mScope
Low Cost, High Performance Automotive Scope
Description
mScope is system specially designed and tested as a cheap, reliable and easy to use
tool for use primarily by automobile service professionals. It consists of PC program in
combination with the appropriate hardware adapter. Essentially this is a 2channels digital
storage USB oscilloscope.
Using mScope is both fast and easy. Simply select the sensor or ignition circuit to be
tested and the software will automatically load the required settings and give you full details
of how to connect the mScope, along with advice on what the waveform should look like and
general technical information on the component or system being tested.
It is important to note, that an mScope is high efficiency of Automotive Motortester,
also. The mScope is specially designed for automobile test and analysis of ignition systems.
Ignition waveform test function can be used to test the primary and secondary waveforms of
gasoline engine and display them in single cylinder waveform and parade waveform. It can be
used to test ignition systems with or without distributor, and obtain ignition peak voltage,
spark voltage and spark duration (with distributor).
What is typical for this model?
•
Well-designed electronic circuit device to reduce its own noise;
•
There is a built-in Pre-trigger 100% of the currently selected range by time;
•
Record series of the last 200 screens of the current measurement and recorded sequences
may at any time to be open on the screen for review;
•
It allows the user to add own examples to waveforms to database of the program by
recording on only one screen to the base program. The name of the record is set by the
user and can be both Latin and Cyrillic. User entries can be deleted if desired;
•
Built-in program sample waveform and also manuscript made sample records can be
opened in a separate screen and to be compare to working screen current measurement.
•
The program included an extensive database to compare the signals and help system to
work with it.
•
Small size of the oscilloscope makes it suitable for mobile applications where is necessary
to use a laptop.

Typical applications
The main purpose of mScope is universal oscilloscope in voltage, it is a universal tool and it
is not tied to brand or model car. It’s designed with excellent opportunities to test all types of
sensors which are used in modern cars.
mScope is high efficiency of automotive motortester. The mScope is specially designed for
automobile test and analysis of ignition systems. Ignition waveform test function can be used
to test the primary and secondary waveforms of gasoline engine and display them in single
cylinder waveform and parade waveform. It can be used to test ignition systems with or
without distributor, and obtain ignition peak voltage, spark voltage and spark duration (with
distributor).
With additional plug-ins and probes mScope is used to:
•
Visualization and measurement of current in the circuit;
•
Preview the impulse of the absolute pressure;
•
Measurement of the signal in the primary circuit of the ignition;
•
Measurement of the signal in the secondary circuit of the ignition.
It can record the results of all measurements for later analysis or to create a database of typical
faults.

On the used computer mandatory in advance must be installed the following programs:
9 .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable or later – is located on your provided CD. In
Windows Vista and Windows 7, NET Framework is built into the operating system
itself so it doesn’t have to be installed separately.
9 Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or lasted – it is located on your provided CD
