Major software update for
PicoScope 7 Automotive

We have recently released a substantial update of its PicoScope 7 Automotive software. The new release, denoted version 7.1, powers Pico Technology’s automotive oscilloscopes and provides a powerful set of measurement tools that are widely used for fault diagnosis by workshop and field maintenance technicians in many industries, further enhancing their productivity and effectiveness.

In a major enhancement to its relaunched Waveform Library, Pico Technology has added Waveform Management. With this new feature, users can quickly discover – with one click – all their locally-saved waveforms and then directly edit them within one place in the software. This removes the users’ need to switch between applications and significantly streamlines their waveform management processes.

In addition to Waveform Library upgrades, Pico Technology has completely rebuilt its Guided Test application. Whilst retaining its touch-screen friendly navigation, the application is now also available on macOS and Linux platforms, as well as Windows. This expansion ensures technicians using different operating systems can leverage the powerful Guided Tests and maintain effective diagnostic processes, regardless of their preferred platform. To support the global PicoScope community, we have increased the number of supported Guided Test languages to fourteen.

For additional information on even more features recently added to PicoScope 7 Automotive, you can read the entire press release, and check out the full release notes on our downloads page.
