Absolute vs Delta sensors(WPS500 DOES BOTH?) 

You just answered this question earlier today! You never stop man. Keep up the great work, I'm learning more with every video. Can't wait to take a Brendan Steckler class as well because of you.👍

Great work Mario, people deafly need to see the difference between the two because I’m sure there’s a lot of questions out there about that. Thank for the shout out too bud

Excellent video. This is the first time I have ever seen anyone use the zoom feature of theWPS500 , including the Pico channel! Well done. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

Demonstrating by actually connecting both sensors at the same time, is definitely VERY helpful.

The WPS is likely more-noisy (relative to Delta-sensor) because it manipulated a bias voltage where a piezoelectric device generates its own voltage👍

I’ve gotten to the point where the only time I use a pulse sensor is when I need a second sensor on another channel and the WPS500X is already being used for something else. The WPS500 works for all of the purposes I used to use the pulse sensor for. It’s a very versatile transducer.

Great video and explanation Mario. I just did a similar thing with one of Michaels sensors and the Autoditex version.

Your video is a great example why it's so important to get to these training classes. Nice job sir

Crazy how sensitive these things really are, to be able to pickup just the slightest of changes like that. Thanks for sharing this information with us Mario!

Excellent video Super Mario. When you RU-vid techs show us this stuff it let's us all know what we are missing out on. I need to look up this Steckler guy now as well.

Great video Mario, I’m a heaven earth moving mechanic. All of these iTunes mechanical videos have been a big help for me. I appreciate all you all do. You all are making all of us be better mechanics instead of parts guessers. Thanks bro

Great video Mario, appreciate the side by side comparison. Never knew that you could make the WPS react like a delta sensor. As always thanks for sharing with us!

Great info Mario. I felt no pressure watchng this video. ;-)

Been using my WPS like this for years, I show it to my ride along guys but never thought to make a video. Nice one Mario 👍

Great info Mario in how the two sensors work. Should be helpful to many folks.

Thank you Mario. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week.

Thank you for posting this; great info for those getting into transducers and pulse sensors. This is the only listing between these two types of tools I've seen.

Thanks for sharing the information Keep them coming

Hello Mario I guess I'm late to the party on this one as this was posted a year ago. Great job with your channel. There is some confusion here concerning terms. But first, nice video. I covered this myself along with others way back when the First Look came out. The WPS500 is not an absolute sensor. When you turn it on it calibrates and zero is BARO. One of the best reasons to buy it (as opposed to Snap On etc.) is that it holds the calibration where the others do not. An example of an actual absolute sensor would be a MAP sensor. The WPS500 is a differential pressure sensor, it measures the difference between a reference that isn't absolute zero and what you are measuring. An example of this would be a fuel tank pressure sensor. It measures the difference between tank pressure and BARO. Piezo sensors such as the First Look are not measuring pressure but rather pressure changes. Some call it a pulse sensor. These respond to pressure changes and amplitude is a function of the speed of change as well as the pressure strength. This is what makes them so useful for tests such as cranking vacuum. I don't care for running vacuum tests given the manifold airflow dynamics. Lots of techs have made bad decisions using the running pulse measurements.

Great capture on the two sensors. A picture is worth a 1000 words (as the saying goes) and it's true for this demonstration.

Once again mario great video, never stop learning with your videos keep them coming 👍🏻

Great job Mario, both great tools and certainly have their place in the toolbox 👍🏼

I think your diagnostic skills are fantastic, thx for sharing.

What a great idea for a video. Definitely learned something, as usual. Thanks for sharing this! 👍

Agreed with you they're both useful we better get them both

Mario, good info brotha more teaching like this one would be great so i can learn more and be ready when i buy te PICO LOVE UR VIDEOS . CHEEEEEERS

Great Explanation and demo on how they work bro.. Cheers

Good job brother. Keep up your videos.

Great video as always. Keep it up.

Great demo!

Well done. Great tips on having the option.

Oh, I see, the piezo sensor is measuring the slope of the pressure/time curve. But don't you want live pressure readings for something like intake manifold pressure or cylinder pressures?

Great explanation mario

Mario always a great educational video. In which scenario would you use both

👍👍👍Great job

Nice !

Hey Mario, wondering about the addition to you diag cart on the front where you plug your leads into.. where did you find that , looks pretty sweet

So where do we get these pulse sensors?

Hi, I have the WPS. Is the other what is known as a "first look sensor'?

what brand piezo sensor do you use or recommend, great videos thank you

👍👍

🤔🤔👍👍👍👍
