Diagram of vehicle osciloscope 

 

1 X-431TOP Terminal                2 battery         
3 battery cable with w/two clips           
4oscilloscope GND cable           
5 oscilloscope cable   

  6 electronically controlled patch cord 
 

Attention: Please use the special capacitance 
probe  when  diagnose  the  ignition  high 

tension  line.  Do  not  directly  connect  the 

oscilloscope to the ignition secondary circuit. 

 

NOTE:   
1.

 

From cigar lighter: insert one end of the 

cigar lighter cable into the lighter socket 

in  vehicle  and  connect  the  other  end  to 

the  DC  power  connector  of  X-431TOP 

Terminal. 

2.

 

From  double-clip  power  cable:  connect 

one end of the double-clip power cable to 

the positive battery and the other end to 

the negative.   

3.

 

From power patch cord: connect one end 
of the power patch cord to the 100-240V 

AC socket and the other end to the jack 

of  the  on-off  power.  And  connect  the 

power jack to the DC power connector. 

Oscilloscope Menu   

Fig.7  shows  the  entering  vehicle  oscilloscope 
menu. (Default 

trigger

 menu). 

Parameter setting is in the left. 
Trigger  source:  the  trigger  channel  of 
oscilloscope[channel(CH1), 

channel(CH2), 

channel(CH3),  channel(CH4)].  The  chosen 

channel is light. 
Trigger  mode:  (auto

  normal)  and  (single

 

continuum).  When  in  the  auto  mode,  trigger  as 
receive  the  signal.  When  in  the  normal  mode, 
trigger  as  satisfied  the  trigger  requirements 
(leading  edge  or  trailing  edge,  trigger  level, 
trigger point). When in the single mode, triggering 
once  can  display  one  waveform.  When  in  the 
continuum  mode,  the  variation  of  continuous 
waveform can be displayed. 
Trigger edge: the leading edge or trailing edge of 
waveform.  Clicking  [leading]  or  [trailing]  can 
switch mutually. 
Trigger  level:  the  original  voltage  value  of 
waveform with regulation by [up] and [down].   
Trigger  point:  to  regulate  the  horizontal  position 
of signal trigger with [leftward] and [rightward]. 
 

Note:  When  the  numerical  value  and  cursor 

don

t  occur,  please  choose  the  relevant 

channel display in the 

display setting

menu.

  Other  functions(refer  to  the  previous 

explanation with history, save, print,help funcitons; 
gridding:  turn  on/off  gridding).  Fig.3-7  shows
