Which Oscilloscope is better!! Pico 4425, ATS EscopeElite, Snap on Zeus + testing ABS sensor BMW

[@jessemackenzie6516]

the reason it looked like hash was because it was zoomed in . With all the channels off it will zoom into the one channel. If you look you will see the signal was the same. It showed 0 to 12 volts because it scaled the unused channels into the capture. if all your signals were within one volt of each other you would have a small Y axis thus zooming into the waveforms to the point the hash was very noticeable.

Excellent comment. Thank you

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics Thank you. Love your ECM videos. Not many people skilled enough to do board level ECM repair. That skill will only become more and more valuable the way the industry is going.

[@ssautomotiverepair673]

The ATS scopes share 1MS/s with all channels enabled, whether they are used, or not. You have the scope set to use 4 enabled channels. Set the scope for a single channel and increase the sample rate by 4X.

[@ecurepair]

Pico scopes are great. Took a bit to get used to pico7 software from 6 but once you do its great.

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Great video, Thanks! I really enjoy this type of comparison videos.

[@martijn8337]

Nicest way to measure this sensor is to measure it against battery positive ( if signal is in the feedwire) but not every scope has differential inputs so be careful with that. I use Tiepie gmto scope and that is fully differential 👌. Best automotive scope there is!

[@carloserazo1286]

Thanks brother I wasn't sure which to upgrade to, the video really helped

[@weldingjunkie]

On the ATS you click process data smooth and it’ll take all that Hash it’s a filter just like Pico. Great review my friend

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Hi J, I did use the smooth feature, then I remmber you need to save the data before doing that, because is no going back!!

[@AM-ju9rl]

Its great to be able to use multiple tools for a single component/system and really get muscle memory on the capabilities. It may be one or the most important but hardest things to do with the daily pace in this industry. Well done!

[@vickenkaragozian2041]

If you want to buy a snap on, just buy the scanner by itself, that way you save money and buy ATS scope or Pico. With snap on you cannot measure the valve opening or closing degrees like ATS or Pico. I have the Escope elite 4 channel & i love it. I bought the pico 4425A and i used it 3 times & i sold it. i couldn't take it anymore, too much functions and hard to understand. Escope elite 4 is much easier & still fast and it does a lot of stuff that Pico cannot do. Its up to the technician what they want to get.

I thought it was very bad form to peirce wiring. Especially wires outside and exposed to water. Like in the wheel well. Great video. Appreciate it.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

It is really bad if you don't seal it with liquid tape. But if done correctly no problem.

[@garryr]

I got burned chasing a crank sensor issue because the zues buffer was too small. Currently planning on getting a pico.

Hola primo le saluda el pinolero de nuevo . Agradezco a Dios que ahora tenga más equipos y mayor presentación. Una pregunta los dos Ats y pico ocupan una lap top me gusta el Ats pero que tipo de lap top ocupo si me ayuda con eso le agradezco primo . Dios que continué bendiciéndole a usted y su familia

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Una lap top con un procesador de no menos de 2ghz y mínimo 8 gb de RAM

Por último cuál es más facilito de aprender a usar el pico o Ats siendo que no soy muy tech ósea no se nada 😂 Muchísimas gracias primo y feliz año para usted y su familia.

I HATE snap on’s way of capturing zoomed in and only being able to zoom out after. It just feels completely backwards and it’s the main reason I reach for the Pico more times than not.

[@dmvmechanic3741]

Not sure why they haven't changed this approach, they didn't change it on the Zeus either. Zoom feature is completely backwards

[@mikedavidson2117]

😮Hi I have a mic sig sato 1004 I do get that model in sometimes I will try it and see if it works the Pico is a 10 though but the mic sig is a strong 8-81/2 my favorite 4channel tablet oscilloscope

[@donwasse7892]

You may want to try the Zues in 4-channel lab scope mode rather than the DC Volt mode. You get the full capability of the scope only when in the lab scope mode, at least in my experience. I've had no issue with buffer size or sample resolution. It also has a filter which can be useful. I would like to use the Pico and ATS, but my shop only has the Zues.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

I did use it in the 4 channel Lab scope mode. I there I selected DC voltage just as a preset! All those are presets but it is on full Lab scope mode!

[@Arphand]

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics Might just be a language thing but ATS is extremely high resolution (16 bit), just with low sample rates (1MS/s max). To get the most out of a small signal like that, change the channel settings from 500v to 20v, and just use the first channel. Any time you're looking for signal quality, make sure to drop to the 20v setting. Give it a shot!

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

@@Arphand thank you so much for the advice. I will next time. I was watching one of Bernie’s videos and he did recommend the same.

[@bernardaflores1720]

Just like any other equipment, there is not a perfect equipment for everything. Reminds me of what you saw w/ TopDon in one of your videos.

When you use piercing probes, how do you deal with sealing the wire afterwards?

[@GL0697]

Can use clear finger nail polish or liquid electrical tape.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

I use liquid electrical tape. www.amazon.com/Star-brite-Liquid-Electrical-Tape/dp/B0000AXNOD/ref=asc_df_B0000AXNOD/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312131680281&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11550273433847261858&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007585&hvtargid=pla-574384539732&psc=1

[@crasher88]

snap one does not play well with European vehicles they never have probably never will. I don't won't on BMWs or Volvos so I'm not too worried about it. Could you explain a little bit about how that particular WSS works? I have never had to AC couple my scope to look at a WSS so I'm a little confused as to what you are showing.

[@Jpilgrim30]

Some of the digital wheel speed sensors put out a very small signal riding on top of the voltage. Ac coupling is the only way you’re going to see the signal as the change in voltage is that small. Took me a second to figure it out the first time I ran across one. I had to go to a known good wheel on the truck and play with settings to find it.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Excellent response! Thank you!!

[@crasher88]

@@Jpilgrim30 I'll have to remember that thank you

[@martijn8337]

Measure it against battery positive will give you a cleaner and beter signal, because ac coupling it can show you the signal but no absolute values. Be sure your scope can handeling “ measure against bat +” If you know how the circuit works it is easy to understand
