Thanks Tom, wanted to add I own the Snap On version of the LS2000 (EEOS306A)and would love to learn everything I can about how to use it to improve my diagnostic capabilities & strategies.All this is new and exciting to me (like a kid with a new toy) and it is sad to say but being factory trained  for  95% of my career has left me lacking in alot of these areas that go above and beyond a flow chart, so I am really looking forward to absorbing all the information I can from You and the other fine members here and getting into the theory of operation and diagnostic strategies that will kick it up a notch for me. And hopefully I will be able to add something to an already great group of People !!
