2.  Connect the B-shaped terminal of the USB cable to the Scopebox USB port, 
and the other end to the USB port of the diagnostic tool.   
3.   Plug  the  BNC  end  of  secondary  ignition  pickup  into  CH1/CH2/CH3/CH4 
channel of the Scopebox, and connect the high-voltage clip to high-voltage 
line, and crocodile clips to ground.   
*Tips:  Common  ignition  sequence  (the  specific  sequence  is  subject  to  the  actual 
engine ignition sequence) 
Four-stroke in-line four-cylinder: 1-2-4-3, or 1-3-4-2 
Four-stroke in-line six-cylinder: 1-5-3-6-2-4, or 1-4-2-6-3-5 
Four-stroke in-line eight-cylinder: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 
Five-cylinder: 1-2-4-5-3 
V 6 engine: generally speaking, based on the person sitting on the driver cab, if 
the right side cylinder numbers on the right side, from the front to the back are as 
follows: 1, 3, 5; and the cylinder numbers on the left side, from the front to the 
back are as follows: 2, 4, 6; then the ignition sequence is: 1-4-5-2-3-6. If 
the cylinder numbers on the right side, from the front to the back are as follows: 
2, 4, 6; and cylinder numbers on the left side, from the front to the back are as 
follows:1, 3, 5; then the ignition sequence is: 1-6-5-4-3-2. 
Figure  13-1  below  shows  the  normal  ignition  waveform  of  distributor  ignition 
system,  the  upper  one  is  the  secondary  waveform,  and  the  lower  one  is  the 
primary waveform.   
The secondary waveform 
A section is contact open period; B section is make contact period, which is the 
magnetizing field of ignition coil.
