This edition…
…we have a new case study looking into a hydraulics power problem on a mini digger. We are sharing a blooper compilation from this year's video production, we have a new batch of Guided Test videos and the video and article series PicoScope NVH and Maths is cool continue. Another competition winner has received his prize and our "Best of the web" section has two interesting entries featuring PicoScope.

Like what you see? Why not forward it to a friend?

Well, I arrived to take a look at a mini excavator where I didn’t get wet, muddy or covered in dust. Apart from it being a little on the cold side, it was a rather pleasant site visit for a change! This isn’t the most in-depth diagnosis on this machine, but we used PicoScope to record each step of the diagnostic process to verify the fix.

Bloopers

If you have followed us for a while, you will know that we do a lot of work creating educational and instructing videos for our users and followers. During any type of filming, there are bound to be some mistakes made, and so we have collected some of those clips for your entertainment this December.

We are releasing another batch of new Guided test videos:

		Gasoline direct injection - injector voltage and current The purpose of this test is to check the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) injector control voltage and current from an Engine Control Module (ECM).

		Gasoline direct injection - injector current The purpose of this test is to check the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) injector control current from an Engine Control Module (ECM).

		Gasoline direct injection - injector voltage The purpose of this test is to check the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) injector control voltages from an Engine Control Module (ECM).

PicoScope NVH episode 7: NVH case studies
We have reached the final episode in the series.
Steve Smith and Frank Massey talk about Frank's case study, the different techniques used, and the results.

Maths is cool - Part 12
Following on from our Pico Practical engine evaluation Q&A, I wanted to dig a little deeper into the benefits of 48 V MHEV in comparison to 12 V systems. The current Audi A8 proved to be the perfect vehicle for such an experiment as it has the ability to crank either by a conventional 12 V starter motor or a 48 V Motor/Generator (MG) system. I thought it would be great to do these comparisons with maths and incorporate “Time” into our math channel equations.

Competition winner

Congratulations to Rich Falco, the winner of our second giveaway competition!
He is now the proud owner of a WPS500X kit.
Rich is an automotive instructor for Carquest Technical Institute and a member of Trained By Techs.
We wish him all the best.

Identifying a Shifted Crankshaft Timing Gear (Picoscope and PSI Transducer)

Scanner Danner is teaching some high school students about the advantages of in-cylinder pressure transducer testing. (Links to relevant SD Premium videos below). During this lecture, they noticed the vehicle being used had some problems that needed to be addressed.

Pico Lesson 3

In lesson 3 in DrivelineMaster's series of training videos on using Pico Scope Automotive software. You will learn about scales and time rulers.
