Excellent tutorial thank you!!. I have been wanting to get into rel comp testing on hgv here in scotland which could use up to 1000 amps so this way would let me accomplish this. All the best for the year ahead maman Cheers
Mr⚡️Cowin 🌎👑🌎 Wow & Wow, I'm from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘🦘🦘🦘 just watched the whole tutorial. Thank goodness I never judge a book by a Video & editing just Raw Explanation & Gun Barell quality.

You're truly a legend sharing this tutorial with this community I haven't seen anything like this video only watched it once & very confident & able now & Bob's your Uncle. I can't afford the Snap-on or the Vantage / Verus but I'm going tomorrow and purchasing a Pico 2 Channel Au$ Dollar is useless and worthless. You & Ivan & Mechanic Mindset from England & many more so I don't get in trouble with our UA-cam Community & your loyal followers. Oscilloscope is the future & it doesn't lie in the diagnostic process. May you have a blessed and prosperous 2024.
Fantastic informative video thanks 🙏, I wish you finished by showing where to connect the amp clamp on the snap on and on the car…maybe you’ll make a part 2 👍 sincerely new jack ..😆
nice video very informative. I dont really know how to use scope but this video made it easy to understand the low amp clamp. only question i have is so for the main wave form what settings do you use ? again not knowledgeable with scope.
Hi, Thanx for the video. Can you please let me know if you connected to the negative or positive of battery ? I've watched other videos and they talk about using the low amp clamp on the negative side of the battery . Thank You
Doesn't matter either one. I usually go to the ground cable since its usually easier to hook to. There's a arrow on the amp clamp for the direction of current flow. If the waveform is upside down you can just flip the clamp over or use the invert button on the scope.
Hey thanks so much I was so damn frustrated trying to get a good reading with the Snapon clamp. This was awesome very thorough. Very explanatory thanks
Hello! Great video, very helpful. Hard to find this kind of info. If you were looking for a very small amount of current instead of a high amp starter, would you use the same setup, only adjust the vertical scale down to say, 100mv? Or something else? Thank you!
There's different ways to do that depending on the leads you have. But this one i just back probed the wire that triggers the coil or the control wire whatever you want to call it with channel 2. Its the wire goes from the ECM to the coil. It was on a 10 volt scale but the actual trigger of the scope was still triggering off channel 1 the low amp clamp.
Hey what up my brother I just did a relative compression test on my 1987 Buick grand national and I found cylinder 1 no compression channel 1 amp clamp and channel 2 on injector num 1 control wire the only thing that I notice is my injector firing line is not on the center of the hump don’t know if it’s the way we set the ignition timing we set it to 25 degree after top dead center and then we stab the cam sensor in look like a small distributors don’t know if you familiar with them.reason im asking because on you’re video you’re saying that if the firing line is not on center of hump it a indications that it could be a teeth out on the timing chain don’t know if he applies to every car or my car is different
Can't use the injector for that since it doesn't fire at top dead center. Your injectors will be firing normally at the end of the exhaust stroke. You want to use the ignition signal for your sync. Like the number 1 COP on newer cars or number 1 spark plug wire on older ones. They make special leads for the plug wires but you'll still pick up a signal even if you laid your back probe tip against the plug wire maybe tape it on if you have too. Always use the ignition event for your 2 channel or sync.
@@70corwin thank you 🙏🏽 appreciate you can you do video on intake and exhaust pressure waveforms you have a way of explaining things that I can understand you’re a good teacher

Never had a issue. Been up to 200 amps with it without any problems and you'll see it measure up over a 1000 amps on the initial starter spike at the beginning of the test on some cars. If your worried about it being accurate you can go to the high amp clamp but its always been fine for me. It reads the same as my high amp clamp , Had them both on the same car one on each channel and they were spot on. Plus you can also couple with A/C or even do it with traditional lead set on voltage coupled. I've always preferred this method though!
Do you have an email adress please I’ve bought a modis and low amp clamp I really want to get into relative compression testing and I’m struggling set it up. I’m happy to pay you to get it set up and ready to use I’m really struggling and getting frustrated
Yeah heres my number 770-335-0227 call and leave a message or text me your info. If you know any one with a verus edge or a zeus I can team view in on which makes it really easy to show or we can do your modis over the phone.
great!!! thank you for taking time and help others tech, bless
thank you I just got this setup (zeus and low amp clamp)from snapon and the way they explained it was not clear, this was much better!
Well good , there's so much you can do with that amp clamp I need to do some more video's with it.
Thanks so much for taking your time out and showing us.

Awesome!! All the way from Scotland!! Very cool!
Sweet! Never thought about using 1v scale for the amp clamp. Wrench on brotha 🛠
I just wanted to say thank you...worked great and made since
This was very helpful thank you. From northern CA

A very useful información. I really appreciate !
And the Logitech M570 rollerball mice is the best. Good job thanks man 👍🏻
Great video, thanks
Cool man thanks for explaining the setup 👍
Thank you!

Great information keep up the good work. Ted in Australia 🇦🇺 keep Safe 👍🏁💯
All the way from the land down under!! very cool!!
great video help you explaint really good and than you for you time
thank you for the good inmation help thank you question i new on the scope and i have misteck i have fluke i1010 amp clamp how i can do costum pro
Could you do a video on saving a cam and crank signal. Im having a hard time figuring it out or any scope wave form
Great video
this it is graet video thank you for you time and explaint clearly
You can use 60 amp setting turn coupling ac. That will filter out the dc volts and only look at ac volts.
Excellent video
Thanks for the visit hoping to start making more video's.

I would just use the pre-sets on the tool. Then the tool would be doing the math for you!!
@@70corwin Great, thank you. I just got an amp clamp and am trying to learn to use the scope function on my S-O Modis Edge. Appreciate the help!
Can you explain the settings you use for your trigger on the coil

@@70corwin thank you 🙏🏽 appreciate you can you do video on intake and exhaust pressure waveforms you have a way of explaining things that I can understand you’re a good teacher
I see you didn't used a/c coupling is there a reason why you didn't!? Is AC coupling required if you use a Snap-On lab scope?
You can use AC coupling some guys do.
Jaws on the amp clamp are to small for light duty diesel cables. Is there a larger clamp size available ?
Yes you can get a high amp clamp which has the bigger jaws. Back in the day you had to use high amp clamps even on cars because of the that.
@@70corwin I have Fluke i410 amp clamp. I am going to play with that to see if I can make it work.
@@guzzimon61 Just remember the scaling on that clamp is 1mV/Amp output. So every 1 mv is a amp so set your voltage scale accordingly.
i have same sacaner
Can you do a on a car
Thank you good information
Please do another video on a car
so where you conect the clamp
either battery cable. Negative one is usually easier to hook to but there's a arrow on the clamp for current flow direction. If the waveform is upside down just flip the clamp or use the invert button on the scope.
6:50 its written 60A max
doesnt that make it not suitable for relative compression test ?
Never had a issue. Been up to 200 amps with it without any problems and you'll see it measure up over a 1000 amps on the initial starter spike at the beginning of the test on some cars.
