114 Chapter 16 Oscilloscope Operations The Oscilloscope application configures the MaxiSys Diagnostic Device to operate as an automotive oscilloscope when work in combination with the MaxiScope module. This function provides all the features needed for performing electrical and electronic circuit tests as well as monitoring signal activities on any modern vehicles, which shows you what is really going on with a vehicle’s electrical system. 16.1 Safety Information Follow these instructions to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock and prevent equipment damage. A. Maximum input ranges Observe all terminal ratings and warnings marked on the product. DANGER:  To prevent electric shock, operate within the safe input range for the scope, refer to 16.1 Safety Information on page 114.  To prevent electric shock, take all necessary safety precautions when working on equipment where voltages above the specified input range may be present. Contact with voltages outside of the specified measuring range presents a risk of electric shock.  To prevent injury or death, the oscilloscope must not be directly connected to the mains (line power). To measure mains voltages, use a differential isolating probe specifically rated for mains use. WARNING:  Operation outside of the safe input range is likely to cause permanent damage to the oscilloscope and other connected equipment. B. Grounding DANGER:  The scope’s ground connection through the USB cable is for measurement purposes only. The oscilloscope does not have a protective safety ground.  Do not connect the ground input (chassis) to any electrical power source. To prevent personal injury or death, use a voltmeter to check that there is no significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to which you intend to connect it.

Oscilloscope Operations Safety Information 115 WARNING:  Applying a voltage to the ground input is likely to cause permanent damage to the oscilloscope, the attached computer, and other equipment.  To prevent measurement errors caused by poor grounding, always use the high-quality USB cable supplied with the oscilloscope. C. External connections DANGER:  To prevent injury or death, use only the power cord and adaptor supplied with the product. D. Environment DANGER:  To prevent injury or death, do not use in wet or damp conditions, or around explosive gas or vapor. WARNING:  To prevent damage, always use and store your oscilloscope in appropriate environments. For detailed information on temperature and humidity specifications for both the storage and usage of the oscilloscope, see 16.1 Safety Information on page 114. E. Product Maintenance The product contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair, servicing and calibration require specialized test equipment and must only be performed by Autel Tech Support or an approved service provider. DANGER:  To prevent injury or death, do not use the product if it appears to be damaged in any way, and stop use immediately if you are concerned by any abnormal operations. WARNING:  Do not tamper with or disassemble the oscilloscope, connectors or accessories. Internal damage will affect performance.  Do not block any of the instrument’s air vents as overheating will cause damage to the oscilloscope.  When cleaning the oscilloscope, use wet soft cloth with mild detergent in water. Do not allow water to enter the oscilloscope casing, as this will cause damage to the electronics inside.

Oscilloscope Operations Glossary 116 16.2 Glossary AC/DC Control Each channel can be set to either AC coupling or DC coupling. With DC coupling, the voltage displayed onscreen is equal to the true voltage of the signal with respect to ground. With AC coupling, any DC component of the signal is filtered out, leaving only the variations in the signal for the AC component. Aliasing When the signal frequency gets higher than half the scope’s maximum sampling rate and exceeds the limit, a distorted waveform appears. This distortion is called aliasing. Analog Bandwidth All oscilloscopes have an upper limit to the range of frequencies at which they can measure accurately. The analog bandwidth of an oscilloscope is defined as the frequency at which a displayed sine wave has half the power of the input sine wave (about 71% of the amplitude). Block Mode A sampling mode in which the computer prompts the oscilloscope to collect a block of data into its internal memory before stopping the oscilloscope and transferring the whole block into computer memory. This mode of operation is effective when the input signal being sampled is high frequency. Buffer Size/Cache Size This term indicates the size of the oscilloscope’s buffer memory. The buffer memory is used by the oscilloscope to temporarily store data. This helps to compensate for the differences in data transfer rate from one device to another. Sampling Rate This term is used to define the number of samples per second captured by the oscilloscope. The faster the sampling rate of the scope, the more frequently it measures the signal voltage, and so the more detailed will be the trace that appears on the scope screen. Streaming Mode This term indicates a sampling mode in which the oscilloscope samples data and returns it to the computer in an unbroken stream. This mode of operation is effective when the input signal being sampled is at low frequency.

Oscilloscope Operations Glossary 117 Time Base The time base controls the time interval across the scope display. Voltage Range The voltage range is the range between the maximum and minimum voltages that can be accurately captured by the oscilloscope. Sinusoidal Waveform This term describes the waveform characteristics typically found in circuits with large inductance and capacitance, and often referred to as an AC signal. The waveform alternates either side of 0 volts or may rise and fall creating a regular sinusoidal shape: Figure 16-1 Sample Sinusoidal Waveform Amplitude This term indicates the maximum voltage generated from the zero volts line of the oscilloscope. Frequency This term describes the number of signal occurrences per second. Frequency is measured in Hz (hertz). Square Waveform This term describes the waveform characteristics normally generated by signals switching between clearly defined voltage levels, such as a Hal effect sensor signal may create by switching a voltage to ground. A typical digital square waveform is shown below:

Oscilloscope Operations MaxiScope Module 118 Figure 16-2 Sample Square Waveform Peak to peak voltage This term indicates the difference in voltage between the minimum and maximum voltages occurring in the waveform. 16.3 MaxiScope Module The MaxiScope Automotive Oscilloscope tool kit is optional and available for purchase along with the MaxiSys package. There are 2 versions (basic and advanced versions) available. The MaxiScope tool kit comes standard with:  MaxiScope Module  CD with user manual and PC software  USB Cable  Other probe accessories

Maintenance and Service Troubleshooting Checklist 139 18.2 Troubleshooting Checklist A. When the Display Tablet does not work properly:  Make sure the tablet has been registered online.  Make sure the system software and diagnostic application software are properly updated.  Make sure the tablet is connected to the Internet.  Check all cables, connections, and indicators to see if the signal is being received. B. When battery life is shorter than usual:  This may happen when you are in an area with low signal strength. Turn off your device if is not in use. C. When you cannot turn on the tablet:  Make sure the tablet is connected to a power source or the battery is charged. D. When you are unable to charge the tablet:  Your charger maybe out of order. Contact your nearest dealer.  You may be attempting to use the device in an overly hot/cold temperature. Try changing the charging environment.  Your device may have not been connected to the charger properly. Check the connector. NOTE: If your problems persist, please contact Autel’s technical support personnel or your local selling agent. 18.3 About Battery Usage Your tablet is powered by a built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery. This means that, unlike other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery while some charge remains without reducing your tablet’s autonomy due to the “battery memory effect” inherent in those technologies. DANGER: The built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery is factory replaceable only; incorrect replacement or tampering with the battery pack may cause an explosion.

Maintenance and Service About Battery Usage 140  Do not use a damaged battery charger.  Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.  Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.  Make sure to use the charger and USB cables only that come together in the package. If you use the other charger and USB cables, you might incur malfunction or failure of the device.  Only use the charging device that has been qualified with device per the standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.  Avoid dropping the tablet. If the tablet is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.  The closer you are to your network’s base station, the longer your tablet usage time because less battery power is consumed for the connection.  The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity.  Battery life inevitably shortens over time.  Since over charging may shorten battery life, remove the tablet from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger, once charging is complete.  Leaving the tablet in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep the battery within normal temperatures. 18.4 Service Procedures This section introduces information for technical support, repair service, and application for replacement or optional parts.
