Automotive oscilloscope

An automotive oscilloscope is a digital measuring device specialized for


measurements of the vehicle. Various physical and electrical quantities can be
measured with this device. The display of the measured quantity is on the screen in
the form of a signal or a numerical value.

Automotive oscilloscope

Modern automotive oscilloscopes have software support for faster and more
accurate measurements. At the same time, this software provides the user with
benefits such as:
– automatic screen adjustment by selecting the measuring object
– simultaneous recording of several different measured quantities
– instructions for connection and measurement
– signal recording and subsequent inspection
– storing recorded measured values (signals)
– comparison of measured and recorded signals
– generation of adjustable signals
To measure a physical or electrical quantity on a vehicle, it is necessary to connect an
appropriate measuring probe that can measure that quantity and convert it into a
proportional voltage signal. The voltage obtained from the measuring probe is sent
to the oscilloscope for further processing and display on the screen. The displayed
signal or numerical value is in a unit of measured physical or electrical quantity.
