When the voltage signal voltage of the measured signal is not clear , you could use multimeter function
which contained in this series of oscilloscopes to test out it and then to set the oscilloscope and a probe
attenuation ratio. The text of the functional test with the measured model is Dodge Cool Granville 2.4L
version. As the different car models measured waveforms are different, so there some differences may be
exist. While measuring two kinds of signals, low frequency signal can be used as a trigger source to ensure
the stability of the waveform. (Change the trigger source, press the trigger button to change)

(1)Ignition Introduction
1)Ignition system type
There is a long history of the use of traditional ignition systems with boards,Has now been
gradually replaced by a direct ignition system (DIS).
Direct ignition system is divided into three types:
▲Double-ignition system (DEC) with double-ended output ignition coil.
▲ single-ended output ignition coil using a single ignition system (CPC).
7 / 53
2)Traditional ignition system.
1. Cam
2. Breaker
3. Ignition coil
4. Distributor
5. Spark plugs
Traditional ignition system main consists by a battery, cam, breaker, ignition coil, distributor and
spark plugs;
The role of the battery is the power required to supply the ignition system, cams and circuit
breakers be used to control the ignition system power;
The ignition coil stores the ignition energy and converts the battery voltage to the ignition high
voltage;
The role of the circuit breaker is to turn on or off the point coil primary circuit;
The role of the distributor is to transform the Ignition high pressure produced by fire coil to
cylinder spark plugs according to the working order of the engine
The spark plug puts ignition high pressure into the cylinder combustion chamber,and produce
spark between the electrodes, then Ignite combustible mixture. The advantage of this ignition system
is easy to maintenance and testing, but one of the shortcomings is mechanical parts and electrical
contacts easy to wear, life is short, high-voltage connection is also easy to damage.
3)DEC:
1. Impeller
2. Impeller sensor
3. Other sensor
4. Ignition control module
5. Ignition amplifier
6. Ignition coil
7. Spark plugs
1.
2. Spark plugs
The dual ignition system be consisted of electronic devices, without mechanical parts. Each two
cylinders share an ignition coil,coil secondary two electrodes connect a spark plug separately. That’
s mean there are two spark plugs at the same time igniting, one of the tanks in the normal ignition,
the other cylinder is in the exhaust process(Spark spark "waste" in the exhaust),The pressure in the
exhaust of the cylinder close to the air pressure, so it just needs a low Ignition voltage.
One of the advantages of a dual ignition system is the lack of failure, so seldom need to maintain, In
addition, it have a good adjust performance in Ignition system, like radio waves less, low fuel
Consumption. The disadvantage still needs high voltage lines and spark plug connectors.

4)CPC and COP
1. Impeller
2. Impeller sensor
3. Other sensor
4. Ignition control module
5. Ignition amplifier
6. Ignition coil
7. Spark plugs
Each cylinder has a separate ignition coil which is the most advanced ignition system today. This
ignition system is divided into two types: CPC and COP. The integrated ignition system integrates the
ignition coil on the spark plug , single ignition is followed by a high voltage line from the ignition coil
to the spark plug.
5)Ignition principle
▲The electronic ignition
1. Signal sensor
2. Ignition control module (ECU)
3. Ignition amplifier
4. Ignition coil
5. High voltage line and spark plugs
Electronically controlled ignition through a set of sensors to collect information related to the
engine,contain Speed, cooling temperature and engine load. Position sensors and speed sensors are
the most important information for ignition systems, which come from Impeller sensor or camshaft
sensor. According to this message , ignition control module can calculate the ignition time and
charging time. If there is some sensor is not working may put out a wrong signal, so we need the
modern control module to check the authenticity of signal put out by the sensor. It is invalid to the
ignition control module outputs the signal directly to drive the ignition coil,we need to enlarge the
signal by ignition amplifier. In fact, the ignition amplifier is generally installed in the ignition coil, in
this case the primary ignition signal is undetectable; Or installed in the ignition control modeling
this case the output signal of the ignition control module is undetectable. Thus, it is particularly
important to detect engine failures and performance through secondary ignition signals.
▲Mechanical ignition system
1. Electric shock
2. Ignition coil
3. Distributor / high voltage line / spark plugs
9 / 53
Contact-driven
1. Sensor
2. Ignition amplifier
4. Ignition coil
5. Distributor / high voltage line / spark plugs
Sensor-driven
In a mechanical ignition system, the charging time and ignition time are controlled by the distributor
camshaft. The electrical sensor (Hall or magnetoelectric) or contact acts as a sensor.The contacts can
drive the ignition coil directly,And the electric transmitter to go through the ignition to drive the
ignition coil.
6)Sensor
Hall devices and magnetic induction coil are commonly used sensors.
Hall device output square wave 0-5 volts or 0-12 volts.
Magnetic induction coil output sine wave, the amplitude is related to rotational speed. Ignition control
signal.
Ignition control module output control signal 0-5 V or 0-12 V square wave.

