Just wanted to give a quick hello.  My name is Gregory Paolini.  I'm a 17 year veteran tech at a multi-line GM dealer in Asheville, NC, and there have attained GM World Class Master Technician status - Which that and five bucks will get me a guinnes down at the bar.

Anyway, I've used an older tektronix scope for years, and have recently cut the cord and bought a snappy vantage pro.  I like the tektronix better, but cordless is so conveinient that I find myself using my VP many times throughout the day, where as the old analog only got dragged out on occasion as a last resort.

I mainly use my scope(s) for Ignition testing, verifying basic waveforms, relative compression, cranking vaccuum (thru the MAP), and occasionally with a low amp probe for current ramps on coils and injectors, as well as patterns on fuel pumps and the like.

I'm hoping to learn new applications for my scopes and/or things I've never thought of using it for.

Unrelated to automotive, I'm also a furniture/cabinet maker who has been featured in numerous magazines, books, and newspapers....  Actually, I'm not sure why I'm still involved with cars - Perhaps I'm a closet saddist? ;)

Anyway, that's me

Regards,

Gregory Paolini
