Great minds think alike. Yep, use it often even if not really needed until it becomes muscle memory. Used mine two days ago to bail a coworker out when he reached the end of his rope. He spent half the day using a dvom with no answer but I had the fix in 20 minutes. I vary rarely do circuit resistance tests, almost always connect the scope up. I recommend the aeswave 10' test drive leads, use them all the time. www.aeswave.com/Test-Drive-Test-Leads-for-Snap-on-4-channel-Scopes-p9964.html

Appreciate the feedback! I think this industry is frowned upon at the high school level so it's tough to attract competent labor. Top skilled technicians are in high demand but it takes years of dedication, training, determination & reinvestment to reach the top. That said: You are correct, most mechanics do not own or know how to use a scope.

Thanks man! Scannerdanner is on another level than me. I don't like to micro analyze patterns and get too far off in the weeds. I like to know just enough to get the problem fixed correctly the first time and fast as possible. Your average tech just needs to know the basics and be familiar with his/her scope and they are all set.

Glad you enjoyed it

Just looked up the Apollo D9. See what you are saying now. It doesn't have a scope module. I bought the verus edge specifically for the oscilloscope feature. I almost never use the scanner. I prefer my Autel tablet. Was told Snap-On no longer supports updates on the edge but don't care. As long as the Verus scope keeps working, will take this unit to my retirement. Have a friend that bought a pico but love my verus unit because the scope module is plugged into the back plus it's a compact easy to connect unit.

My pleasure!

Thank you very much!

Awesome! Appreciate that. Been a long time, I should check it out again.

Your welcome. As they say, use it or lose it. Sometimes I will go a couple months before breaking out the scope and it takes a couple minutes to get reacquainted.

Thank You! I heard Snap On no longer supports updates on the edge but don't know if that is true. I'm due for some updates but think I will only do my autel and leave the verus alone. Pretty much just wanted the edge for the four channel and works perfect for my needs. Just did a video a couple weeks back which located my problem in minutes. Would have been extremely difficult without a scope:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMeTd9qe0tXOnWg.html&ab_channel=RainCityWrench

Modis is a nice upgrade and will do almost anything you need. Thanks for the compliment.

You sir are correct. The pintle hump is barely noticeable in my video with the Snap-on. Would come in even better using a picoscope with the higher resolution & sampling rate. I'm by no means am an expert but with that said I decided to put together a quick scope video for a few enquiring subscribers & anyone else interested. Thanks for watching!

You bet. It's really simple, the clamp in this video is measuring current draw from the starter through the battery cable. When the engine is cranking it will take more force to push each piston on its compression stroke so the starter will require more amps to turn the crankshaft over on each compression event. The clamp converts that to digital signal that can be viewed on the scope. To determine what each cylinder is on the chart requires a secondary channel and trigger on one of the ignition coils like cyl#1

Never used the power probe hook. The negative cable stays intact or is it disconnected? The snap on definitely is not the best but does get you in the ballpark.

@@raincitywrench117 you take the negative off just like you would put a multimeter in series to test. The Hook has the option to latch the switch to pass the current and measures as the current passes through it. It’s very accurate, measures milliamps, and has min/max recording. It’s nice because you can leave a charger on the battery and let the hook run indefinitely if you have one of those problem child’s that come on randomly overnight. No spring about clamp batteries or buffer size. I use my scope for a lot of things including in cylinder pressure but I’ve found using the Hook to be so much less of a hassle for drains especially when it’s not something easy to find.

You are welcome! All three tools are full function & have mostly the same capability. The Verus edge is no longer made but it and the Zeus are four channel. The Triton D10 has two channel scope.

Spot On. I turned off updates last year due to security software causing screen glitch. Deleted the last couple security updates & working perfect since. Was told Verus updates end this year but either way their day is limited as far as Snapon is concerned. I saw a guy had a Zeus that was running Windows 7 so looks like that was installed early production on some units? I picked up my Edge for 3500 bucks mainly for the four channel & still happy with it. Hope it keeps going strong for years to come.

It depends on the make and model but yea it will do a cylinder contribution test. If the vehicle is pre 1996 OBDII then no it won't. My last shop has a Sun 500E oscilloscope and that would short individual cylinders. Just had to connect pickup probe to #1 plug wire and primary leads to ignition coil.

Comes installed, just need to pair it with Wi-Fi. This is from Snap-on: SureTrack community membership is currently only provided with the purchase of a Snap-on VERUS or VERDICT scan tool or with a bundle update for those devices. The MODIS Ultra and SOLUS Edge, with Wi-Fi, get SureTrack data inside the scan tool but do not allow the user to interact with the SureTrack community.

My autel touch screen stopped working and snap on scope wouldn't boot up around the same time this spring. I was looking at the pico 4425 & escope elite4. But since I already had all the test leads and amp clamps the snap-on verus edge solved both my scanner and scope needs. I may just bundle everything up on ebay someday but for now everything is working fine. What scope do you have?

@@raincitywrench117 I use a old handheld fluke 123. Its a bare bone basic industrial 2 channel oscope @ 20MHz

Will be tough for me to answer without holding the unit in my hand but I would start off by reviewing the user manual chapter 5 & 6 to see if it's a pairing issue and then trying OBD direct mode. As for the scope issue, you should see 4 channel lab scope in options (see page 115) If so then two of the traces are turned off and can find the information starting on pages 110. www.snapon.com/display/3871/VERUSEdge_UserManual.pdf

@@raincitywrench117 thanks for your reply. This gives me a direction to go on. I can get this Verus Edge for $2K and it is wireless with upgrade to 22.4. I will check it out again and if I buy it, I’ll let you know. I am a DIYer and only want to get better at what I do. Your video was very helpful.

👍

Most of my diagnostic equipment is from aeswave. They have some really nice stuff, check out their site. I use the 10' test drive leads with adapters and back probes. www.aeswave.com/Test-Drive-Test-Leads-for-Snap-on-4-channel-Scopes-p9964.html www.aeswave.com/uTest-Advanced-Terminal-Test-Kit-p9748.html www.aeswave.com/AES-Electronics-Acupuncture-Probe-Kit-p9474.html

I bought my verus edge on eBay used for $3500 US. Trendyol in Turkey is the largest e-commerce platform in that region but don't think they will have what you want, may be worth a look though. We take so many things for granted here in the states. There may be some sellers on eBay or eBayUK willing to ship to Iraq if you sign up and use a PayPal account. I don't know what automobiles are sold over there & what protocols they run but if you want to pull codes, do bidirectional controls, monitor pids, etc then an Autel scanner will be what you want. They have global software which will be able to handle European models that are probably running in Iraq. If what you want to do is look at sensor waveforms and computer networks then you will need an oscilloscope like the snap-on used in this video. Hope that helps.

@@raincitywrench117 Thank you, sir, for responding to my teacher. I asked for a snap-on device that has been updated. It is checked under the 2018 model so that it is cheap. Is there a site that sells in America, and its price is approximately? A thousand thanks

Nice catch. You are correct. If there is high resistance in one of the cables or connections then the amperage would be lower not higher.

Can't really argue with that.😅
