Hey guys. Looking for an alternative to Snap-on's Modis. Anyone know of an Oscilloscope that has output state control, and similar features that's not crazy expensive? Mostly just need a good, responsive Oscilloscope function, but a built in code puller etc would be great. Budget may vary, based on what I can get, but I wanted to get a general opinion before dishing out a stack of cash. I don't really know anyone that's up to date on this that won't try and get me to jump on their damn tool truck.
its way the fuck out of date; huge, noisy, slow, shit battery life, and still uses the fucking key system aka DRM for OBD2. its a waste as a scanner.
the scope is ok, but i'd spend more money and get a pico + a scanner that isn't shit like the android based scanners coming out now. paying more than 400 bucks for a modis would be dumb.

It is clunky, and kind of a nuisance in some cases, but I do like the interface, and the output state control with the Oscilloscope/built-in DMM has helped out in several occasions. I don't own it, but I've used one a lot. The stupid key chips are annoying and get damaged easily. That's why I'm looking for a cheaper alternative that doesn't have the brand name with the half-assed warranty
Have you tried this place called Amazon?

Yes, yes, I know about that. Its not HOW or WHERE to get it, it's WHAT to get. Surely someone's used something comparable or maybe knows something that's not commonly known because big brands take the spotlight. I have regular access to Snap-on, MAC and Matco dealers like many others, but I'm not trying to pay the brand name for some fancy bells and whistles. I don't need built-in diagnostics tips and shit that I don't have a choice to pay for.
Eric O uses a Picoscope for almost everything scope related.
