PicoDiagnostics NVH Kit
The PicoDiagnostics NVH kits from Pico Technology are the cost-effective answer to the many NVH problems facing technicians today. The software provides a real-time diagnosis to the technician, in the form of either: a bar graph, a frequency chart, a 3D frequency chart, RPM order, road speed view or a time domain view. The ability to start the recording before a road test and playback and analyze the recording back in the shop, ensures that the driver's attention remains on the road. Saving the recordings couldn’t be easier: Much like our other automotive software, you can simply save the file to your laptop’s hard drive.
The PicoDiagnostics NVH kits make use of the PicoScope Automotive oscilloscopes and are available in a number of configurations to suit your needs. You can be sure that your investment in the PicoDiagnostics NVH kit will benefit your business without the need for further spending. If you already have a PicoScope Automotive oscilloscope, you’re halfway there.
You can find out more about our PicoDiagnostics NVH kits on our website. |

Case study: Iveco Eurocargo
Our newest case study focuses on a 2009 Iveco Eurocargo, with warning lights, intermittent loss of operation despite the engine still running, and non-selectable gears on a ZF Lite AS-Tronic gearbox.
"Nobody likes an intermittent fault. You can guarantee that by the time you get to look at it, the problem won’t be there and the chances of it reappearing will be once you hand the vehicle back to the customer. I was asked to join a customer following precisely this situation where an initial assessment was carried out only for the fault to not reappear during the diagnosis. Only once the driver was back on the road did it come back and when this fault occurred, the gearbox would select neutral, idle speed would increase, lack of throttle response and would then just sit there with no way of moving it."
Check out the full case study on our website.
