189 Testing the camshaft Hall sensor using the OWON VDS2064 oscilloscope enables technicians to capture, display, and analyze waveforms directly on a computer during automotive electrical diagnostics.

Both Shore A and Shore D are used to measure material hardness, but each scale is suited to a different group of materials. Soft rubber, silicone, or elastic gaskets are typically tested using Shore A, whereas hard plastics, engineering plastics, and materials with low deformation are better suited to Shore D

Equipment restarts in a factory setting can be attributed to voltage sags, momentary power outages, electrical noise, overheating, or hardware faults. For incidents that last only a few power cycles, a power quality analyzer can capture voltage, current, and waveform data at the exact moment of the reset, thereby helping engineers determine whether the power supply is the cause

Record length is the number of data points stored during a single waveform acquisition. When the sampling rate remains constant, a longer record length allows the oscilloscope to capture the signal over a longer period of time. Record length affects the actual sampling rate, the ability to maintain a high sampling rate over an extended period, and the amount of data available for electrical waveform analysis.

OWON’s PC virtual oscilloscope is presented as a practical tool for observing crankshaft position sensor waveforms in automotive diagnostics, helping technicians analyze engine behavior more clearly.

Oscilloscope probes are commonly used alongside other measuring instruments to monitor voltage, frequency, and waveforms. Proper use of the probe ensures greater stability during testing and facilitates more effective signal analysis.

This guide explains common communication interfaces used in industrial equipment and test systems, outlining their main characteristics, typical use cases, and practical selection points.

Learn about the principle of Ω measurement, the relationship between resistance and current, and how to read the scale accurately.

Oscilloscope amplitude readings can look lower than expected when the instrument bandwidth is not suitable for the signal. This article explains the basic causes and practical bandwidth choices.

Explore how the OWON TAO3000 oscilloscope supports automotive air control valve sensor measurements with clear waveform capture, versatile triggering options, and convenient 2-in-1 measurement capabilities.
