DSO Nano compared to Textronix 465.

In conclusion, the nano is perfect for most hobbyist projects, especially audio circuits. Once you get above about 50 kHz, usability begins to drop. The "proper" oscilloscope is good for all this and more, at increased cost

[CHIBA280CRV]

Hello,and thanks for your video i subscribed..I wanted to know is that the four channel nano? and is it capable to be used to check the sensors on my vehicle , for example coolant temp,throttle position,oxygen,and other sensors and actuators..also the fuel injectors and fuel pump..i see techs using expensive automobile diagnostic equip. like snap on modis"but if i can attach it to a sensor and see what wave i get and match to a good known one,i can see it works correctly.Please help the newbie J

@CHIBA280CRV You are thinking of the DSO Quad. Not completely sure if it will work for what you want to do, but probably will.

@CHIBA280CRV Most sensors don't produce a wave, except for hall effect sensors, like cam and crank position, wheel speed and vehicle speed sensors. Throttle position sensors and temperature sensors just change resistance, oxygen sensors produce a voltage, so those can be tested with a standard multimeter. Now if you're playing deep into the computer systems of a modern car, like debugging CAN bus stuff, a really good digital oscilloscope will come in handy.

That affect of seeing the waveform change to a lower frequency due to insufficient sampling rate is called Aliasing. It's the same reason that wagon wheels appear to be rotating backwards in the old Western movies.
