Here is a quick review of the Hantek 1008C oscilloscope.
Very economical and readily available(ebay) for testing signals & sensors at the ECM for dealer level diagnostics.
Not as nice as a Picoscope but affordable for DIY.
Capable of seeing up to 8 signals at once or as little as one if needed.
Can add the optional Hantek current clamps to do more cool stuff like a "relative compression test"(large clamp) or see the current ramps of coils and fuel injectors(small current clamp)
To see some waveforms done on this scope plz see thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...e-ckp-cmp.html

DLC3 pinout for OBD: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...bd-pinout.html
Comes with a nice carying case, the scope unit, qty 8 sets of alligator clips with bnc connectors, and a plug wire clamp for older style cars.
Hooking it up to Windows 10 laptop powers it up and comes with the software.
Main Screen
Vehicle Diagnostics- lots of stuff here I haven't used yet- I only use the oscilloscope
Running in demo mode- when Hantek not hooked up to laptop
Can turn unused channels On & Off as needed and also slide the channels up and down for preferred layout.
Can freeze the screen if needed and take a screen shots too
Can zoom in for finer detail.
Can zoom out to see bigger picture.
Can also change height of any channel independently of other channels to lay out the screen as needed for best visibility.
