Cheat Sheets

I am trying to create some cheat sheets for expediting scope setup. The idea is to have a no more than 2 page pdf that could be printed and stuck on a tech's tool box.

Check out the attached sheet and let me know your thoughts.

Is this the kind of info that you'd stick to your box for future use?

If you received a large postcard in the mail with info like this on it, would you use it? Would you keep it?

From my point of view I would.  I still consider myself an amateur with most things and learning as I go

Sounds like a good idea. I think I would try to use that as a promotianal campaign. It would be very helpful for new scope users because I've noticed that setting up the scope is what's intimidating for people just getting started. It seems that most people don't want to believe that using a scope is no harder than using a volt meter.

Why dont you rewrite the Pico guided test?
Could it be done with the Nerdz add on software?

Sorry Brad but I have to call....

You've attended at least 2 of my in-person classes and you've been registered here since 2017.  You're playing AAA ball and you don't even realize it.

Remember that a LOT techs don't use a scope at all. Just using one puts you in a league above.

Thank you Dave, that's part of the idea. I want to develop something that has an intrinsic value. Something that I can pass out, mail, and share that people will see as valuable. I figure if I can give value first then people are more likely to see value in the other things we offer. Plus I'd like our branding to live rent free on tool boxes around the world.

Thank you for the suggestion. I hadn't considered trying to take it that far to be honest. At one time we had figured out how to shoehorn things into the guided test menu. Perhaps its time to revisit that project.

I think it's an awesome idea. Our shop has its own 4425 and I bought my own 4425a so we can set up a shop diag cart to promote people using the scope more. We could print these off and have them in the cart and save a lot of questions. This is another value added thing that makes AutoNerdz so great.
