When I turn it on it says "power up failure, press menu key to continue". I
press the 3 keys of MEMORY DISPLAY ON/OFF part. In the past it went back to
working like a simple analog scope after a few key presses. But now I can't
get out of the acq_mode setup table.
 
Is there a trick to get rid of these menus and obtain a simple analog scope?
 
Bye

If you remove the case and look at the top board, near the 8088
processor (40 pin DIP, fairly obvious) there is a plug marked RESET.
Move it to the reset position. That will stop the digital board from
running and assuming you have no serious faults will turn the scope into
an analog only scope.
 
If you want to repair it I suggest you go over to
https://groups.io/g/TekScopes. The 2230 has comprehensive diagnostics
built in.

quite a few.
 
a search for obd on the ios app store returns more than 300 hits.
 
there is no shortage of obd apps.

I love when Jolly Roger posts because he is the epitome of an iOS user!
*Jolly Roger literally enjoys iOS' astronomical overall cost of ownership!*
 
In fact, when it comes time for "logical argument", the main argument Jolly
Roger displays is that if you can't afford to pay twice as much for half
the performance, then you shouldn't be on iOS in the first place.
 
That's why I _love_ when Jolly Roger posts for all iOS users!
 
I love when Jolly Roger writes because he can't hide his true feelings.
He's the PERFECT example of the thought process of the average iOS user!
 
Jolly Roger clearly has his iOS religious convictions.
Of that, there is no doubt.
 
*Yet, none of Jolly Roger's arguments ever stand up to logical scrutiny.*
His _only_ argument is that the less-functional app is twice the price!
 
And he shoves that twice-the-price for half-the-performance in sms' face.
As if paying twice as much for half the functionality is a badge of honor!
 
I LOVE when Jolly Roger posts!
I really do.
 
I'm serious.
He can't hide his true feelings.

I don't love or hate it, because it doesn't affect my ability to use the
Carista BLE Bluetooth adapter (or any other) AT. FUCKING. ALL. I
couldn't care less whether some shitty adapter won't work, because I
won't be using one anyway.

It *is* a good app. And despite your false claims, it *does* compete
directly with Torque Pro, and does a *good* job of it.

And yet still has a lower rating. : ) Not that I care about your little
pissing contest. The point is despite your false claim, there *are*
quality OBD apps for iOS.

If you can't afford $9.99, you should probably ask for a raise. Just
make sure you have the skills to back it up first. Good luck!.

Because it's not needed. Your insistence otherwise won't change that.

And no shortage of OBD Bluetooth adapters that work just fine with those
iOS apps. It's almost as if sms is blowing hot air. #SHOCKER
