Which Diagnostics Kit is Right for Me?

The Pico range of vehicle diagnostic equipment includes both 2- and 4-channel versions of the Automotive Diagnostics Kit.

Our diagnostics kits can be used on any type, make and model of vehicle without the need for expensive vehicle-specific harnesses or other add-ons.

The kits are supplied with PicoScope Automotive software. This feature-rich software is capable of capturing even the most complex of waveforms, yet the intuitive controls and comprehensive reference library ensures it is both quick and easy to use. PicoScope Automotive software is free — there are no licence fees or annual subscriptions — and updates can always be downloaded for free.

Of course, should you have any problems using your kit you can always rely upon the lifetime of free technical support that is included with each kit, as well as the growing world-wide community of PicoScope users.

Whether you’re an hobbyist, enthusiast or professional, our diagnostics kits will make it easier and faster for you to find vehicle faults – saving you time and money.

Whatever your needs or budget we have a vehicle diagnostics kit for you.
Choosing your kit is as easy as 1,2,3…

Our Advanced Diagnostics Kit is the ultimate in vehicle diagnostics.

The advanced kit use the latest and most advanced PicoScope lab scope – the PicoScope 4423 Automotive Oscilloscope.

The PicoScope 4423 can capture signals four times faster than any other PicoScope automotive scope – this makes it compatible with the emerging FlexRay standard and ensures your kit will continue to be useful for many years to come.

As well as capturing faster signals, the PicoScope 4423 also outperforms other scopes thanks to the 32 MiB of ‘always on’ memory. With 64 times the memory of the previous generation of scopes, the PicoScope 4423 ensures that you can effortlessly capture every detail of the signal. Never again will you miss those hard-to-find intermittent faults.

Along with our most advanced PicoScope lab scope, an Advanced Kit also includes a wide variety of probes, test leads and other accessories all designed to make it quicker and easier for you to carry out your tests. When not in use, the scope and all accessories can be stored in the durable case. Perfect for mobile diagnostics.
