Just saw your videos (1 & 2), great demonstration. I also have both scopes. Bought a Pico 2205A first and was disappointed to learn that it is not supported on PicoScope 6 or 7 Automotive. However you just demonstrated that automotive signals are able to be read from any scope. Fyi, Pico 6 & 7 do have guided tests that are very helpful showing how to connect (either) your scope. Thanks for the videos.
Hi Great channel for us hobbyists. I found your channel via Dave Sterl as I have had a Hantek 1008 scope for years and found out the cheaper Picos work well on automotive applications so got myself a 2204A. Watched a number of your vids and have found them very very useful. You deserve more subscribers and I will recommend your channel whenever I can. Rob (UK).
Rob Lucy Thank you very much indeed. Dave is a Top Man, genuine character and very knowledgeable on a broad spectrum of topics. I don’t fret too much about my numbers. Just produce material for my own learning purposes. If anyone else can get something out of it, so much the better. Your comment is greatly appreciated. Thx again. Cheers
The Hantek software is simple....which is both good and bad. Initially it’s easier to deal with. But in no time you are bumping up against its limits because it so simple...Thx for watching 👍
Hi... I am newbie and I am about to buy an osciloscope for automotive measuring and because I am on budget I want to ask if hantek accessories like amp clamp, attenuators, and so on will work with Pico 2204? Thanks
Good question...to be honest I don’t know. Have only used a max of 4 channels I think and it seemed fine. (It’s pretty slow to start with) I should put it to the test as you are not the first to ask that question. I suspect it will slow. Cheers
Hi I just wanted to say I like your channel and always look forward to new videos. I haven't bought a scope yet and wanted to ask how the hantek 1008c performs with 4 or more channels at same time? Thanks Mike
Michael Fannin Thank you Sir. To your Question...I would say it really depends on the type of signals you a scoping. Low level relatively low frequency are ok. Higher voltage, high noise (especially HT ignition) can render it near useless with constant lockup’s. I seldom use more than 2 or 3 channels simultaneously to be honest. I have tested it with all channel sampling a 1000hz 2V square wave and it seemed fine. I know this may not be a satisfactory answer but I have very limit experience with it utilizing more than 4 channels simultaneously. Cheers
@@TheGibby3340 thanks for the quick reply. I'm torn between buying the picoscope 2204a and the hantek 1008c. I would like to have more than 2 channels for cam and crank correlation for cars with more than 1 cam sensor. And also would like to use hscope. Thanks again
Michael Fannin Yeah that’s exactly why I have both. Picos a better scope no doubt, but the four channel maybe out of reach cost wise for the hobbyist (like me) 😀 Cheers
since you using hantek1008c i got a question when and what are the output pins on hantek 1008c at the back i would like to test tachometer on my boat v8 gas engine without running the engine bench test tach has 3 wires 12v dc plus signal can i use output pin for freq signal and which that would be engine is not running yet thanks paul
Honestly I have never used that facility on the 1008. However, in reading the manual it appears there is 8ch (D0-D7)square wave generation capacity. Some parameters are adjustable. Output level is LVTTL, Frequency 0-250KHz as stated in the manual. Thx for watching 🍻
I thought the 2204A wasn't supposed to work with Picoscope Auto software. How are you lining up crank angles with the cursors at 10:30 or am I wrong in assuming that that feature is only available in Picoscope auto?
No you’re not wrong. Somewhere along the line they limited some of the features. I can’t really speak to the issue now, as I stupidly sold my 2204A years ago. Thx for watching. 🍻
I've watched a few of your videos. I understand that the 2 channel picoscope software is superior when it comes to general scope functionality. Have you tested any of the more advanced automotive functionality (such as signal generation) on the hantek? If so, do you think those functions make the hantek more useful for troubleshooting, or would you still recommend the 2 channel pico over the hantek?
Pico scope is a far more capable tool. The 1008 remains unbeatable value if multiple channel capacity is important to you. They both have a place IMO. Signal gen function on the 1008 is fixed frequency & amplitude very limited utility. I have multiple videos on both in the back catalogue. Cheers 👍
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Dakari Esteban I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Yes the Hantek is USELESS with high voltage noise in the testing vicinity. YES - due to secondary high voltage effecting it to lockup - even reboot the connect PC by crashing the port etc. With the included HT-25 pickup... no matter how careful you route wires or select earth clamp. I purchased the 1008C to do Secondary ignition testing so a door stop. Got a Pico screw Hantek rubbish design and software. Maybe we should ban CCP China made substandard products that are not useable and end up in landfill plus wasting money! Your too kind ... Hantek are a FAIL.
I purchased a 6022BE product. Then I feel like a waste of money. It does not meet the standards of a technical device . Hardware . It is only capable of receiving + - 5Vdd . Signals larger than +- 5 Vdd will have amplitude distortion. Amplitude distortion is displayed on the screen. It does not achieve +-20V visibility like grid cell. Software . It's the dumbest show in the world. It has no drift mode. Like hospital electrocardiogram machines. When I want to research a long event . For example I set the timebas to 1000 seconds. Hanteck runs in the background and doesn't show anything. Until the scale is 1000 seconds, it will show up on the screen. For 1000 seconds, I couldn't see anything and went to wait for coffee. If the numbers reach explosive danger, then I don't know either. Because Hantek shows nothing on the screen. Hanteck should only install microphones for babies alo hello!

Thx you Sir. I am not big on automotive presets. So long as yer not dealing with an injector or ignition trace. 20V & 20msec work for there….Cheers 👍
I have never owned that Pico but it is definitely a clearer image than the hantek that I own, thanks for the demo

Hello. Will the dumbbell 1008c be better than pico due to the fact that I have no experience? I mean these automotive functions.

It would be great to see the pattern if you introduced a misfire and see if we can see a slow down on the crank.
Not a bad idea...I will credit you accordingly if I do a bit. Thx & Cheers 👍
Jesus, what a pervert! 👍
Does the Hantek 1008c works well with 4 or more channels simultaneous?

Does Hantek have memory for multiple frame analysis??
The 1008 does not. Some of the higher end models may. Cheers 👍

Great video! Now may question, if you were to buy one, which one would you buy?
my*
Pico…No question. Thx for watching.
What software for hantek and what version of windows?
Hantek V 1.0.30 Windows 7
Does the Hantek have the RULER function? Seems very useful for working out timing issues etc.
Similar…Hantek utilizes a measure function which can be used to manually measure X or Y axis parameters. 🍻
@@TheGibby3340 Can you work out advance in degrees with that measure function?
Yes but there is a little mathematics involved. You have to convert time to degrees.
Pico 2204a is underrated i think. A lot of guys seem to start out with the hantek but the free pico software is king off the hop, cheers dave
dave sterl Unquestionably a solid product ! Cheers Pal
Does the hantek not have a memory buffer like the Pico? Nevermind, I just read your answer from another comment😊
Thx for checking it out 🍻

Put a coin on top of the coil on plug, probe the coin and you should get a signal. No need to probe pins. Just don't use the ground, there is no need.

I have no experience with either scope you are inquiring about.

Hantek is not good . It does not have a drift display mode.
