An automotive oscilloscope draws the voltage of a sensor or circuit over time, so you can see faults that a scanner cannot show. Automotics supplies the SmartSafe OM201 two-channel scope with multimeter, the Autel MaxiScope MP608 and the Autel MSOAK accessory kit. Use them to check sensors, actuators and wiring.
A scope shows voltage over time. It reveals the shape, noise and timing of signals from sensors, injectors and networks. A scanner reports codes, while a scope shows the signal behind them, which helps when a code points to a circuit rather than to a part.
The SmartSafe OM201 is a portable two-channel oscilloscope with a built-in multimeter. The product page lists 10 MHz bandwidth, 100 MS/s sampling, 1 Mpts memory depth and a multimeter range up to 600 V and 10 A. It suits conventional and electric vehicles.
Two channels let you compare two signals at once, for example a crankshaft and a camshaft sensor. You find the OM201 among our oscilloscope and EV measuring devices.
The Autel MaxiScope MP608 is a professional 4-channel automotive oscilloscope. It works with selected recent Autel MaxiSys, MaxiCOM and MaxiIM tablets and with a Windows PC, so you can use it in the bay or at a desk. Our interface accessories list the MP608 next to other interface add-ons.
The Autel MSOAK is an accessory kit for Autel scope work. It works with the MaxiFlash VCMI module built into the MaxiSys Ultra and MS919, and with the Autel MP408 4-channel oscilloscope. Our multi-diagnose accessories also include a breakout cable for oscilloscope work.
Start with the signals you measure. Two channels suit many sensor checks, and four channels help when you compare several signals at once, such as a crankshaft, a camshaft and an injector. Then decide how the scope fits the rest of your tools.
A standalone portable scope is quick to carry to the car. A scope that works with your diagnostic tablet keeps the same software and screen. See our multi-brand diagnostic tablets for compatible Autel tablets, and ask us if you are unsure.
A scanner finds the system with the fault. A scope then shows whether the sensor, the wiring or the control unit is at fault. Most workshops use both, which saves time on faults that do not set a clear code or that come and go.
Build a small routine. Measure the signal on a car that runs well and save the trace. When a similar car arrives with a fault, compare the two traces, and the difference points to the problem. This turns a scope into part of daily diagnosis.
Keep leads and probes in good condition. A damaged lead adds noise that looks like a fault. Use a breakout cable where possible, so you reach the signal without damaging connectors, and replace worn leads before they cost you a wrong diagnosis.
Safety comes first on electric and hybrid cars. Follow the high-voltage procedure for the vehicle, use leads rated for the measurement and ask a technician with high-voltage training when in doubt.
Whatever kit you choose, keep the manuals and test routines with the tool, so every technician follows the same method on every car.
Yes. A scanner reads codes and data, and a scope shows the signal. They answer different questions.
The SmartSafe OM201 is described for conventional and electric vehicles. Always follow the high-voltage safety rules for the vehicle.
No. Our range includes the SmartSafe OM201, the Autel MaxiScope MP608 and the Autel MSOAK accessory kit.
Two channels cover many checks. Choose four when you compare several signals together.
