Waveform Manager | PicoScope 7 Automotive


In this video, we demonstrate how to use the PicoScope Waveform Manager to edit your waveform data before uploading waveforms to the Waveform Library. You can check out this video at the link below.

 

CAN Diagnosis and Reverse Engineering with PicoScope 7 Automotive


In this video, we use PicoScope 7 Automotive software to decode CAN serial data and detect CAN wiring faults using, Maths, Masks & Actions. We then apply reverse engineering techniques to identify ECU's present on the CAN network, direction of CAN messaging (using a current clamp). Finally, we calculate the timing between physical events (such as brake pedal application) and the appearance of brake pedal activation messaging appearing on the CAN network.

PicoAcademy Off Highway:
Diesel Diagnostics (Part 2)


This video is a continuation of our PicoAcademy Off Highway series, which show how PicoScope can be used to diagnose a range of common problems found with Off Highway machinery.

Diesel Diagnostics (Part 2) is the final part of Jon Parker and Ben Martins' guide for diagnostics testing on diesel vehicles, covering misfire detection, CAN networks, and a recap on understanding waveforms. Check it out below!

 

A to Z: Persistence Mode

Persistence is a graphing mode that overlays incoming waveforms on top of each other so that you can see how or whether they with time.Persistence is useful for capturing and analyzing events that occur infrequently or for viewing the behavior of signals over an extended period. It can be used for capturing glitches in repetitive signals that typically remain fixed during normal operation. i.e. Fixed duty or frequency actuator control signals.

To learn how to use Persistence Mode in PicoScope 7 Automotive, you can check out our new entry into the A to Z of PicoScopes. You can also download the software for free on our website.

Diagnosis of Quiet Cabin Noises

In this forum post, Steve Smith investigates cabin noise detection with NVH.

Relative Compression

In this post, Ben Martins takes us on a journey with a relative compression test that goes in the wrong direction, and explores what we can learn from testing with unexpected results.
