An automotive oscilloscope captures a live electrical signal and displays it as a waveform, so you can see how a component actually behaves rather than guessing from a fault code alone. Technicians across a wide variety of industries use it for non-invasive testing covering sensors, actuators, ignition, charging and communication circuits. Reading the waveform confirms the real cause of a fault before any part is replaced, saving you time and money.
A scan tool tells you where a fault is logged. An automotive oscilloscope shows you why it is happening. This prevents you replacing parts on a hunch and allows you to build diagnostic confidence with your customers. Our scopes are also designed with technicians in mind. With more than 160 Guided Tests, plus thousands of waveforms in our Waveform Library, our PicoScope Automotive Software makes signal analysis easy – no matter your experience. It’s just as easy to embed within your existing workflow, complementing scan tools as a verification method.

One of the greatest challenges in modern diagnostics is resisting the urge to force a vehicle’s data to fit your preferred theory. When faced with an intermittent fault or a complex control network, it is easy to jump to conclusions based on a fault code alone.
Automotive Applications Specialist
One of the most important decisions when using an automotive oscilloscope is where and how to connect to the vehicle. Measurement quality depends not only on the scope and probe but on the connection method.
