We would like your feedback!

Pico would like to thank all our current beta testers for their invaluable feedback on the previous releases of PicoScope 7. We believe it continues to improve and hope that you agree that we are moving in the right direction.

Now that we are making it available for everyone, we are looking forward to receiving even more feedback. If you have any feedback you want to share with us, click on More -> Send Feedback.

During the initial beta reviews and improvements, Steve Smith created some videos showing off the incorporated features. If you are interested in watching these PS7 videos, you can find them in this playlist. 

Pico Technology has long since tried to be environmentally friendly, but with the more recent IPCC and UN reports, it became obvious much more needed to be done. Taking the science, the threat of climate change and environmental biodiversity loss into account, we feel that it is more important than ever to act. With this in mind, we have created an internal group called Pico Planet.

The group is cross-department and consists of volunteers with experience and know-how in going green. With the help of this group, we have set the following target; to become carbon neutral by 2030. We take this work very seriously and hope to become a blueprint that other businesses can follow.

You can read more about the plans and actions that come from the Pico Planet group on our news page or Facebook group and can find our complete environmental policy on our website. 

We are proud to be Pico, and we hope you are proud to use our scopes!

We look forward to hearing from you. 

Keyless entry signal carrier detector

By using PicoScope with the Keyless entry signal carrier detector (TA330), the technician can detect the presence of a keyless entry carrier signal in the frequency range of 125 to 140 kHz (which is used by most manufacturers). The device has a short range by design, allowing the technician to check each pick-up coil in turn to identify faulty units.

Note: The detector does not pick up or decode the high-frequency secure information used to unlock the vehicle.
