My name is Denis and I manage a repair shop for our Municipality. We maintain and repair all equipment for the various departments, including the fire dept fleet. We just ordered a 4 channel kit today and looking forward to learn new tricks.

Welcome a board Denis!!! Being a municipality I am sure you have a lot of diesels and gassers to work on. Busjocky here on the forum is the resident diesel go to guy. KarlW here on the forum also works for a municipality and I am sure guys can share info.

If you have questions feel free to ask. We are all here to help each other and enjoy the Pico scope ;)

Welcome Denis!  Anything I can help you with let me know.  There are also some other HD guys on here too.  There is Tim S and Josh who are also Top Notch guys too.  Nice to see another HD Guy on here!  For awhile our numbers have been a little low but I'm starting to see more HD Techs on here which is awesome!  Looking forward to seeing your contributions to the group. :)

Plus there are more good HD Techs on here too, sorry guys, can't remember all the names. :)

Lol.  ;D.  Thanks Spence.  As you can see Denis we are all very easy to get along with and this is an awesome group of guys.  My first piece of advice to you Denis is start going over the tutorials on how to use your Pico.  This will get you up to speed on the equipment and it will also show you how to use the scope more efficiently.  Any questions don't hesitate to ask. :)

That was part of my homework, before making the final decision regarding the purchase. I had installed the software on one of my workstation and practiced with wave files while following the PicoAuto tutorials. I had also watched the Scanner Danner pico video previously, along with some of yours. As for buying the kit from Autonerdz, it was a no brainer: Peer support is always a big factor for me.

Cool.  For the Starter Health Question pm Spence about it.  Tried to find it but couldn't.  On my smart phone. Limits ability sometimes,lol.

Scanner Danner is on our forums here but is not a Picogroup member so has no access to our Picogroup resources.  He only scratches the surface of what you can do with PicoScope.

Scanner Danner markets PicoScope for AES.  I am so glad you saw past that and did your own homework.  So many discover later that they could have had so much more.

Thank you for supporting us and we will do our best to be worthy.

Yep.  Paul Danner is a good teacher, but he's not someone I'd consider adept with Pico.  Well, at least not in the same way most Nerdz use Pico anyway.  When I first started watching Mr. Danner's videos he was still using the old Pico 5 program even though Pico 6 had been available for some time.  If he had been an Autonerdz Picogroup member he might have maintained some level of familiarity with program & hardware advancements.  Considering his position in academia, I can't really blame him though.  Heck, I'm probably two or three versions behind too, and I fix cars daily, lol.

AES is a good company, in my opinion, but I agree with Tom when I say that they are comprised of so many different products that I don't see how they can focus on Pico as well as a specialist like Autonerdz.  If I had a question about a uScope, I'd call Mr. Menchu, but when it comes to Pico, well . . .

Indeed they are.  We are customers of theirs as well.  Where do you think those great colored secondary leads we put in our custom kits come from?

But you are right.  As sharp as those guys are, it is impossible for them to even come close to supporting PicoScope the way we do because their attentions are divided.

In fact, no other vendor has made the commitment to Pico we have.  I just wish that was appreciated more by those other than our customers..... ::)
