Hi to all. Please help me to choose one oscilloscope. I only need it to diagnose the car's alternator, various car sensors and the can network up to 5mhz. I'm having a hard time choosing.At least 2 channels. I have an analog Philips but it's too big to carry around

 

Budget ?
SDS800X HD are the current market leader in low cost DSO's.

 

If you need to lug it around a lot, then a handheld would be the choice

Link dead?

It's not but you need to stay on the AU website.

You said you wanted to see CAN bus and while most scopes will show you CAN, few offer CAN decode and triggering.
A few compact bench DSO's provide CAN but not all.

 

For CAN bus, a range of choice

The can network up to 5mhz puts you in CAN-FD territory. The scopes for that are on the more expensive side of the scale.

CAN (option)
Trigger on start of frame, type of frame (data, remote, error, or overload), identifier, data, identifier and data, end of frame, missing ack, and bit stuff error on CAN buses up to 1 Mb/s, on CAN FD buses up to 16 Mb/s and on CAN XL buses up to 20 Mb/s.

@tautech price to high for my budget.
@boostbuck hantec 1008c have only 100khz bandwidth.

This look like the one on post 3? https://www.amazon.it/Oscilloscopio...fos.4ed3ebda-5e83-4808-af48-7e08fa6b1d8b&th=1

I cant go over 150€

When I say CAN diagnose I mean that I need to see the wave clear. Only to find the quality of the signal. then I have CAN sniffer to show node id and message.

OK, there nothing special about the physical level of CAN, any decent low-cost scope can trigger on the waveform and show a stable picture.
For a basic CAN diagnose you don't need a scope.

Just a Little bit over "basic"

It's relative. For the EE world, the word diagnose seems to mean something more complex than in the automotive world.
