Renault Zoe | Warning message

Technology is changing at a relentless pace, presenting challenges to technicians worldwide. For those who are not brand-specific, diagnosing anything and everything, these challenges are beyond consuming. The following case study is one such example. I would like to share the hurdles I had to be overcome when I attempted to diagnose a Renault Zoe with virtually zero product knowledge.

New forum section – Heavy Duty and Off Highway

There's a new section on our forum! We know that there's more to life than just cars, so we've set aside this new space for technicians to discuss all the other vehicles and machines that PicoScope can help diagnose. This includes medium to heavy-duty vans, trucks, tractors, forklifts, construction equipment and even industrial engines.

We want to support both new and advanced PicoScope users, and hopefully speed up the diagnostic process for everyone. Feel free to post any questions or solutions you might have, and lets to help the Pico community support each other!

NVH microphones

Customer complaints of noise (e.g. transmission whine and brake squeal) require the addition of a microphone in order to capture and display the frequencies relevant to the customer's concern.
In this forum post, Steve Smith explains how to set up your NVH microphones for the different interfaces.

Current clamp settings explained

Phil Rutt is explaining how to use our current clamps and what the different settings are.