ignition, all of the other ignition need to has broken line, the line to measure the
secondary ignition directly to the ignition probe caught in the sub-line can be)

1)Primary ignition:
•Install the battery, press the red power button until you hear the buzzer ring to enters the main
step1 menu interface, as shown in Figure 1
•Press the up and down keys to select the instrument work mode and then press the "OK" button, the default
selected "ignition" selected after entering the ignition function selection interface, and then through the up
step2 and down keys to select "primary ignition" to enter the oscilloscope interface,
•As shown in Figure 2
•Connect the probe to the oscilloscope CH1 and the probe is set to 10X, then the ground pin is connected to
step3 the signal ground
•As the oscilloscope primary ignition has been set by default (probe file 10X, time base file 1ms), simply
connect the probe pin to the ignition coil can visually display the waveform. Figure 1 (when the waveform
step4 shaking too fast to capture, you can set the trigger mode for a single trigger to detect)

Breakdown voltage or The figure is the Chrysler Dodge measured at
ignition voltage peak idle time of the primary ignition voltage
waveform. The starting voltage is 14V, the
coupling mode is DC coupling, the starting
Burn line voltage is the battery voltage. The coil began
Arcing or burning to charge, then the horizontal axis of the time
voltage base is 1ms, accounting for two cells, so the
charging time is 2 milliseconds, an
electromotive force is generated after power
Oscillation failure, the burning time is 1.1 ms. There are
Ignition coil coil more than oscillating waveforms , Sasser is a
begins charging
Damped Sasser which produced by the
mutual inductance among ignition primary
coil and secondary coil , This waveform is a
Pic-1 Primary ignition direct reflection of the working state of the
two coils.
When ignited, the coil secondary produces a high voltage. When the voltage gradually
increased to a certain level, Spark plug puts out spark, this voltage is the ignition voltage. The
voltage then drops rapidly to another voltage and remains for a while,this is the combustion
voltage,The burning time is the maintained voltage time at the combustion voltage. At the end of
the burning, The energy in the ignition coil is substantially exhausted , the residual energy forms
damping oscillations on the coil.
From the graph , you can analyze the vehicle's operating situation in detail. Ideally, the
pattern is very stable, which mean the voltage of each ignition process is the same. The graphics
of each cylinder should be roughly similar. But in the real operation, it is not so perfect , the
shaking is always exist ,small or large ,in the graph. For example, Ignition or breakdown voltage is
unstable, and the burning time may also be different, but that doesn't mean the engine is faulty.
This situation may need me integrate the experience gained
in past time ,and other graphics to make a comprehensive
analysis. So it is a low probability event to catch a very
ideal graphic in every test.
If there is too much clutter on the burning line, you need to check whether the cylinder bad
ignition, ignition too early, the injector is damaged or the spark plug is dirty. The length of the
12 / 53
duration of the combustion line is related to the concentration of the gas in the cylinder, normally,
when the burning time more than 2ms means that the mixed gas is too thick. Conversely, if the
burning time is less than 0.75 ms means the mixture is too thin.
Currently, We use the sensor capacitive probe as Ignition probe. One end of the capacitor module
is clamped on the cylinder line or on the ignition extension line, and the other end is
grounded .The probe is marked as 10000:1, but in the actual measurement process found that the
attenuation voltage has a certain difference, Usually at the position of the oscilloscope X1,factory
default vertical Vog is 200mv / lattice, vertical volts about 200mv ~ 1v to fine-tuning(Press the
corresponding channel ,and then up and down keys to adjust the value of the bottom left corner of
the screen)Ensure that the breakdown voltage does not exceed the screen. The density of the
waveform can be adjusted by time base, The factory default is 1ms, the coil charging time in
milliseconds to calculate, EFI motorcycle time base units may be smaller.
2)Secondary ignition
NOTE:
Independent ignition and high pressure ignition probe need to part with special ignition
extension cable and ignition sensor probe, respectively, connect the ignition probe to
oscilloscope CH1.
As the oscilloscope secondary ignition has been default set by Ignition system with sub -
cylinder line (probe file 1X, time base file 1ms), Ignition probe with a capacitor (black small
box) one folder in the sub-line line, the other end of the ground or access the battery negative.
If the car is an independent ignition system, you will need to purchase an "independent
ignition extension cord" (one end of the ignition coil package is a spark plug effect instead of
the sub-cylinder line) when the ignition probe is caught on the independent ignition extension
line.
We all know that the engine ignition system is divided into three categories:
First one :All cylinders share an ignition coil, the high voltage generated by the ignition
coil is distributed to the spark plugs of the cylinders through the distributor. Early carburetor
period and the electronic control engine is used in this way.
Next one : The two cylinders share one ignition coil, like Elan , Teke Excelle. In
four-cylinder engine, first and fourth cylinder share one ignition coil, second and third cylinder
share one ignition coil.
Last one: Independent ignition which a spark ignition plug in each cylinder. This ignition
system has three major advantages: 1. Strong energy of ignition 2. Good sealing and good
anti-interference ability 3. Long life, now the car is basically this ignition system.
We know that the primary ignition waveform is generated by the primary coil, the
secondary ignition waveform is generated by the secondary coil. Relatively, the primary
ignition produces a low voltage, and the secondary ignition produces a high voltage of tens of
thousands of volts. Note that the high pressure here is just a pulse signal which can break the
13 / 53
spark plug electrode ignition cylinder mixed gas in a moment, just like the lighter is ignited,
The high voltage million pressures will not cause harm to the person. No matter the voltage is
primary ignition or the secondary ignition,its energy is from the 12V or 24V battery voltage
through the primary coil generated by the primary voltage,through the secondary coil to
produce secondary high voltage pressure.
Note:
The ignition extension cable connection and steps shown as below (ignition extension line to be
purchased separately)

