Don't think it's possible. The scope is only two channel and I've only
got one clamp on pickup.
But I can store the waveforms in memory and do that on the computer.
Just not real-time.
On the other hand I have seen PC based testers out there for reasonable
costs. Picotech.com makes one but it doesn't look like it does multiple
spark plugs like a Sun or SnapOn analizer does.

There are also PC based multichannel O-scopes that work reasonably
well, particularly for low frequency stuff like automobiles.
