Waveforms turn “intermittent” into evidence. Capture the fault, save the trace, then decide on parts without shotgun replacement.
Pair the scope with a solid code tool: codes narrow the system; the scope verifies the signal path.
TestScope’s 8-channel USB automotive scope at £158.99 targets that evidence workflow with multi-trace capture and a built-in programmable generator.
Boundary: deep OEM scopes and manufacturer software still win on some proprietary buses—know when to escalate.
