Wireless is nice

Looks like his transducers are EBP'z out of a 6.0L :D

have you read the reviews yet?

Yes it would be. Especially if your doing a road test. I use my wireless multimeter on road test and it works sweet.

Only issue is you may loose some data.

The transducers sure do and even the Oil Pressure Sensor on a GM V8.

I can see this being a generic tool being used at a buddy's house having a few beers and playing around just to get a glimpse of the basic's. I think if you are looking for detail you will not get it. But for the price it is CHEAP ;)

Even made in CHINA ;D

I'm still trying to figure out what would be sooo great about a wireless scope.  It's one wire going from the scope to the computer.  Is it really hard to hook up one more wire?   :D

Its not the hook up, it's tripping over it.

Is it that big a deal?
Hell no

A shop I go to has a SO Verdict with wireless module.
I think its really cool for both scanner and scope. Specially with a scope/scanner mounted Tool cart.

Also,
when I use IDS the only time I have it Hard wired is when programming. Very nice option and best part of VCM2

I think some of us are spoiled with wireless. I know having wireless would benefit me. I have a long table with several laptops on it for all the manufactures.

If I can have a wireless scanner connected and a wireless Pico I can monitor it from the table and not be next to a HOT engine or noise from the engine.

If they are a dear horse in the lot and I DON'T feel like pushing it. Diaging it from inside would be sweet and I don't have to be in the Heat & Cold. Work smarter not harder ;D

Karl, I do all my programming wirelessly in the bays with all the tools I have. Only time I am tethered in is when I am mobile ;)

Any particular reason why you tether in all the time?

I haven't bricked a module yet in the 20 years I have been updating or programming modules. Knock on wood ;)

Actually I probably should admit that I use Tom's 15ft USB cable, so that might explain why I've got no complaints.  :)

No specific reason Bob, Just that Ford deemed it hazard-es many years back and its just became habit.
I had tanked a brand new truck(08 6.4L F350 K Rnch) trans Module before sooo... it has just stuck. :)
Can't remember now if it was wireless or not :-/

I can see where you can be reserved. No one wants to brick a module.

When I called the GM TIS one time I explained to them I was programming a vehicle's wirelessly and they said they didn't recommend it. I asked them why? It stated in their SI and in their news letters through Sandy Blogs you can use the MDI wirelessly to program.

She stated to me "engineering utilizes wireless programming, but technicians are deterred from wireless programming due to their lack of knowledge"  I thought to myself WTF here. So, unless its is TBS driven to hardwire a connection I flash wirelessly ;)            
                 
        

Well I have been doing wireless programming for the last 10 years. It has been great, it makes everything else suck. Dragging around cables, tripping over them.

I was poking around the garage journal forum yesterday and saw this guy's post.  He' asking around $800 for a "basic" transducer kit.  ::)

Karl I'm horrible with abbreviations dude, which transducer sensor is he using?  I kept a oil pressure transducer that supposedly was bad, is it one of those? :)

Not sure but it looks like a chromed out

ICP (injection control pressure)
or
EBP (exhaust back pressure)

VT365 or 6.0L

I know basically the same engine
Dude don't waist your time
you have a WPS don't you.
If you want a close second I'm sure there are some Fluke pv350 out there.

Yes I have a wps.  Was just curious that's all.  I will eventually get another one but was looking at cheaper avenues.  I use the home made bls but as Brandon has said they don't work that we'll on a Diesel Engine running.  I like using transducers.  I use one in the exhaust, intake, and crankcase, the capture isn't as busy and I can decipher it better.  What I do usually now is I put the wps into the intake because it reads good negative pressures and then I put  crankcase pressure sensor in the exhaust and crankcase.  I made up a box with a resistor in it and a 9 volt battery to drop the supply to 5 volts.  I have pictures of it on Cummins bus.  Only drawback is I haven't figured out the scaling yet for the sensors, it's on the 2 do list.  Does the pv350 read good negative pressures Karl?

I dont have one but from what I have read they are the closest thing to a WPS.
Just save your money for the WPS😉
