2204A and MI074 capacitive secondary ignition pickup

Post by Jimmylim »

Hi,
I'm about to buy scope for motorcycle electronics analyse.
Is it possible to use MI074 with 2204A?

Mostly my use is reading sensors, but would like to have option to solve ignition problems.

MI074 manual says: The MI074 pickup
can also be used with oscilloscopes of most other makes
provided they have a waveform invert option.

Thanks,
Jimmie

Hi Jimmy,

Land Rover / Jaguar would be intending to use this with an Automotive PicoScope (https://www.picoauto.com/products), where you have all of the diagnostic aids, hardware protection for using it in an automotive environment, waveform libarary and other benefits. So while, technically, you could get a waveform displayed in a 2204A, you can't use PicoScope 6 Automotive software, lose out on the benefits that I mentioned and run the risk of damaging the scope.

Regards,
