Re: Turn the key, engine cranking but doesnt start, sec time it does

If you have access to a WPS pressure transducer and can examine the fuel pressure, intake pulse pressure, and exhaust pulse pressure during both your cranking event and when running, you may be able to identify an anomaly. Steve Smith likely has created videos available on YouTube that might help to...

Re: Upgrade for new Waveform Library support

Is there a primer that effectively might spell out the process for uploading a known-good waveform? I recently made a capture and would like to share it, but having never done this before, I don't know where to start.

Re: NVH- Function Generator

Just a suggestion for engineering... Allow the user to increase the size of the DRO. It is very difficult to see the displayed frequency when at a distance. Let me paint a picture, my laptop and scope are on an adjacent cart and the audio system of the problem vehicle has been connected to this lapt...

Re: Interesting Function on another Scope

Try this article: Motor Age Magazine February 2020 page 24. Bernie Thompson spells out this feature and hints at the math behind it.

Re: Crankshaft Angular Velocity

Yes, my interest is in determining cylinder contribution balance (just intellectual curiosity). At lower engine speeds it could be possible to identify engine misfires. It is the same the way the engine control ECU determines this (I live in Toyota World). Apparently ATS Escope has an application th...

Dual data capture when test driving.

Has anyone successfully collected RPM signal from the DLC for NVH and captured the same drive with software like Toyota's Tech-stream simultaneously.

Crankshaft Angular Velocity

Has anyone successfully used maths (Fourier Transform) to plot crank angular velocity? Convolving it from a discreet portion of a CKP signal trace.
