ProScan Help - Oscilloscope

Oscilloscope

The Oscilloscope is a very flexible tool that allows you to plot up to four sensors in real-time.

  1. Establish a connection with a vehicle.
  2. Select the Oscilloscope tool from the tool selection combobox.
  3. In the Setup group, place a checkmark beside each sensor that you wish to configure and plot.
  4. Next you will need to configure each of the sensors you just checked by selecting the sensor to plot, units to use, and the type of chart to generate (Line, Bar, or Dot).
  5. Once you have configured the sensors to plot, you will need to specify how long of a history to maintain. All of the charts will use the same history value. The default is 30 seconds.
  6. Click the Start button to begin plotting the configured sensors in real-time.

You may click the Stop button at any time to freeze the charts, or change sensor configurations.

NOTE: The speed of most OBD-II connections is relatively slow. Therefore, you should keep in mind that the more sensors you select to monitor simultaneously, the slower the refresh rate will be. You can attempt to improve the refresh rate by specifying a shorter timeout value for the ELM microcontroller under ProScan Preferences.
