1.  New Oscilloscope Kit!

Following on from the successful launch of the 4000 Series scope, we have now introduced the advanced kit.

The latest top-of-the-range kit includes all the accessories that we could fit in the box!

The PicoScope Oscilloscope Diagnostics Kits have a great reputation in the automotive industry, but we’ve just thought of a way to make them even better. You now have the choice of building your own collection of accessories, or buying everything you need in one kit. To help busy mechanics and technicians, our diagnostics experts have put together the new Advanced Kit, which contains everything in the previous kit plus a generous selection of the best diagnostic accessories.
