I recently saw a video on the site somewhere showing testing a ride height sensor, buggered if I can find it, anyone know where it is please?

@gstuart I like the look of the Hantek one, cheaper on Amazon

Hiya

did look but did read the cheaper one from China there was an issue changing the language , but that’s only been on a few reviews so alas don’t know how true it is, must admit don’t mind paying the extra from a uk supplier in case anything goes wrong

only downside is having to use a laptop but then fingers crossed shouldn’t need to use it too often, lol
 
One of the reviews say the Hantek has short leads so a longer usb cable may be an advantage. As you say it's not something you would hope to need very aften.
I had 3 scopes in the garage from around 20 years ago, I know I binned one that blew up but I'm gonna have a look if I kept the other 2.

also saw a mention about the leads not being very good, not a deal breaker as can easily buy some better longer ones

Like some of the fluke ones , as I imagine u would only use 2 x leads at a time so at least buy a pair of decent ones to start

will be interesting to see if indeed u can find the x2 u have and what there like

so I see if I’m reading it write the Hantek has roughly 70 x software presets for automotive testing

have also been looking at the automotive handheld ones that have around the same presets and are silly money ,as the handheld ones would be better

did see the ones that are Bluetooth, alas don’t have the automotive presets

do like this Hantek 1008c
 
Didn't look into it much as working from home and getting mithered to death today. I was thinking bluetooth to a tablet would be good if I was seriously considering one.

The Bluetooth ones to seem to demand a higher price, assume as it’s more convenient

am still looking at many others and will of course update if I can one that offers more than the Hantek

also making sure there bi directional
 
Looks like I've binned them. I did find my old Amstrad 640 and this though :D

@gstuart I've just had a play scoping some wave forms and TBH the LM2001 is pretty crap. Not much adjustment on the voltage scale and non on the frequency. Although it does tell you what they are in numbers the visible graph on the screen is too cramped to see a decent waveform.
As a digital multimeter it's fine but as a scope I wouldn't waste your money.

many thks for the heads up, so seems having a wider graph as on a laptop is favourable

thks again
 
@gstuart I think bigger is deffinately better here. The more I look at them the more I get drawn back to the Hantek , even the reviews can't fault it for the money.
If I was in the market for one I think I would just get the Hantek (erm payday next week) :)

indeed think ur right as from what I’m also reading it gives u the scope ( see what I did there, lol ) to see the full signal , ie if u wished to see injector data from a V6 , having that wider screen will help

also keep going back to the Hantek, also like it has the software presets , so basically sets the software up for u

I’m pretty sure I’ll get the Hantek , more than likely in a few months , will then spend some months taking readings from my disco in order I’ve got good baseline data

keep away from ebay, lol