3) Primary ignition, secondary ignition
This function can achieve primary ignition, secondary ignition, through CH1 and CH2,to
more intuitive observation and contrast two waveforms. Before you select the "primary ignition,
secondary ignition" to get the user interface ,there will be prompted "CH1: primary use standard
probe, CH2: secondary use of special ignition probe" , then waiting a seconds min you can enter
the oscilloscope interface,For other specific operations please refer to the above primary,
secondary ignition function.
Note: This function CH1 for the primary ignition, CH2 for the secondary ignition, pay
attention to the probe connected to the channel.
The figure shows the current waveform of the primary ignition. When the current begins to
flow in the ignition coil, the resulting waveform will rise at a certain slope due to the
characteristics of the coil-specific resistance and inductance. The rising slope is a very important
criterion. Usually the primary ignition waveform will rise at an angle about 60 °. At the same time
in the same time base unit (1ms),the time of primary ignition current waveform coil power is
same as the primary ignition voltage waveform coil charging time (about two cells) ,and the
maximum current through about 5A ~ 6A. When the current of ignition module is turned off , the
current waveform is almost vertical. It should be noted that when the current begins to flow in the
ignition coil, observe the current waveform of the ignition coil, if the left is almost vertical rise, it
shows the ignition coil resistance is too small (short circuit), this will cause driving performance
failure, and will Damage the switching transistor in the ignition mode.
In addition, the time that the current waveform from the beginning to reach the peak is
usually the same,, Which is due to the filling of a good ignition coil current, the time used is kept
constant. The ECU can increase or decrease the turn-on time of the ignition coil through the
ignition module to control the magnitude of the current flowing into the ignition coil Measuring
current waveforms need to use the current clamp, current clamp straight clip, signal line,
oscilloscope set to X1 vertical strip 200mv time base 1ms current clamp do not take anti or the
waveform will be reversed. If you want to measure the current, we can recommend one or two
relatively high costs of current clamp.

NOTE:
Oxygen sensors are also known as exhaust gas sensors,It plays a very important role in the
exhaust emission control of vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. The oxygen sensor is
mounted on the exhaust pipe before the catalyst. The voltage variation of the zirconium oxygen
varies in the range of 0 to 5 V from 0 to 1 V, because the titanium oxide sensor requires a power
supply voltage. A vehicle equipped with an oxygen sensor is called a "closed loop", meaning that
after the fuel is burned, the sensor will analyze the exhaust emissions and re-adjust the engine oil
according to the results..
Regardless of the number of wires between the oxygen sensor and the engine control module,
the sensor output is always on the black line.
Single line: This line is used to output the sensor itself to generate voltage, usually black.
19 / 53
Two lines: one output line and one output ground wire.
Three lines: one output line and two heating lines (power and ground). The internal heating
device increases the temperature during cold start to allow the car to be quickly controlled.
Four lines: a signal line and a signal ground wire. The other two are heating lines.
The Zirconium oxygen sensor needs to reach more than 350 ℃ temperature to work properly, the
oxygen sensor normal output feedback voltage between 0 ~ 1V(practice 0.1-0.85v) change
0.5V above the output means the mixture air is too thick; 0.5V is an appropriate balance between
thin and thick, 0.5V below the output that the mixture is too thin. The output voltage change
indicates that the engine control module is changing the air-fuel
Note: 1、The axis is a peak-to-amplitude
ratio (air to fuel ratio, mixed gas concentration).
2、Peak to trough for the two amplitudes,not one
Normal zircon oxygen sensor output voltage waveform should
meet the 3 elements: the highest voltage value, the minimum
voltage value, the response time (voltage from high to low time).
Normally, the permissible range is the maximum voltage value>
850mV, the minimum voltage value is 75 ~ 175mV, the response
time is <100ms. . The requirement for waveform amplitude Amplitude
variation is not less than 8 times the amplitude of the waveform Wavelength

