I don\u2019t want to buy another one if my current one will work.<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> Please refer to the \u201cWhat do I need?\u201d section on the web because the answer depends on what you want to use the FirstLook sensors for. Most important are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha; margin-left: 48px;\">\n<li>How many channels will you need? (How many sensors, including trigger, when appropriate will you be needing?)<\/li>\n<li>How high of frequencies will you want to accurately detect? A 4-stroke engine running at 1500 rpm has piston \/ valve events at about 80 Hz. Valve \u2018leakages\u2019 whistle at around 8,000 Hz. If you use more than one simultaneous sensor, multiply your needed frequency by that number.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to store and programmatically analyze the signatures, you want software that provides such analysis or can store and export the results for later reference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.2<\/span> What specs are required for my current PC to work satisfactorily? Will an Apple work?<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> You should check with your PC oscilloscope distributor. If you are using a hand held oscilloscope, the device should be plenty powerful for automotive cycles.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.3<\/span> My oscilloscope is showing twice as many \u2018humps\u2019 as I would expect given the RPM table. What is going on?<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> Such phenomena are usually a result of reflections (echoes) in the tailpipe or related components. Consider neighboring \u2018humps\u2019 as a group. Use the downloadable Timing chart to get the interval for each cylinder as a means to identify the appropriate group of humps.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.4<\/span> Is there a minimum mileage a vehicle should reach before testing?<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> No. To evaluate your engine, it is smart to test it every time you get an oil change. This enables you to anticipate problems rather than just react to failures out on the road.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.5<\/span> Are there vehicles that should not be tested? (e.g., diesel and turbo applications)<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> The tool was designed, engineered and tested on gasoline and diesel engines with 3 through 8 cylinders. Turbochargers, catalytic converters, mufflers, and tailpipe geometries might affect pulse shapes by reflections whenever there is a curve or change in diameter of the tailpipe. But they do not affect the (ir)regularity of the patterns.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.6<\/span> If we test a vehicle twice (back-to-back), without performing a service, will the reading be the same?<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> Yes. But every engine produces slight variations, which the sensor detects. In our documentation and procedures, we focus on physical integrity which typically doesn\u2019t produce intermittent, significant variation. We are primarily looking for irregularities that return every 4-stroke cycle.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.7<\/span> Does it matter if the engine is hot or cold?<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> Yes. A cold engine may produce false results, especially in diesel engines. Before an engine can be tested, it should be up to normal operating temperature. Cold engines might give \u2018false positives suggesting problems that disappear upon warming up.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.8<\/span> Is there any correlation between number of cylinders and test results? (e.g., does a 4-cylinder vehicle typically test better than a 6 or an 8?)<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> No.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ques\"><span class=\"question\">Q.9<\/span> Does type of fuel used play a part in the test results?<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"ans\"><span class=\"answer\">A:<\/span> Yes. It\u2019s important to note that many factors can impact an engine\u2019s performance. Engine type, age and maintenance history; individual driving style, fuel quality as well as environmental factors. Poor engine fuel quality typically exhibits itself with intermittent \u2018problems\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRODUCTS What do I need?
