PicoBNC+ COP and Signal Probe — Non-Intrusive Ignition Testing

The TA398 PicoBNC+ COP and signal probe from Pico Technology is the fastest non-intrusive way to test coil-on-plug ignition coils and spark plugs without removal. Designed for automotive technicians, it displays secondary ignition waveforms on your PicoScope oscilloscope, helping you find misfires and diagnose COP ignition problems in seconds.

• Find misfires fast
• Displays scope patterns of the secondary, faster than scoping the primary
• Can also be used to investigate injectors and other inductive actuators
• Flexible design allows for easier access to hard-to-reach components
• No batteries required

Like distributors, spark plug wires are starting to disappear from cars. With the new COP ignition systems the ignition coils are connected directly to the spark plugs, eliminating the need for the spark plug wires. With no high-voltage spark wires, a COP probe is required to be able to pick up the secondary ignition waveform.

Unlike the BNC TA204 COP Probe, the connecting lead is integral to the TA398 BNC+ COP Probe, no TA033 (BNC to BNC lead) is required.

This lead is fitted with a PicoBNC+ interface, allowing it to be recognised by the software for auto-configuration. The lead requires a PicoScope featuring the PicoBNC+, such as the 4225A or 4425A.
