?

[@oneanddonediy]

No it doesn't.

[@knock904]

My thoughts also

[@philh9238]

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

[@oneanddonediy]

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.

[@LynxStarAuto]

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.

[@weldingjunkie]

@@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

[@weldingjunkie]

FYI that’s all scope 😂

[@philh9238]

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
