Video case study: 2006 Vauxhall Corsa
The classic saying of nothing is easy couldn’t be more true with intermittent faults. Here we take a look at a 2006 Vauxhall Corsa which would cut out and not start and then suddenly be fine again! No fault codes meant using Pico to capture a few common signals to see if we can capture the fault and then get some direction.

DAF DEF warnings case study
We have a new case study available to read, focusing on a DAF CF. The vehicle presented lots of warnings and alarms on the dashboard, and there had been no apparent drivability issues prior to the appearance of these warning lights. To investigate further, check out the entire case study on our website.

Coming soon: PicoScope Off-highway kit
PicoScope is widely used on passenger cars, but is also suitable for heavy duty and off-highway maintenance by both manufacturers and service providers.
Vehicles include trucks, tractors, forklifts, boats, combine harvesters, excavators, and more. PicoScope only needs a voltage input, and we have a wide range of accessories available to investigate all types of signals.
PicoScope covers all systems, sensors, and actuators found in both heavy-duty and off-highway vehicles. This includes high-voltage, hydraulic pressure, and high-speed networks, allowing vehicles and equipment to be maintained at peak performance and reliability.
To register your interest, check out our on our new PicoScope Off-highway kit page.

Major waveform library update on the way...
We are excited to announce a major update of the PicoScope 7 Automotive Waveform Library towards the end of July. The update brings you all the features of the previous library that had not yet made it across to the new version, such as:
- A new, more robust, waveform upload process;
- Additional waveform management options within 'My waveforms', such as waveform editing and deletion;
- Up to 10 x faster loading speeds.
In addition, the underlying cloud storage has been totally redeveloped so you will need to update both your stable and early access versions of PicoScope 7 Automotive to their latest versions to gain access. If you are using PicoScope 6 Automotive you will no longer be able to access the library and need to upgrade to PicoScope 7 Automotive to continue to use it (you will see a banner in the PicoScope 6 Automotive library prompting you to do so).
Check out the full article on our website.

Re: One waveform One picture by Kris Williams
This post is from a Pico user who kindly shared this with the Pico Automotive Facebook group who has kindly allowed us to share his investigation into a Golf with non-functioning AC. |

Changes to supported Linux versions and libraries
As part of our continuous commitment to supporting the latest software platforms, we now support Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with our Early Access software. However, Early Access support of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will be discontinued. We will continue to support openSUSE Leap 15.3 with both our Early Access and Stable versions and the latter will continue to support only Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04, for the time being.
In addition, our Early Access software's dependency on the Linux GLIBC libraries has moved from GLIBC_2.24 to GLIBC_2.28. Early Access version users using the supported Ubuntu platforms described above will not be affected by this change. We also believe that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS users also will not be affected. However, some users of the 18.04 LTS or older platforms may experience a "GLIBC_2.28 not found" warning and inoperative software when trying to use PicoScope 7 Early Access with it. PicoScope 7 Stable versions will remain unaffected by this change, for the time being.
For this reason, we recommend that users of older, unsupported, Ubuntu platforms with our Early Access software either upgrade your Ubuntu to the later, supported, versions or do not upgrade your Early Access software beyond version 7.0.101. |
