Oscilloscope Operation and Signal Test Methods

The oscilloscope is now a standard piece of diagnostics equipment for the modern automotive technician in the workshop. The ability to test and read the signals passing between electronic systems and the respective actuators or sensors is now a ‘must have’ skill set for the job.

This course will enable the technician to competently operate an oscilloscope and use all its functions to aid in the diagnosis of vehicle systems. This course is essential for all technicians other than those who already use an oscilloscope regularly during vehicle system diagnosis work.

This course is delivered by Bosch and upon successful completion qualifies for IMI Awards Quality Assured Programme (QAP) certification.
