Try www.dewitzauto.com. They have a training manual that's made for the Modis, but I think you could still benefit from it.

Also try http://www.aeswave.com/products/Prod...mi=0&p=3&ci=76

They have great training material at a reasonable price

Goto you tube and lookup scannerdanner, has his own book you can buy but has some awesome videos for using labscopes. Really helps putting theory into practice watching it live versus still pics in a book!

Ask your local parts distributor also. Many aftermarket training opportunities

1+ for scannerdanner!! He is such a great teacher, his youtube videos go into great depth!

I really think the best teacher is experience. I went to GM Lab scope training back when we had analog scopes with no presets back in these days:


Things sure have changed!

The class was informative, particularly because I was so young, but aside from setting the scope up I learned very little. Many years (and many scopes) later I am still learning, but hunger for development and a little of my own personal time hooking up to cars that are known good and known bad, creating problems to see how waveforms react, and any other thing I can think of, helps my knowledge and understanding grow.

Basically you need to learn the basics. What do bad grounds look like, how does a shorted coil look, what does a synced pattern (and even more importantly an unsynced pattern) look like? All these things will help you to grow in your knowledge.

Thanks to modern day presets, auto ranging, auto triggering, known good waveforms on our scopes and waveform libraries online and the like makes the learning curve much smaller... But your best teacher is, in my experience, taking the time and playing with your new tool.
