INTRODUCTION Pico PC-based diagnostics Simplicity and reliability PicoScope connects to your PC using a simple, reliable USB cable. It also gets its power through this cable, so there’s no extra power adapter. We have made everything else as simple as possible. We have been refining and testing the PicoScope concept for over 18 years. Everything you get in a PicoScope Diagnostics kit has been selected by our own automotive experts. If a component fails, falls apart or just annoys us, we redesign it. The result is a kit that is used by independent garages, vehicle manufacturers and dealer...

One kit, a wide range of diagnostic tests PicoScope includes all these tests in one package The oscilloscope is the X-ray machine of diagnostics, letting you see the changing signals inside wires. Start with the built-in library of waveforms and then, when you get more confident, add more of your own. Test primary and secondary ignition, injectors, pumps, temperature sensors, MAP and MAF sensors, crankshaft and camshaft sensors, glow plugs... and the rest. Electrical system test More than just a battery tester: as well as measuring state of charge, condition and cold cranking amps, it also...

Do I need a scope or a scan tool? The short answer is "both", but read on... PicoScope is not designed to replace scan tools. Scan tools and scopes do very different jobs, so a well-equipped workshop needs both. Here's how a typical PicoScope diagnosis • Read the fault report or listen to the customer's story. • Test the vehicle until you see the • If the MIL is on, use a scan tool to look for fault codes (DTCs). • If the DTCs point to a faulty component, use PicoScope to check that the component really is faulty fault is logged, use PicoScope to rule out the correctly functioning parts of...

Case Study: Misfire on a Toyota Avensis Diagnosed with the PicoScope oscilloscope software code reader showed: on banks 1 and 2. The short-term fuel trims were up to 18% and 19%, also PicoScope showed a glitch in the sensors when the throttle was snapped Here we can see that the MAF sensor (now blue) had a low peak output of less than 3.5 V, and both 02 sensors remained lean throughout the wide- open throttle test. elements turned out to be dirty, so we cleaned them with carb cleaner. After the sensor was refitted, PicoScope showed that the 02 sensors went rich, as expected, during the...

PicoScope for CAN bus, LIN bus and FlexRay PicoScope is compatible with the main vehicle data bus standards PicoScope is fast enough and accurate enough to look at the electrical signals on CAN bus, LIN bus and the new FlexRay interface. By looking at the electrical waveform you can check for short circuits, open circuits, missing termination resistors, noise and interference. SOFTWARE In fact, at the time of writing, PicoScope is the only automotive scope that is fast enough for FlexRay. You may not be using FlexRay today, but it is on its way. Why buy another scope that will be out of...
