To display secondary ignition waveforms the Lab Scope must be properly
configured to the type of ignition system you are testing, and for the type of display
pattern you wish to view. For general reference information on ignition waveforms,
see Ignition Waveform Reference on page 141 .

3. Choose one of the following test modes:
– Parade - displays the secondary waveform pattern for each cylinder in the
firing order from left to right across the screen.
– Cylinder - displays the secondary waveform pattern for the selected
cylinder.
– Raster - displays the secondary waveform pattern for each cylinder in the
firing order, from the bottom to the top across the screen.
– Superimposed - displays the secondary waveform pattern for each cylinder
in the firing order stacked on top of each other.
– Single Cylinder Ignition - configures the unit to connect to an individual
cylinder using a fixed time sweep when a lead is not available to connect to
all cylinders.
4. Select Setup from the upper toolbar.
