Hey Lee

Welcome aboard :)

Lots of really knowledgeable members here. Feel free to ask or share some captures ;)

What do you think of Autologic? I am looking at purchasing one. How is the support?

Hello , yes we find autologic to be very good , the support is as good as the tool , sometimes its not the tool that fixes the job its brand knowledge from the guys on the other end of the phone.
We have never been stuck on a job yet , we have Jag and Landrover , citroen , renault and peugeot (crap package hehe) and Bmw .
Its not the cheapest tool out there but its a good system .

No offense, hope we don't have to see them vehicle's here in the state :D

When you get a chance, post up some captures!! How long you been using the Pico scope?

We have had the scope for bout 4 years or so , i dont use it alot really as most faults you have seen before and i can look at data stream and normally see whats wrong .
I will use the scope to back up something that i deem faulty .
I see lots of folk use it all the time for diagnostics , some of the captures i have seen im blown away with the complexity and i do not always quite grasp whats going on ,but thats why im here to ask 'why' ??

Lee, we all have different diagnostic technics here. We are here to learn from one another and to incorporate each other idea's :)

Some of the members here are serious Pico user's and use it for DIAGing, others use scan data to DIAG and then there are people like myself and other whom use both the Pico and scan data. ;)

Don't feel bad on captures! I am not the greatest either :D

Only way to learn is to read some of the threads and ask questions. Another way is to practice taking captures and post them and ask questions :)

A lot of knowledgeable people here who will share their insite. Just ask ;)
