Re: scoping MAF-MAP on late diesels

As promised a quick guide to testing these digital MAF sensors. Testing Digital MAF sensors.pdf Any feedback would be welcome either about testing these sensors or other uses for graphing frequency. One question is whether its OK to view the signal for different MAF sensors as frequency vs time or d...

Re: scoping MAF-MAP on late diesels

Matt, Thanks for the post and comments about the spikes. The 0 to 20kHz range is there to allow the scoping of "digital" MAF sensors but its a bit of a work in progress at the moment. The spikes are due to it being very sensitive to noise. We have this sorted in a alpha version of the software but y...

Hi,

As far as I know National Tool Warehouse is not a Pico distributor - is it a Pico 4 channel oscilloscope you are talking about, if not then this is not really the correct forum for this post.