NOTE:Turn on the ignition switch and do not start the engine,Detect the throttle position
sensor signal, slowly open and close the throttle, observe there is or without sudden wave or
irregular change in waveform.When analyzing the throttle position sensor waveform, you should
find out any abnormal waveforms in any signal waveform, For example, an instantaneous voltage
drop may indicate that the sensor itself is wrong, damaged, or dirty.。And this is not normal signal
waveform, but also easily lead to misjudgment of the oscilloscope, the vehicle failure. Most of the
throttle position sensor, in the idle time, the voltage value should be below 1.25V, and the throttle
fully open, the voltage should be 3.4V or more, and its voltage should be smooth changes without
any surge or voltage drop and so on. When the ignition switch is turned on and the engine don't
work , If the waveform does not change with the throttle opening,the cause may be as follows:
21 / 53
● Poor connection
● The sensor itself is not good
As shown in the following figure throttle position sensor of the anatomical map, the red key
refers to the carbon film, in the throttle at different openings in the metal contacts on the carbon
film trajectory will correspond to the corresponding changes in the output voltage. Usually the
throttle position sensor voltage should be less than 1v from idle when the throttle is fully open
when less than 5v. The waveform should not be broken up and down, the ground to the peak or
large fall. the waveform of one of four in the throttle opening need to special attention which is a
component that universally used in sensor carbon film in driving. The first one of eight to
third of the Carbon film in front throttle is usually first worn out or carbon film off, causing the
waveform to fall directly. Usually the throttle position sensor failure, will cause the engine idle
operation is not normal(Such as idling too high or too low, idle instability, idle easy to turn off) or
engine acceleration is not normal (such as acceleration when the engine shaking, speed up the
reaction hysteresis, etc.),And sometimes lead to the engine in the operation of intermittent jitter
and so on.

•Press “HORI” key to enter the main base cursor state setting
step1
•Press “F2” key to set the cursor “ON”; Press “F3” key to set the source as “CH1-CH4”; press “F4” key to set the type
step2 of the cursor “Voltage”.
•Press “HORI” key again to see location of cursor 1 and cursor 2(relative to the intermediate zero volate reference
step3 level) and increment (V_cursor2-V_cursor1)
•Press “ ” and “ ” to tune the position of cursor 2,“ ” and “ ” to tune the position of cursor
step4 1;and there position and increment will updating on the screen in Real-time. See Pic 3-2 and Pic 3-3.
Note: If you use the cursor to measure the time, only in the second step above, set the cursor type
to time

(4) Press “RUN” key, the left corner of the display screen will displays “SIGL”,waiting for
the signal meets the trigger condition occurs. If the trigger signal reaches the ertain conditions, it
will displays on the screen. With this feature ,you can easily capture the event accidental, such as
a suddenly low voltage:press”RUN” key to start the wait when there is a low level occurs, the
devices will automatically trigger and the trigger waveform record before and after a period of
time off.”HORI” key can change the horizontal position of the trigger position, and then you can
get different lengths, which can easily observe the waveform. See Figure 3-4

4.2 Troubleshooting
1. If you press the " " button oscilloscope screen remains dark, no display, follow these
steps:
(1) Open the instrument battery cover, check whether the power supply or battery power
leakage, flatulence, etc.
(2) After the inspection is completed, restart the instrument.
(3) If you still can not properly use the product, please contact us.
2. After signal acquisition, signal waveform screen does not appear, please follow these steps:
(1) Check whether the probes are correctly connected to the signal line connection.
(2) Check whether the signal cable is properly connected to the BNC.
(3) Check whether the probe is properly connected with the analytes.
(4) Check whether the analyte signal is generated.
(5) Re-acquire the signal again.
3. Measured voltage amplitude value is 10 times greater than the actual value, or 10 times
smaller:
Check whether the channel attenuation factor of the probe matches the actual attenuation ratio.
