The Pico range of automotive accessories are ideal for use with Pico Automotive Diagnostics Kits and Automotive Oscilloscopes, and other labscopes.

If you are involved with more specialised R&D work you should also consider the TC-08 thermocouple data logger for measuring temperatures up to 1800 °C, and the ADC-11 data logger for multi-channel data logging.

Ignition Probes and Accessories

Coil-On-Plug Extension Lead (PP399)

Coil-on-Plug extension leads are the simple accessory that allow you to take accurate secondary ignition measurements on Coil-on-Plug ignition systems.

Coil-on-Plug extension leads are designed to aid diagnostics on secondary ignition circuits by allowing an HT measurement to be made when there are no, or limited access, to any spark plug leads.

Also available is a set of 4 COP extension leads that is ideal for use with cartridge coil-packs.

Price £24.99   (approx $49.98 (US) / €32.49)      Quantity    

PP400 Coil-On-Plug Extension Lead (set of 4 leads)

Price £94.99   (approx $189.98 (US) / €123.49)      Quantity    

Coil-On-Plug Ignition Probe (PP338)

Designed to save you time, effort and money, the Pico Coil-On-Plug Ignition Probe is the fastest way to test both conventional and coil-on-plug secondary ignition systems.

The Pico Coil-On-Plug Ignition Probe eliminates the need for back-probing or any dismantling — to use the probe simply press it against the coil.

BNC to BNC Cable with Earth Clamp (TA033)

BNC cable

3 metre (9 ft 10 in) BNC socket to BNC socket cable with earth clamp.

Price £15.00   (approx $30.00 (US) / €19.50)      Quantity    

FirstLook™ Engine Diagnostic Sensor (TA014)

The FirstLook Engine Diagnostic Sensor connects to the exhaust or vacuum side of the engine to be tested and offers a fast and accurate method to diagnose automobile engine problems such as burnt valves, bad injectors and other performance problems without major disassembly of the engine.

The FirstLook sensor is particularly suitable for use with a Pico automotive oscilloscope, but can also be used with most other modern lab scopes.

The FirstLook Engine Diagnostics Sensor kit comprises of the following items:-

  • FirstLook Diagnostic Sensor
  • 25 ft (7.6 m) cable - BNC to BNC cable
  • 45 inch (1.1 m) cable - BNC to banana jack plugs
  • BNC to BNC adaptor
  • Vacuum line adaptor

Inductive Pickup (TA032)

The TA032 Inductive Pickup is ideally suited for use with the ACE Misfire Detective.

Price £35.00   (approx $70.00 (US) / €45.50)      Quantity    

Mixmaster 12-Channel Automotive Signal Mixer (PP361)

With the Mixmaster 12-channel automotive signal mixer you can view an ignition parade display of up to 12 cylinders on any lab scope.

Mixmaster can produce a parade display of up to 12 cylinders using a single channel of your lab scope. If you have a 2-channel scope, then Mixmaster can also display 2 engine banks separately with up to 6 cylinders per bank.

Mixmaster includes a trigger output, derived from one of the 12 input signals, which can be used to synchronise the scope to a known cylinder. Additionally, Mixmaster features a simple switch so you can invert a bank of signals to deal with negative-going signals on waste-spark systems.

Designed for use with the Automotive Oscilloscope Kit, Mixmaster can also be used on virtually any other lab scope, and can be used on both DIS and distributor ignition systems.

Price £197.00   (approx $394.00 (US) / €256.10)      Quantity    

Secondary Ignition Pickup (PP178)

Due to the high voltages involved in secondary ignition systems, it is not possible to make measurements by direct connection; attempting to make a direct connection will almost certainly damage the measuring instrument.

The PP178 is a capacitive pickup that simply connects around the insulation of an ignition circuit component such as a plug wire — this avoids the need for direct connection.

The PP178 comes with a shielded 2.5m (100 inch) lead. It is suitable for use with conventional ignition systems and most HEI and DIS systems. Our library of Automotive Waveforms contains example waveforms captured using an automotive oscilloscope and the PP178.
